Saturday, December 21, 2019 I hadn’t done anything with the Mountaineers since the North Fork Sauk River hike in June. I wanted nothing more to do with the group, even to the point of deleting their emails, unread, as soon as they hit my inbox. However, in December, I received…

Monday, December 23, 2019 I met Nathan out at River Song at 10:00 a.m. It had been a hard morning for me. Yesterday’s work really wore me out, making it difficult to sleep. I’d been really grumpy when I got up and yelled at my cat, Pepper Dog, to quit…

Sunday, December 22, 2019 For the past couple of weeks, we’ve pretty much had non-stop rain, including a record rainfall on Friday. It had finally stopped raining Saturday afternoon, and I took the opportunity to head out to River Song on Sunday. I didn’t really fell like it because I…

Sunday, December 8, 2019 I was pretty bored today. The weather wasn’t that great: damp, not warm, damp, gray, and just plain damp. I didn’t feel like heading out to River Song; I didn’t feel like doing much of anything, really. After spending the morning measuring my dinette and researching…

Sunday, December 15, 2019 I got a text from FH Friday afternoon. The Eddyline factory up north in Burlington was having a huge clearance sale in preparation for moving to a larger space. For one day only, prices were slashed as much at 70 percent. We’ve both had our eyes…

Thursday, December 12, 2019 I’m not much of a table-using kind of person. My trailer came with a little four-person dinette, placed beneath a beautiful picture window. The window floods the trailer with light in the morning. It’s an incredible place to sit and relax in the morning before heading…

Monday, December 9, 2019 I’ve been using an electric space heater as my primary heat source since moving into my little trailer last March. I do have propane, but using a propane furnace makes me a little uncomfortable. In fact, using propane anything makes me a little nervous. I only…

Saturday, December 7, 2019 I had wanted to spend the day at River Song, but spent the day dealing with plumbing issues, instead. Plus, it had rained pretty hard off and on throughout the day. Not really the best weather for dealing with mossy, fungal-infested deadfall. However, I had to…

Sunday, December 1, 2019 After I returned from my conference last week, I went ahead and emptied my black water tank. The tank contents and a Commando pod had had almost a week to ferment. According to the instructions on the Commando packet, the chemical should clean a tank in…

Saturday, November 30, 2019 It was a beautiful, but cold, day today. FH and I had planned to go camping, but I chickened out. The temps are well below freezing, and the pipes in my tiny home almost froze last night. It was also really foggy. I really wasn’t prepared…
