Oct 22 Snow More

Cold is merciless. It shows you where you are. What you are. Wim Hof It’s here. Winter. I spent a very difficult day yesterday after I spent an hour grinding rusty cat pee from the top of the wood stove. I have a boy cat that just loves to pee on the stove when its…


Oct 20 Add Numerous Exploited Expletives

Once more, I move my personal measure for pain higher. I wrangled stove-pipe, heavy laundry, even heavier bottles of water. Then it was suggested I use a cardboard box to haul out my groceries. My groceries were super heavy. I walked my laundry tub through deep grass, under branches and upstairs to the back deck….


Oct 19 Snow Fire

We climb up the chimney. We ain’t ducking no smoke. Ja Morant The snow and cold are arriving with a vengeance. In two days, 10 cm and minus 14 and that is staying. I have no heat ready. The woodstove chimney needs repair. That means going on the roof. Oh yeah, 44 km gusts happening…


Oct 18 Starfield After Working

If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?

Oct 17 Fog or Smoke?

The solar panel weather is frightful. I am not sure if that is smoke or fog. Rain has stopped my outdoor activities. As has the fog or smoke. Maybe more will get done tomorrow. GettingĀ concerned snow is forecast for next week. Today’s Bond.


Oct 16 Chinese Heater

Oct 15 Sunday

Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week. Joseph Addison It is Sunday. Cats were attended to twice. My dying cat is still kicking and still eating, which surprises me. I spent the day on my second play through of Starfield. I made level 13. I found the two guns I liked using on…


Oct 14 2023 To the Stars

I’m a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds. Mike Tyson I just finished a my first run through of Starfield. It was quite the experience. Earlier I went to the village to pick up water and a few…


Friday The 13th

I have written about the terrible things that happened on Friday the 13th when I was a small boy many times. If you are interested to find them in the other Friday the 13th posts. They say it was the day that many Knights Templar met their fate due to a jealous religion. They say…


Oct 12 My Friend

The only way to have a friend is to be one. Ralph Waldo Emerson Another day passes. My dying cat hangs in. I have to carry her to the litter box and wait. I didn’t one time. For about 4 minutes, she was trapped beside the litter box and wall. Her back legs do not…
