My attempt to make it to my 10 acres in Terlingua Ranch and make a go of living on it. From the start it hasn't gone good at all, but I'm hopeful things will turn around!

More Old Pictures
Haven't made much progress on the cabin lately. I got all four walls insulated (except for the 16 inch center corners and will have to cut down the insulation to fit those. The sealing kicked my butt though and will take help. Ring is on his way down here and hopefully we can get most of that taken care of, but after doing a recount I find I don't have enough insulation to finish anyway. His birthday was yesterday and mine is tomorrow so there's a birthday party planned at the legion for tonight for the both of us.
Ran across some other old pictures of junk I've built so decided to post some of them.
MDR, found some old pictures of Tigger and the bike he built, but didn't post it. I sure got a lot of my old neighbors interested in bikes when I started building them.
You are one year older and hopefully wiser. Bush Cheney in 04 did not help you much; hopefully self reliance and some propane heat will give you peace. Watch out for wild women and alcohol, or at least the alcohol. At your stage in life, a wild woman could do you some good...

ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Glad you and Ring stopped by last night. Thanks for bringing Jerod out.
ReplyDeleteFirst of thanks for the birthday wishes from All,
ReplyDeleteDD its someone else's junk now.
MsB, all I can say is it was a party.
Dani, no work got done on the cabin. Too much partying. :(
Bkid, it was Black Jack and way too much of it.
rj, Obama isn't doing me any good either.
QKid, at this stage of the game I'm not sure when the cabin will get insulated.
Anon, I hate the chipmonks about as bad as I do birthdays.
Denese, I hear Jerod had a gig there tonight. He is GOOD!
Happy Birthday Ring.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, D. Jack is a good friend to celebrate with.
ReplyDeleteAndy V, Yeah provided you don't drink too much of it.
