June 11 weekend

 A little video of the morning...

2021 Winter Camp

 Well it's that time again, winter camp!!! Once again, it's a solo weekend, just me and the mutts. Missing Abbie but she is with Maria. Tried to go walking this morning and Hunter had problems and so I took Hank and him back to the cabin. 

6AM fire to warm the cabin up. At 9am it's so warm we are stripping down to a t-shirt.

Walking around the block scenery today. 

Back of the cabin in the trees.

HAHAHAHAHA Tempus Fugit ........

 

What a year...... Forever locked on March 2020, this calendar will go upstairs as a reminder. 

Things that happened this year:

1. Government banned use of second homes ( this one) due to fake misleading "virus" threats

2. Replaced roof- no more leaks

3. Almost completely insulated

Cabin is locked up for winter, due to other plans probably not getting up much this winter.

Where does the time go?

We are still here, took a nap from the blog but recently awoke.....

Maria planted wildflowers this Spring.

Spring 2015

Well more time has passed, sure goes quick. Winter was cold, snowy but not like 2013-14.

We camped a couple of times but nothing really to show off.

Work started again, we have paint going on outside and finishing the porch.

We moved the kitchen and that caused a few backup and fix events as power and such needed to be re-arranged. Will be better in the end with more living space.

 Winter stuffed crust pizza.....

 April Bonfire

 April swim, Hank rolled and stunk bad.

Painting as soon as it was warm enough. Spent Saturday working on wall. Now need ladders for rest of wall.

LOL- HAHAHAHA the year that wasn't.

Wow, last post was Dec. 2013????!!!!!!! Where did the time go?
Things were really getting tight last year and maybe a little depression/frustration was setting in. That has been alleviated back in February but the weather was so poor we did little visiting up here. Then Spring popped up and it was very rainy/cold.

Summer- Weather was beautiful, cooler temps, not too hot. Lots of mosquitoes.  Lost father-in-law and that was June/July. Good thing we had the place to stay.

What happened at the cabin?
Well we finished the first three sides of siding.  We worked on bathroom flooring and repaired damage to the plumbing from the winter. Yes our brand new faucet broke during the winter, apparently the ceramic insert froze in the freaking cold weather during winter. And no they do not sell a replacement, actually was told to buy a new faucet. GRRRRR  And yes we drained the lines, it is designed to drain outdoors.

Now in September we are working on the front porch. Plan is to get the porch screened in next year. Hank bit a small dog and the cost to us was my funds for stuff, thanks Hank.......

We have many small projects to complete, 3 sheets of 2 inch foam insulation to install and we need to wrap the back wall.

I'll get some pics up next post.

Dec. 14-15 Dead of winter already???

Just a note after not having been up for 4-5 weeks we made the trip. Cold Cold Cold. Temp inside was 20 degrees and we worked to get it warm all day. Running the kerosene heater really holds the temps up to the livable stage, especially at night.

Didn't do anything but jell by the fire and eat. We were all tired and called it  a night at 8pm so got a good nights sleep.

Snowed about 2-4 inches while we were up. REALLY need to fix the 4X4 on truck, roads are not super clear on weekends.

Winter really has  been super cold, started in November with single digits. Not sure how much we will do this winter if temps keep staying so low.

And yes winter doesn't officially begin till the 21st, according to Ben.
