RPG continued:
 
As they head towards the parking area where Bronco is, Fernando stops in his tracks.
 
"Something wrong Jefe?" Hondo asks.
 
"I'm just thinking. Do you any anything a big rescue like rope, a body cage, splints, sterile rags or bandages? I only have a few things like crowbar but very little in supplies. that rescue I did a couple days ago just made me realize how little I have." Fernando explains.
 
"I got a few things. Lets go back and take inventory and come back tomorrow and get what we need." Hondo says, "Until then, we got work to finish up and then rest and relax afterwards."
 
"I guess you're right." Fernando says.

Hondo: I know I'm right. Besides we either go take a breather or that spirit will end up dead with you and Jeanette sluggin' it out. You would win, hands down, but hell, it just aint worth it. Besides we have stuff to do an' I can't remember what all I have for medical supplies. Oh before I forget.  . .
 
Hondo held out to Fernando the envelope with the patches in it.
 
Tom says the owner may still be alive. Should be ' round a place called fort Sumner, teaxas/ new Mexico boarder.

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

You bring up a number of valid points. I see no reason to continue to discuss those further. There are a couple of things that may need to be addressed.
 
Quote from Fernando on Apr 17th, 2016, 6:46pm:
Fernando is not the type of person that would blame anyone for what they are cleaning up because he has been in that situation before.

To Jeanette it appears that Fernando is blaming the cleaning lady.
 
Quote from Fernando on Apr 17th, 2016, 6:46pm:
But the way Spirits are acting is suspicious for his tastes. It is one thing to observe someone in the past for historical and reference checking on that person. It is another thing to go out, observe what someone is doing and immediately report to someone else like an immediate supervisor (which Moro is to them as per past posts). That is out-right spying.

The spirits through their past observations should know how Fernando operates. In present time of 2066, they should not be spying and reporting on him, that there is a suspicious activity on their part. For Jeanette to understand what is said to Moro by what she heard, she should have asked questions as to why are they continued to be observed. They put us into the situation of doing a job for them which will get done but if they are observing us as we do our work, why? That is suspicious in nature. If they can follow us, and if they can observe us, then they can do the job themselves. They do not need us to do. If they need to observe us, then they do not trust us in getting the job done.

You are right in that the Spirit should not have given Moro an update. The current observations are not about Fernando and Hondo. It's Jeanette they are interested in. They are also interested in Chihiro and Gabrielle.
 
One thing the Spirits are guilty of, if we were to put it in those terms, is despite being around for thousands of years this group of Spirits truly do not understand humans and would not understand why Fernando and Hondo would be angry with them unless they are told.
 
Jeanette knows she has been observed since she was a child. Therefore, the concept of being observed is so normal to her that she too would not see a problem.
 
Side note: I love what is happening with the trailers. If what I say is discouraging you and Hondo that is not my intent. The Spirits know when Gabrielle will be kicked to the curb and probably had this trek perfectly timed to where the party would arrive just in time. This is a good delay; it's a delay nonetheless. I imagine what the Spirits may do is transport Gabrielle to the party the day she is kicked out if party will not be there in time.

That is not a problem, we are playing the characters' roles as they fit.
 
My major personal concern I'm dealing with is this Lenovo X200s Core2Duo laptop, which I have a major issue with one of the "Web Buttons" next to the cursor keys constantly getting in the way, auto-correct getting in the way with typoes so i have edit and reedit posts, and now it's developed an over-heating problem where it gets too hot and crashes on me. Though I took it apart and cleaned it out, it still over heats. I'm wondering if it is either the fan or the sensor to it because it is not turning on to cool the unit down.
 
EDIT:
Information on the VW Camper trailers can be found here; it is a European company but it does have a manufacturing and selling branch in the USA (somewhere in Oregon):

Jeanette has information on two of the things Fernando asked about. "Dr. Brown told me the triangular bandages in plastic zip lock bags we are familiar with are available; a little more expensive. Hikaru said plastic bags are more expensive which explains why triangular bandages are more expensive. Today Moro told me the SAM Splints is made. I was surprised since a SAM Splint is advanced for this world."

"This world is not so ass backwards that spring steel, as used in the SAM Splint, would be too advanced to make. Its only problem is the work needed to give it its spring properties and that itself is not a problem for those willing to make it. Spring Steel is used in a lot of things, including firearms." Fernando points out, "And not to nit-pick, you can have sterile bandages in a sealed wax paper enclosure, as my grandmother told me they had in the Great War. Its a lot cheaper and a bit more fragile than a plastic wrapper but it works. We can make our own, but like most other supplies, if used it needs to be replenished."

“What other medical supplies do you believe is doable in this world?” When it comes to medical equipment, Jeanette is very much new school. She has never used old school equipment such as a mercury thermometer.

"Dare call yourself an observer of humanity? You need to shut up and read a library of books at the local university." Fernando tells them, "Knowledge is not  easily killed off even if you try to wipe out the society. Why else do we still have some electronics, firearm weapons, and transportation technology? Medical technology and medical knowledge is the last thing you see die."

Hondo put the envelope back into his pocket, as they were interrupted. He wasn't sure if Fernando even heard him because of the interruption.  
as they talked he loaded continued to the bronco, loaded his stuff and waited for Fernando. While he waited he cleaned out his pipe, as it had gone out, put it away, found a flask he had hidden in the bronco and took a long, deep hit off of it.

"Fernando?" Jeanette is confused. "Where did that come from? I just asked a simple question."
