Watch it transform from hell hole to hovel.  It's amazing what a little paint n paper will do... ok and some tiles.

Day 177

Posted 9/4/2020

Day 177: 6 more days... I wake up early, 6:30ish... The world was pretty much ending in a dream I was having so there wasn't any inspiration to toll over and go back to sleep just to finish the dream... Anyway, still having on again off again shitty weather. Fed the boy breakfast, no milk for the cereal so cream would have to do... Life it though. I had bought some eggs last night but forgot them in the car which was now in Kirkland Lake... So I kinda didn't eat breakfast. Back to milling wood... Not sure the thickness planer is going to make it through the job and I'm pondering alternatives. I trudged on, boy moved wood in and out of the house. At lunch we took a break, finished up last nights leftovers and I looked for planer parts and used planers on the internet. No luck, I went back down to finish killing the one I had. Lawson went out for a bike ride with his friend, the found a freaky mud bug and brought it home. Apparently it was rare, he was interested in keeping it because in a few days it was going to turn into a Dobson fly... I looked it up on the internet... Seems it might not turn into a fly for 1 to 3 years, lived in an environment been we couldn't really provide and ate food that is not readily available... So we took some photos and he took it back to the river. The eggs made it home. I made them into 2 very large omelettes, ham, bacon, cheese, fried onions and peppers, mushrooms... Must have been about 5 lbs each. Lol After diner Heather and I binge watched some Lucifer... Eventually she blacked out and fell to sleep... I'm still up.
