Free stuff! I’ve gotten a load of a pallets recently, and I hunger for more! I got 5 my first trip out, and promptly used 4 to make a compost bin, at long last. I need to find a pitchfork though! I’ve got so much straw and yard cuttings and kitchen scraps in there it’s [...]
Summer… time for grilling! I got 1 lb of awesome looking Yak meat from a Taos grazier who has a stand at the farmers market. The plan: to craft some into a burger in the style of this spicy bison burger recipe, and make more of it into some green chili breakfast sausage! Yay! I [...]
Motivated by a friend who is doing a 21-day posting challenge I thought I’d try and write more too - came over to wordpress and in the process of marking some comments as spam, I accidentally relegated all of my “good” comments to the spam bin. Which is at last count 2700 comments deep. I searched [...]
Are far too numerous! I want to build a coop out of cob, get a motorcycle running, pour a concrete slab, do some gardening, engineer some animal waterers, build a backyard patio (with a firepit!) and do some woodworking! Also I need to build a compost bin, and fix my car stereo (and the suspension [...]
Lately I’ve been on a running kick - by which I mean, reading about running. A few months back, a friend mentioned a book; Born to Run, and a program; couch to 5k. I looked into both and was surprised to see the book was about (in part) the Tarahamura people, of copper canyon mexico. [...]
I made a delicious soup tonight! It was split mung bean (dhal) which I made because in my Higher Taste cookbook they mention mung a lot, and the last time I was at the hippie co-op I saw they had mung beans in the bulk section! So, I bought some and then made this soup with [...]
I didn’t sleep very well last night because my brain was spinning at one million mph, mostly about silly things like forums and websites. This year for derby, I don’t plan on skating. But I still like being involved - so I decided I’d continue to do the photography thing, and see if I could [...]
Well, things are better since that last post! In brief, January was a tough month, because we did a lot of talking. A LOT. My thought process was basically, if we are going to make this work I’m going to bring up everything I had reservations about, just get it all out in the open [...]
Just an ordinary day
till you came around
I had my feet on the ground
so much for that
Just an ordinary day
till you came around
and now my life’s upside down
imagine that

So, Mexico didn’t happen. What did happen is that my travel partner is giving me weird vibes, and finally 2 days before we were going to leave, he [...]
Ok, so Mexico Trip is like 5% more real at this point. I’ve actually engaged the services of a petsitter, which is step one! I’m almost ready to consider booking places. I wasn’t sure if holiday travel would trump the off-season, but as far as I can tell, it’s probably going to be mostly off-season. [...]
