Our version of retirement: Living a childhood dream

Got a little YouTube vid here of a local celeb, of who lives a rather pristine life.
Aaron Fletcher, I believe is his name.
A roaming sheep shepherd of southern Oregon.

Anyway, he got caught in the thick of wunna our fires near a couple towns that are no more

There's a bit of rough language, but I do believe it's warranted in his situation

Here's the vid;

Here's some more local news stuff from a few years back, on what we have come to calling The Shepard Guy

I've entertained the thought of inviting him to our camp, stay a few days, let his sheep graze down the meadow
Maybe we could share our unique knowledge

My lady doesn't think that's too good of an idea

Moving day(s)
.
Heh, it's 4:30 am here and I'm up

Too much coffee yesterday......waaay too much

Lots to do.

Oh, one thing about the cabin place;
Was gonna use it as a retreat
But
Our son wants to buy it real bad.

So, we're selling it to him

He's getting a bargain ($20K less than what we've been offered)....and I feel real good about that.
His little girls will have a ball out there.

When they visited a few weeks ago, the girls really got tickled over seeing the squirrels jump from tree limb to tree limb, making their way across the place about 30 feet off the ground.

Yes, I feel really good about that.

Reeeeal good.

Now, if my back would unkink, that'd be good too

Worn completely out
Bent...at 45°
Moved stuff for the last two days
Now?
I can't move me

Heh, our realtor asked who was gonna move us
Wife and I looked at each other, then pointed to each other

But, I'll tell ya, this movin' gig aint' for the weak

How in hell did we accumulate so much crap, and have it all in to two tiny cabins and a shop?

Y'know, when doing arduous tasks, day long ones,
like chopping wood, one must take breaks, I don't care how old or young you are

But, moving?
A truck is involved
Getting in and outa that truck
Putting big, ungainly things in that truck
...only to drive 50 mi to take it all back out

We took breaks
I don't know how good that was, because when we finally got outa those chairs,
we had to slowly ratchet ourselves back to Homo erectus

My poor lady
Seein' her on the other end of that table saw.....grim determination etched on her lovely face
And the bed...whoa
Like wrestling a wiggly anaconda that'd somehow morph into a rigid billboard from time to time
(she's out, on that bed, as I type)

I'm gonna join her as soon as this scotch kicks in
 
As me old pappy would tell me, "Gettin old ain't for sissies."

When aches get too bad here,, we spray each other's backs with Stoppain or one of the other spray on pain relievers.
Get wicked delight out of hearing ,,"Aww,, that's cold!" Minutes later hear,, "Now its burning."

Cannot imagine trying to move all our "stuff" we've thought we couldn't live with out.

Thank you, cabin pard

Heh, when we first saw the place, I thought the back yard was connected to a golf course

Turns out, it's a cemetery
Talk about slow play....

Maybe our next move will be shorter in distance......much much shorter

Ready to crawl over there now, if it wasn't for that damn chain link fence

Gonna rest tomorrow
Gonna open all the bedroom windows in a moment and sprawl
Should be droolin' a river in a few secs
