You have a chain saw? Might need to cut some trees to move your car. Beer is good. More beer is better. Been good. Cool summer with bad gardens again. Almost have a tomato. Replaced my water system, got electric fences up around the garden and orchard, repaired the fences. I need horse manure. Used to get lots when I was working. Best I can do now is get used soil from marijuana growers, for potatoes and as mulch. For some reason, I joined the Grange. Spent last Sunday washing dishes at the "Grange Breakfast". What have I done? People seem to think the Grange will be the key to "sustainable Laytonville". Is it wise to base your hopes on a building (several miles from the main part of town) which is being held up only by the 3 colonies of bees living in the walls, and which will cost $100K to replace, when you only have 4K, and make maybe $400 a month on breakfasts? Oy. The alternative is to forget that building, in which case the land will revert to the state Grange, and prolly be useless forever. Chances are it would become a giant blackberry tangle. Spent half of Sat. cutting blackberries; I think we cut 6 pick-ups full. :>)

PS I'm trying to get her to bounce off of Virginia, go out to sea, bounce off of NJ, and then go back to sea. If I fail, ROCKMAN on August 26, 2011 - 11:03am gone through many hurricanes an additional bit of advice: keep a good supply of toilet paper. Sittting in the dark or eating a can of cold beans is one thing. But not being able to....well, you get the idea. And if you've never "pottied in the wild" before a hint: pull the back of your shirt up. Many geologists learned that leason the hard way. Good luck my Yankee cousins. And don't turn your back on Mother Earth. To her we're just one collection of carbon atoms...no better or worse than the dodo. == Remeber, even tho Toilets can be flushed when necessary with buckets of water, which you can either store in your bathtub, or catch in buckets placed under downspouts once the wind dies down enuf. If you are on a septic tank, and it's 3 feet under water, ask somebody else what to do. I won't go looking for the posts, but there is a worry among Drummers abut fuel shortages; first, from everybody filling up at the same time, and then after, from possible damage to refineries, pipelines, power outages, and impassable roads.
