Mar 29 The Wall

It’s always the small people who change things. It’s never the politicians or the big guys. I mean, who pulled down the Berlin wall? It was all the people in the streets. The specialists didn’t have a clue the day before. Luc Besson Todays work, after feeding, watering the cats and carrying out 400 pounds…


Mar 28 Back Again

Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town. George Carlin I beat the snow, it’s coming tommorrow. My freight all arrived today. Pension cheques were not sorted yet when I arrived in the village. I was being patient about that. As I was loading my freight into…


Mar 27 Start

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. Arthur Ashe I made a fire. The truth is I had to. I cleaned my room, emptied garbage cans. I had a bagful of burnables that had no place to go. Sawed wood, split wood, gassed up the gen, gathered snow. Filled the…


Mar 26 Nails, Staples & Screws. Oh My

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana I decided If I had a forgotten pizza in the cupboard. I would light a fire. No way, I already ate that. Huh!!! There it was a veggie pizza. To have a fire you need wood, but before that cats needed…


Mar 24 Slow

Even if I don’t want to slow down, I’m slowing down. Eli Wallach Today is that day. My beard is gone. Like every spring I regret cutting it. Cats fed and watered, I am about to do vitamins and breakfast. Two litterboxes done, the gen filled and started. I decided to game again today, my…


Mar 23 Not Right

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right. Abraham Lincoln Something not right inside my gut. Yesterday one side was as hard as rock now add the center. Left side still fine. My writing will be brief today….


Mar 22 Chores

We do our chores when chores are needed to be done. Ray J The morning chores are done. Cats fed and watered, fire constructed and lit, kettle on, snow gathered. My appendicitus attack or hernia, seems less today. Maybe cause I ate a bunch of honey or I got to rest. I prefered the hernia…


Mar 21 Cat Litter

I just saw a meme that works for today. Real men like cats. Great men change the litterbox. I sawed a wet 2×6 x5 foot into pieces. Then split that into kindling. I filled the kettle put it on the woodstove. I looked at the indoor temp and thought about how much wood I had…


Mar 20 My Memory Foam has Alzhiemers

Memory is deceptive because it is colored by today’s events. Albert Einstein Been to town and the village picked up some supplies. Just gathered wood from out of puddles, those are sawed up and the first fire of the day is lit. I think it is warmer outside then inside. The wood is old and…


Mar 19 Monsters

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. Friedrich Nietzsche The things that needed doing got done. Gathered firewood, fed cats, boards were sawn, kindling made, fire lit. Not sure…
