Time is flying up on the mountainside. I have already been up here for almost three months. It feels like I should be further along. I spent the first couple of months combining a lot of the junk into one, give or take, big pile of junk. I was originally going to sort everything into piles destined for Goodwill, the…
Here Comes The Sun
I am slowly moving into the 20th century here. Yes, I meant 20th Century. Like when electricity and indoor plumbing started taking off. I have the electricity finally taken care of (at least in a limited way). My main source of big power to charge batteries and run power tools is from my brand new Gas and LP powered generator…
You Don’t Mess Around with the Demolition Man
Been breaking and burning things as I hop into this project. If you didn’t know already, it turns out that I am pretty good a breaking things. The cleaning up part not so much. There are piles and piles of stuff everywhere now. The dry weather comes to the East side of the Cascade Mountains earlier when compared to Seattle.…
I Got the news
As previously stated, I am well aware that I do not have a face for You Tube. If you doubt me, click on my youtube channel. But maybe, just maybe, I have a future in Print Journalism. At least my profile. I was on a volunteer site working on getting drywall installed and reporter from the local newspaper stopped by…
Its a Glamour Profession
Petra Němcová stopped by the All Hands and Hearts Volunteer base the other day. For those of you who are not fashion focused, don’t feel bad. I had to Google her too. The term Super Model kept popping up in the search results. It’s a long story on how she came to create this organization and to a bunk…
That’s Where The Fun Is
Looking back on the past couple of posts, you’ll notice that there is some snow falling on my Washington Property. Pretty much the end of any forward progress there. At least for a wimp like myself. Once the Ohio holiday season ended, there is still several months of fun and frivolity ahead of me before the snow melts and I…
A Vicarious View
My neighbor on the mountain is building a little cabin on his property. I thought you might be interested in seeing the snowy video he made last Christmas…..
2018 – So Far
And here we are again. A cold wind is blowing and the gray overcast skies have settled in above Cleveland Ohio for the winter. I am here for the holidays but don’t have much going on. So, as I wait for Santa to bring me my annual lump of coal, I figured I would type out a nice long,…
Winter Wonderland
Well, it is time to pack it in for the year. It is has become cold and dark most of the time here in central Washington. The trailer I have been staying in doesn’t hold up well against the 20 degree temperatures at night especially since my sleeping bag’s zero degree rating seems to be wishful…
Far From the Human Race
Greetings from my next big adventure. I just closed on 23 acres of mountain property in the mountains of Central Washington. The property is totally off grid at the moment. The only water and power I have is what I bring or make myself. I haven’t fully walked the property yet, but with Verizon service, I am able to get…
