****, Good to hear from you, it has been a while since that fireside chat over at ****‘s place many moons ago. The short version of my long, rambling, and mostly about me answer is: Grab something you think you like by the balls and do it. If you don’t like it you’ll know pretty […]

Yep. I like the simplicity stuff. With that said, I did just buy 2 more hand planes off a guy from Craigslist. I love fine tools. Wrote this the other day for our Paleo Treats FB page: “Had a workout the other day where I had a 1,000 reasons to be anywhere else, and only 1 reason
****, Just finished up Farm City by Novella Carpenter. A refreshing book on urban farming that didn’t have the usual holier than thou horseshit that seems to permeate the prose of every fucking new foodie writer who sticks their head up out of the lettuce (excuse me, arugula) patch. Am into books on dryland irrigation and

Ok, revisiting “where I stand” inre. the “money for manners” /“tribe of uncles” idea. Some thoughts: ‑host it on the kyk13 site. I like the name. ‑keep developing the idea and putting down only what feels totally good to us, i.e. linking to the mystance article, posting prices of $300k for 2 weeks (or whatever), writing
****, you knew this was coming. 🙂 Another idea that just wouldn’t let me sleep through the creativity of the morning hours. Between 3 and 5 am I give all credit for my work to unknown muses. Jesus I’m lucky! In short: A course for the sons of the ultra-rich teaching them the meaning of being a
Folks, Am facing significant resistance on the homefront to the idea of.…well, I’ll define it in a minute (resistance email is at the bottom.) I think of it as Shangri-La, but I also think shitting in a 5 gallon bucket for compost is totally the right thing to do. If I’m truly serious about this, I’ve

****, excellent recommendation. Just read these lines from Chatterton’s experience as a medic walking point in Vietnam. They ring true with my own limited experience. Dig it. ‑If an undertaking was easy, someone else already would have done it. ‑If you follow in another’s footsteps, you miss the problems really worth solving. ‑Excellence is born of

CR, This’ll take some time, but thanks for starting it. A short version of what I’m looking for, see if it jibes with your interests. This is for a tinkering/get the hell out of dodge/hunt & fish and hike and explore and ski kind of property, and a place to live for…a while. Maybe a summer,

Rad, glad you’re diggin’ old Dot’s stuff. I think she’s a total star. I meant to write no water “to” property, meaning I don’t need a line run in, I’ll do my own catchment or well. I don’t think holding out is a waste of time; that’s how we get what we want sometimes. Unless the deal
