My priority? Today, check out rentals. Tomorrow, (gentlemen) farm maintenance.

TS needs a bigger table; PN needs to mess around on the woodlot.

List 30 things that make you happy. And these items are in no particular order (at least as of 11:15 a.m.)… House panthers; domesticated wolves; full-tang cutlery; hovering mid-water column; polishing hardwood; October Black (spouse); chess pieces; getting into the right headspace; a singing ulu as it comes out of its sheath; mynoise.net … Aural … Continue reading

Time to activate long dormant plans…

Yes, PN has had a retirement countdown timer running since the Fall of 2022. TS is ready. PN is ready. Release the hounds! Eventually, I might compile these 100-some-odd graffiti activities into an artwork. It's how I cope with the insanity of being a high school science teacher. PN.

Deacon’s Domain (Cottage)

And now. And now, we clean up…

I had to be reminded…

…that green branches and fresh leaves play holy hell with small chippers & shredders. I blocked up the mechanism 3 times before I walked away from it in disgust (TS is more savvy than me about the unit… I end up jamming branches and stuff into the hopper… and look like Wile E. Coyote on … Continue reading I had to be reminded…

Lush, heavy rain, and cooler than our last woodlot work-session.

Today will be an indoor session at Mountain Trout Camp (MTC). I’m looking forward to finding out how MS’s wolf-pack enjoy the canine treats (test version 1 and 2). TS wanted to ensure MS received the perishable chocolate-peanut-butter-banana-upside-down cake (as it’s still in its pan). Our recently-purchased deep-cycle battery has been trickle-charging since yesterday evening … Continue reading Lush, heavy rain, and cooler than our last woodlot work-session.
