Did It Anyway

Well, The Yankees can argue about weather this was
FREEZING COLD
or not.
The Fuzz says it was cold enough for him.

But he did ride that bike into work this morning.
It was a bit chilly, but what else could one expect for a January Morning!
And it was good to get back on the road.

Some More Spring

Some more Spring!

Whilst The Fuzz was making his rounds today, he found these Daffy Dillies. One more sign that Spring is not far away. Of course we still have to see how things work out with that Groundhog. But this looks good.
And just so you know how things are going here, we have a look at Our Fuzz's Shed Project.The rafters are up. The next thing will be the roof. Maybe it won't be much longer for that. He really needs to get this thing dried in.
If it's not too FREEZING COLD, he may get the Motorcycle out tomorrow for the ride to work.

First One

The Fuzz was out getting up a bit of dry firewood this morning. Even though the weather is quite warm today (59.7 F as this is written) The Fuzz knows this will not last.
He cut up a long dead cherry tree*, and on his way back across the coulee, he found this bright little hint of spring. Still no snow here though. It would be nice to see it at least one time this year.


* It smells so good when it burns!

Gloomy Days

Well, the weather has been pretty gloomy around here as of late. The Fuzz got out this morning and cut up some of that wood that had been left under the power lines. The Young Daughter* helped load it onto the trailer for the ride back to our woodpile. Of course this stuff is mostly green wood, and needs to be split. A lot of it is poplar, not the best firewood, but one should not let it go to waste.
The Fuzz did get an opportunity to remove that shard of metal from his tire. He was ready to plug it. But there doesn't seem to be much of a leak there. He'll just have to wait to see how that all pans out in the end. It's kinda cold and wet to ride right now anyway.Here's a look at how our homesteading out here in the woods is going lately. The Fuzz hopes to have that shed together one of these days. Tomorrow, it's back to the old grind.

*Not so young anymore

Still Tired

The Fuzz was having a bit of trouble with a lack of air in his Motorcycle tire. Somehow he made it home the other day. But this is a problem that needed to be addressed. We seem to be having issues with tires lately.
Well, Friday, The Fuzz was home from work. It was previously mentioned that our "Trusty Tire Pump" had died.
It was also mentioned that this had been replaced. At the right, one may view the replacement.
Using this fine piece of equipment, The Fuzz was able to locate the source of the problem, seen above. Next he will attempt to eliminate this source of trouble. We will keep you all informed of how things turn out.

Re Mystery Pix

Wow. Vi got that one quick. Just to set the record straight, here's a look at what That Tricky Fuzz photoshopped out. He thought it would be too much of a give away. But some people can see though his little tricks.

Yet Another Freakin' Mystery Pix

It may be thought that The Fuzz did not post yesterday to make some sort of a statement, or something.
Actually, he was just lazy.

But here is a Brand New Mystery Pix
for everyone's enjoyment.

Tiring Morning

Here is the culprit. The Fuzz noticed a problem with one of the tires on our fine little motor vehicle. He was hoping a little action with the tire pump might fix things. But by the next morning it was obvious that this was not a permanent solution. This became even more obvious the next morning when our trusty tire pump* died. At this point, there was nothing for it, but to break out the spare, and hope it had some air in it.
Fortunately, it was OK. So while The Fuzz's Sweetie was occupied elsewhere, Our Fuzz stopped in at the local Tire Place. Since it was a holiday, things were pretty slow. But the Excellent Tire Technician found this little beauty embedded in the tread. (We have included this view with coin for scale.) We are pleased to say, that the skilled technicians were able to repair the damage, and now The Fuzz and Co. are back on the road.


*This has since been seriously replaced.

Last Chance To Get One

If you didn't get it, you still can!

But you gotta Hurry!

They Got Us Again

One thing that was (still is) nice about our Home in the Woods, was that we were back a ways from the road. Granted, it is only a dead end dirt road, but The Fuzz still likes having a few trees between it and the trailer.
The Power Co got us like this when we lived near town*. And now, they got us again.
Here's a look at our new road frontage.
Fortunately, there were plenty of trees left. But there was nothing left for it, but to start working these ones up for firewood.

*It was a bit of a bummer.

Good Luck and Good Grub

You may remember in our last post, The Fuzz was finally making an attempt to "upgrade" to a slightly less obsolete version of this Mac's OS.
It went pretty well, more or less. He spent a lot of time making back-ups of stuff. In the end it turned out that this was not really necessary. But then, The Fuzz knows that one can never trust a computer, even a Mac.
There did turn out to be a slight compli- cation with printer drivers though. But we are happy to report that this has been resolved now. (The Fuzz has no idea exactly how this happened)
So, getting back to real life, The Fuzz thought you all might like a look at our Collards.
The great thing about Collards is that, at least around here, you can grow them in the winter.
And so-
Here's a look
At this tasty treat
All fixed up
And ready to eat!

A Fateful Day

Well, it's been a while since any one's heard from The Fuzz. He's been busy- and lazy when not busy!
He does have today off from work. And so, he will attempt an upgrade to this old mac. He is hoping to move to a slightly less obsolete OS. We're not sure how this is going to work out. He has put this off, time and time again. Let's face it. He's just chicken.
So, if no one hears from The Fuzz again for a while, it could mean that this has gone all wrong. Or then, he might just be being Lazy.But before he takes this fateful step, Our Fuzz would like to give y'all one more update on his big project.
This will be an open area, under the roof. There will also be a loft accessible from the inside. We need all the space we can get.
