It seems rare these days that the word literally is used correctly so in my attempt to save the English language, here you go….I am happy to say that I literally have nowhere to go but up from here. I mentioned in my previous post the inspector gave me the go ahead to pour the cabin footing. A short lived…
If April showers bring May Flowers, May flowers are probably pretty pissed. They have been stymied by May’s cold wet weather. The people that keep track are reporting that Seattle has recorded its wettest May since 1948. The numbers aren’t official, but at last count, Seattle was within a few drops of hitting 4” of rain in May. Usually the…
New Year’s Eve morning was the end of my month long stay in Powell, Wy. It was also -10F. The car’s battery was not happy about being nudged awake after a month of little use. That feeling of relief that only someone driving an old car while living in the path of arctic winds can understand washed over me as…
It is late November and the road to camp ices over every night now. Only to melt out to a simultaneously slippery and sticky mud by the afternoon. t the risk of being overly dramatic, I have to say it is a difficult effort and a bit unsafe. I know because I have walked it 4 times yesterday and 2…

YouTube said this video violates copyright laws so they wouldn’t let me post it in my preferred form. So the legal…
Not being much of a farmer, I really don’t know how big an acre actually is. I have tried to find a comparison that I can relate to. In my DuckDuck Go efforts (cause I don’t want the Google overlords to know that I am spatially unaware), I have earned that it is very similar to a football field. Being…
I arrived in the area on Jan 24th hoping to get up to the property to see how it was holding up. I procrastinated a bit over in a cheap Ellensburg hotel for a week. A week got extended to 2 then 3 weeks. Laying in bed eating Lean Cuisines and catching up on continuous episodes of Law and Order…
There is some snow blowing into central Washington this weekend and based on the a weatherman’s frantic predictions, it’s going to be the worst one ever. With that in mind, I am getting ready to head up to the property where I am sure birds are chirping and balmy breezes are blowing. The internet access isn’t so good, though. Updating…
