Hondo: As do both of us always have at least one piece of hardware on us. As far as Shoppin' goes, i'm not worried 'bout the early sales. Just want to get done. Hate shoppin'

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

"Personally, I like open air flea markets. It gives me important information about the people in the area and who's the one with the mad skills and whose the ones profiting from those skills. It also tells me what is available within the local area. It does take a little bit of intel gathering, if you know what I mean." Fernando explains.

Hondo: Yeah, I understand. Information gatherin' I can stand. Shoppin' though? Not my strong suit. I know what I want, usually, I go it, I get it, I leave. I don't need to look at stuff I have no need of or money for. Ya know, women type shoppin'.

Valentine: Hey! I'm not like thst!

Hondo: Ok, Ok, most women's shoppin'.But you are right, these open air markets are different. most vendors are artisans themselves an' often do or make things they don't openly sell. an' the specialist are probably the only ones for miles to do their specialty, so they talk to everyone..

"I would say just look around and see what you can find." Fernando says as he writes down a list, "I doubt you will find it but some long battery cable - as long as a camper, a couple of heavy duty relays, some terminal crimps, some heavy duty throw switches... that is just for my camper I'm working on, I need to isolate the high power 24V truck batteries from the rest of the system. If you find radio and computer parts, who knows - don't buy, just look and ask. We can go tomorrow before we leave this place. I got a few Raspberry Pis and Arduinos, I have a feeling we are going to build a rover to spy for us further down the road. But I would like to know if there are some radio doctors out there; I'm noticing some faint activity out, somebody has to be servicing those radios. Thing is - who?"

"BBBBUUUUURRRRRRRPPPP!!!!!!"

Everyone turns around and looks at Macey for a second.

"Macey, you need to take it slowly when you eat! Or you are going to get filled up with gas and your stomach is going to hurt you all day." Fernando tells her.

She just looks back at her newly appointed father while biting on her lower lip.

"Maybe she had to fight for her food where she came from?" Val asks.

"From what I gather she had to fight for a lot of things. But with us, she does not have to fight no more for anything." Fernando explains.

Hondo: Don't worry, little lady. No one here will take it from ya an' there is plenty to go 'round. Anyone tries to take yur food an' I'll whoop 'um good.

Hondo smilled an' winked at her as he said that. She gave a hald smile an' looked down. Hondo wasn't sure if she was still bein' shy or she was embarrassed. Hondo turned back to Fernando to take the attention off Macey.

Hondo: Jefe, I'm sure we can find some of this. might hafta figure out how to jerry-rig some of it. An' ifin there is a radio tech anywhere in the area I bet ya dollars to doughnuts that someone in the market will know 'bout 'um.

"I go not expect to get everything on the first market as long as we hop from town to town we get what we need when we find it. Food is more important. And other things we use are more important- paper products, soap, fuel, hell - even water if we can get it in a 55 gallon drum! In seeing the campers we got, I thought we were going to sleep in the woods and truck stops and fill up on supplies when they get low. Even pump water out of a stream and do some hunting and fishing when needed. But all we are doing is motel jumping. Not that I mind - the girls do need their privacy when they wash up and all that what girls do. But we only got a 1/2 chest of gold and silver coins with the other have being ammo and some girls clothing, how long is that going to last? You know..." Fernando explains.

He continues, "If Jeanette does not come by the time the market opens, leave without her. I'll be here to take care of things. She needs to learn to 'lead, follow or get out of the way.'"

They waited until the markets had already been opened for 20 to 30 minutes, roughly, Finally Hondo had enough of waiting around.

Hondo: Val, Time to go. Jefe, Ifin she or the others come 'round any time soon they should know where to find us. Like I said, you know where the gun locker is. Help yourself to the fridge. You know how to work the internal computer system an' the entertainment system as it's damn near close to the other camper. Ifin we need to ask ya about parts we find we'll give ya a hollar on the radio. otherwise, ifin ya hear guns or explosions our way take the camper an' get outta town ASAP. Ya got the little lady to worry 'bout now so don't risk yourself.
