Might I suggest in addition of the cargo lift you get a zip line down. I hear some mutants like swinging (From the trees)



Barb, the son is moving to more land, more cows. He did suggest I bring my tractor, my chainsaw, my work gloves so I'm sure he wants me to come over cause he'll miss me!

I may not know where I'm going, but I know where I have been!

Oh! Wait! Earlene tells me where to go all the time. Most likely one of these days I'll listen to her.

For the same reason you tell me you don't listen to Irene.

Talk your way out of that!

Howdy Y'all!

The girls and I drove to Gilbert (east of Phoenix) yesterday to pick up some used solar panels. With their 12 days of Christmas discount I got 4 panels - 250 watts each for $37.50/panel. That’s 1,000 watts for $150! Plus $17 for gas.

If any of you are wanting solar, now is the time to do it. They ship panels also. Search for Santan Solar. Hint - Christmas Eve is another big discount day.

And what did y’all do today? I finished the 12’x20’ hoopshed that I started on Monday before the wind got testy. Just about the time I got the 19’x29’ tarp pulled across the pvc ribs a blow came up and tried lifting it off. You see, I ran out of ball bungees and no matter what Bob and I used to weigh it down was useless. I even pulled Smarty over and tied the side rail to it. It didn’t help. I finally shoved the tarp down next to the fence.

Today 50 more bungees arrived in the mail and the wind was calm, so I finished it. Now I can move all of the clutter out of Connie so we can start putting the insulation and walls up.

Great progress....
All I did was get Larry out to 2 stores.... that was major, he likes staying ay home....

This morning I got buzzed by a 4 year bald eagle, wasnt totally mature, and then our 2 resident sand cranes squawked at the girls... oh and my mangrove snappers are getting used to me feeding them at the seawall....

Tomorrow I get stitches out of my gums... had dental surgery on Dec 4th... this was the roughest one yet... had to remove one of the first implants, and it has hurt....

But other than that, nothing much...

That looks better than what you had in Laposa South last year.

Di, have you see any gators or signs of them? They are the reason I never kayaked in Florida. It's neat that you have so much wildlife there. Lily thinks that birds and lizards are for chasing. The only critter we see regularly is Jose, the black stink bug.
