We had to run over the river and through the woods to the delightful burg of Libby, Montana yesterday to pick up a few things. Now, Libby isn't a foreign town to me at all, I first traveled there as a

This weekend my four months of non stop chaos and hard word caught up with me, so I had to do the unthinkable and rest. I even engaged in the more unthinkable and took two, three hour naps, two days in

Ooh, the triple S strikes the title crafting! I likes! It's been a very busy past three days here in the woods. The Battle Of Thistle Heights has wrapped up, with our side making great gains in the conflict.

Well, after a ten day settling in and putting our fires melee, we finally got a day off! So of course I baked something, I mean, it is me. Every other night or so, I have been hiking or ATVing out to the

Yesterday, the boy finished his last day of class as a high school student. Just wow. I spent most of the day rambling around, collecting party goods for his celebration a week from today, weed-eating

Whew, the last week has been even more than a banger than usual. I mean, it's not every week that I spend two nights sleeping in a chair and do a celebration of life landscaping melee, stay in a river

Welp, I made it home from Idaho Youth Shotgun State and a visit to Grandma’s. I then spent 24 hours mowing, doing laundry, completing various chores, attending the boy’s scholarship award ceremony, packing,

As I lay here in my cozy little room on the banks of the Columbia River, I find myself reflecting over the events of the past five days. Since I am typing this on my phone, I’m going to leave the in-depth
