March and April


If you have not visited my friend’s blog from the high desert, the new link is.

One day I was reading a CNN ‘Analysis ’ article, I read every one I come across. It mentioned that someone was wearing a, ‘Make Lying Wrong Again’ hat at a protest. I ordered a sticker and will put it near the, Make America Think Again sticker on the Nash.

I spent time with two friends I met in the NM state parks when we all spent winters in them. Met one first, probably 2007 or ’8. The other a couple years later. Over the years we crossed paths in the parks and caught up on our lives. It was nice, seeing friends we have not seen in a year. Now these friends live in an same RV park south of Silver City. A park I like and spent a winter there during covid and another when one of the two NMSPs I stay in was closed for renovations.

I just spent a month looking for a few acres, zoned unrestricted, near Silver City. Worked with two realtors and searched for property on land.com. Once again, didn’t find anything that would work for me. After three trips to this area over the years specially to look for property, and finding none, I think the gods are telling me to look elsewhere. Think I’ll listen. Next winter I’ll start researching other areas. Don’t have any idea of where.

Off to Timberon on tomorrow. Back to having cell phone coverage and internet access only one day every three weeks when I do a town run down to Alamogordo. Guano.

Many of us gotten to the end of a book and the author leaves us with a cliffhanger. I generally have what some refer to as some, choice words, for the author.

Did not find property in Silver and I certainly did not buy a house, but I willingly ended up spending $60,000.

The ball is in your court. Pick it up and move with it.

It is not lack of willpower that holds one back,
It is lack of wantpower that holds one back.

I generally follow the geese south. Now I’m thinking of following the hummingbirds. They left the last week in August. I had to, at least, dig out Wright’s book and the Delorme atlases. Planned a tentative route to New Mexico for whenever this job is over. Went through three 25 pound bags of sugar this summer with the hummingbirds. A handful of birds stuck around for the first two weeks of September but finally left. Sure hope they still found flowers along the way. There have been some transients coming through but I’ve taken most of the feeders down, given them a good scrubbing with bleach, and stored them away for next summer. Guess I’ll try it here one more summer. It’s been pretty slow here since the forest fire. If the weekly take gets any lower, AL&L will probably tell me to wrap things up here. Oh well, so much for working until October 15. Finally hooked up the 50 watt solar panel. Works great. Way more power than I use. Before I head south, I’ll install it up on the roof ...

I’m sure I’ve mentioned somewhere on these pages that I like park model trailers. If I ever regress to wanting a house, this is the route I would go. Park models are built on a trailer chassis, registered as RVs, and are limited to 400 sq. ft. They can be moved from time to time but they are designed to be used, pretty much, in one spot. The photo is of their Wedge model. This site also has some pretty cool units: http://smallhousebliss.com/category/small-prefab-and-modular-houses/ I was reading ‘World Ark,’ the Heifer International magazine, and there was an article about a small village in Nepal. The women make two 3-hour hikes each day, to haul water for their families and animals. There is a 5,000’ elevation difference from down where the water is, back up to the mountaintop village. Unreal. And forget about holidays and sick days. I’ve heard of similar stories—but 5,000’! I bet the husbands in this village never piss-off their wives. Theresa and David ...

old life, old books and raccoons

This is an unused photo from my eight years of off grid hard-wall camping. Sure had quite a few wonderful experiences from those years. I think M&M and I were camped an hour or so east of Silver City, NM, for this photo. Well, I downloaded the next book in the L. Ron Hubbard’s Earth series, ‘Black Genises. $7 for the ebook. Got home and went to open it. The ebook is locked by DRM. Guano. My converter program could not format it into a readable format. Again, guano. It would be nice to inform a buyer before hand if it is locked by DRM. Not the first time this has happened. Looks like I’ll have to get the paperback, $29. For a 30 year old sci-fi novel?! Eight more to go. I’ll order the book when I get back to Timberon, so I have a place to receive packages. Remember these books from Stieg Larsson? I checked out, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, when my library in SLC acquired some. I was in Lisbeth Salander’s corner pretty much from the start. Read the second book, but never...
