Our version of retirement: Living a childhood dream

A true cabin

Nice size logs
Interesting flooring
Rather Proenneke like

Took another load up yesterday

Good to see the snow on our little guarding mountain to the east

Tried to put things where they belong in the shop
Ended up moving things to get to other things

Did get some tools hung, though

A bit brisk, but no precip
I'll take it

On the way back to town, an oncoming car from down the hill blinked their lights several times
I slowed
Sure enough, around a blind corner, a big rock in the road

Called it in
They were on it a few minutes later
Didn't have to go back up the hill to flag traffic
 

"Home, again...home, again....jiggity-jig"!🎶

Took the day for some final shopping while in town.
Freaking spooky
Wally World has everthing cordoned off
Sneeze guards at checkouts
I wore a bandana
Used the wipies they supply to touch anything
Can't wait to be settled in the mountains

I did stop at the sporting goods store to look at guns
I need another gun like a need...well.....another gun

It's due to pick up mid April
 
Last time our for me today for a while. , I am good for the next 3 weeks and better. Picked up the new shotgun and some last minute grub and treats. Good to be home after a day on the road, seeing all those people STILL scooping the tp up....:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Found some Adam's peanut butter, dark roast crunchy , wow you weren't kidding about the price, bought two. Taste is great once you mix it up good. I will be keeping my eye out for that when it is on sale.
Muchas Gracias for the info.

It helps to store your jar of peanut butter upside down on the shelf.
 
Good to hear,

Well, we're now officially living back here at the cabin.
Big U-Haul day
I hurt
Moving furniture ain't what it used to be
Something about big beds and small rooms
😇
Still.....good to be back

Big moon tonight....and my Nikon is......somewhere

Oh well, there'll be others

Great to hear you are back in where you belong.
Snowing up here this morning and I am smiling.
The ground is just above freezing so I won't have to do anything with it.
:devilish: :devilish:

Found the cameras
Put them......somewhere

Last bit of moving
Heavy, heavy, smaller stuff....like tool boxes and rolling stock for the shop
I
have
too
much
stuff

We wore our old selves out again
Slept like an overfed dawg
My pillow could'a been a rock with moss on it
No matter, I was out the second I fell into bed

Now, to put stuff where it belongs...….
Gonna plod around today, with odd things in my hands, and a quizzical look on my mug

Not only my shop, but now my office is a total disaster
Well, it'll be fun
Great weather

Kind of a funny thing;
The lady next door, in town, asked if we were moving
I've had a rather large U-Haul truck at the front of our bungalow for two days
Lugging stuff up the ramp

Told her her forensic skills were impeccable

She also asked if I had an allen wrench
I've learned, the last few months, that this was a leading question....followed by a request to fix something of hers

I didn't answer
Just turned toward her, bent back and all, and stared

ol me.jpg



She went away
 
Settling in for the evening
Tomorrow, I get the Nikon out

But, for now, just the phone

Rather mild at 10p

Good to be home tonight

Heard some disturbing news from a friend down the path

Lost a neighbor
Some sorta dust up in town
City officers approached him
He took off
Spikes on the road a bit outa town slowed him down
He turned his AK 47 type rifle on some Staters
Fired some rounds
They took him out in short order
That was last Friday
Saw his folks drive by on the logging road today
Yet to talk to 'em
Doubt I will
He liked to cook up meth for his vocation
Even though he kept to himself, I'm not unhappy he's gone

Like you, I rather not have any of those around
Looking homelike I see.
