Every year as gun season approaches I get bombarded with family members and friends (who don't know how to fix anything or resources) requests to fix their stuff. I tell them I am trying to get ready for my annual deer hunting but I always end up helping. This go around it was fabricating upper radius arms and sockets on son Matt's 05 Envoy. Then finding and ordering MC parts for grand daughters husband, then raising a kitchen cabinet for a taller fridge for a church friend. I am hopeful that I have everyone caught up now so I can concentrate on my passion (deer hunting). Rant over.

I hope to retire in a year or so and with 4 kids I don’t have to worry about staying busy or saving any money

Right now we are in NM, Capitan Lincoln County. Billy the kid n such were 11 miles east of us in their time. Could not find an acre of land we could afford. Same here in these parts, seems The Kids horse dropped its apples on every acre of land in this County & all the rest around it. I owe people on 7 strings i am trying to finish. Has gotten cold most mornings in the 20's with highs in the 40's. I have to slow down on strings next year, most of my time is helping the Mrs. get around. Going to Az. next week til 3rd week of Feb.

Does returning to “The Land O’rocks” seem like a good idea?

Does returning to “The Land O’rocks” seem like a good idea? Absolutely not, now Ar. is a diff story. I like it much better. We ran out of propane last nite at 1:14 am, so i opened up our skoolie to go get the other 20 lb bottle of propane. Its snowing about 3" on the ground. Its still snowing & 10-12" on the ground. Collapsed our quick-set clam with that snow load. I am going to drain our water tank in trailer, so it won't freeze & break. I have another 20 lb bottle of propane, the snow is so deep at our camp we can not get out! Temps for past couple days down around 20 degrees, going to 15 in the morning. |
