Off the MountainI must be getting old because all my Nieces and Nephews are graduating college and even getting married. I RSVP’d yes to the next one in Ohio at the end of October. So I’ve had to wrap up this year’s work and hit the road. I have to drive the 2200 miles to Ohio, find a suit…
I started the process to get a well dug on my property back in May. It started with an application to the county along with a $2000 check for them to see if I am worthy of running water. Although I have visited them a couple of times and my obvious need for a hot shower hasn’t swayed them yet.…
This post has no pictures to prove it really happened due to my thinking ahead that any electronics were gong to mix with water. So you’ll have to take my word for it that this is all true, give or take…… It was the annual boy’s campout weekend at my friend’s property down the mountain from me. By boys,…
Since I have been obviously remiss in getting updates posted on this blog, I thought that some photos that I have posted to my google account would suffice until I can get time to drop some updates. The link is https://photos.app.goo.gl/27Wbzppcw5eqJtfU8 There is always the Instagram account that can be accessed via a link somewhere on this page. It…
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…
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…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
