It is convenient and inconvenient that I am on a wind hold at the moment. Convenient in that it is the end of the month and I need to get a post uploaded and inconvenient in that I still have a lot of work to do before the real wet fall weather settles in. Every …
I have some new neighbors up here. They bought 20 acres with a little one room cabin a couple of properties closer to the main road then mine. They have high hopes of building a nice Log cabin soon and being able to stay for all but the worst of winter. This summer has been …
Building season is here!!! Time to move past the travel fluff pieces and put my back into it. It was a long time coming. I got back to town in early March and immediately hiked a mile through the snow to see how my little slice of heaven held up through the winter. I reviewed …
This is part 2 of my Winter 2022/23 travel review. The European side. My travel itinerary was decided by my Frequent Flyer numbers. I have been considering getting rid of my Frequent Flyer credit card for years now. The add-on fees for a ‘free Ticket”were usually in the hundreds of dollars. I was surprised when …

I have come to realize that I have about 3 months of travel in me before I get restless and want to get back to normal. I have been gone since early November and the 3 month mark has come and gone and I have lost a good bit of motivation to get out and …
I didn’t know much (nothing, to be honest) about Tours before the Flix bus dropped me off there. I figured that since I hadn’t heard much about it there wasn’t much to do. It would be the perfect place to burn the days watching youtube videos on cabin building. Well, two problems with that. When …
I wrote this in the back of a bus rolling down the highway, I’ll proofread when I am not bouncing all around…. t’s been a while since I was standing in the dark on a rainy morning waiting for my bus to Tours. I didn’t really have any reason to go there other than all …
