Forecast Snow more snow.<\/p>\n

\"A

A snow day in Ireland. Looks like here<\/p><\/div>\n

I expect it I live in northern Alberta. Tomorrow night another four inches of snow. The big melt had started here driveway is muddy the five feet of snow was down to a foot. A few more days and the polar bears would have migrated north. Kidding no polar bears here. Just a single black bear that wanders through every spring and then moves on.<\/p>\n

The great thing about having this blog is I can check back and look the my progress and weather over the last year. The bad thing is I can look at my progress or lack of over the last year. It is a year later and all I have accomplished is getting a few things welded on my trailer. No walls  , no flooring. Today I get a call from my welder he wants to pick up the trailer  to start welding the new frame design. Unfortunately the driveway is too soft to support a truck and the trailer is still buried in too much snow. It will have to wait.<\/p>\n

I have renewed enthusiasm for the project in spite of the day I had yesterday. I had problems with Rev can freezing my bank accounts, two girls dumped me on the same day. I was  not in a physical relationship with either, don’t get me wrong. I am a one woman man. These were two potentials. That has to be a record.<\/p>\n

My supplier is demanding a payment which I can’t supply due to my frozen bank accounts. My car insurance is about to be revoked again to the accounts. Power is out generator is in.<\/p>\n

Internet and phone bills are due. Yet here I am wanting to get going on a project I can not afford to do or not do.<\/p>\n

And then the I see the forecast for more snow. No problem the weather will change, my finances will change one way or the other. I will find a way to get this tiny house built.\"44\"<\/p>\n

The whole reason for doing this is to conserve resources monetary and other. As for the girlfriend, if I find one that wants to live in a tiny house with seven cats and two dogs, I will know she is a keeper.<\/p>\n

Thats where I am at today. Waiting patiently while having a quiet trust that things will get better.<\/p>\n

“the ABSENCE OF ALTERNATIVES CLEARS THE MIND”<\/p>\n

I can’t stop the government or the weather, but I can keep my attitude good and carry on. Today I have food my animals have food. And I have a way to get this blog out. What else does a man need?<\/p>\n
