Not as much as I would have liked, but little Tigger helped a bit. I slathered my body with Ouchie Fixit Stuff before crawling in the sack, then when I got relatively positioned for hopeful sleep, Tigger walked up the bed and laid down at my chin and started pummeling my beard, then he wrapped his front paws around my neck, stuck his face under my chin, and we went to sleep that way. His attention to my uneasiness helped me shove the pains aside a bit more than I normally would have been able to do. While all the little people who live with us are often underfoot and making trouble, they also are very good at making us feel better.You get any sleep last night after the tumble escapade yesterday?
Bout the same amount of time I can watch videos from climate change nitwits, unless they about global cooling of course.hi all
worked for me
but i could only handle 10 mins of it

Stressed a bit (i.e., worse, but don't tell my wife).How's the owies on your arm?
Yeah, Jimi, it could be perfectly anus, which would probably make it a real pain in the ass. But I don't know what that has to do with your poor eye... so just ignore me...that sounds so perfectly heinous
eyes still blurry as all hell still just hoping they clear up, thanks for asking my friend, takes me forever to replydoing pretty well.
Hows the eyes? Better I hope?
Make damn sure the replacement lenses are the right ones. I mean, grill that damn doctor about it. I am sure they put the wrong one in my eye, which is one of the reasons why, even with glasses, my right eye is 20/80.thinking about cataract surgery soon
I really plan on it my friend, I am not to partial to doctors, any doctors anyway, I have bad macular degeneration too,Make damn sure the replacement lenses are the right ones.

Are you doing any eye exercises for the (I assume it is "age related") MD?I really plan on it my friend, I am not to partial to doctors, any doctors anyway, I have bad macular degeneration too,
Hi, Dale. Hi temp here today was 32 with light snow all day long. I think accumulation was only about 4-inches. Heard the folks to the south of us really got nailed bad, however. It is usually exactly opposite. Oh well... still had to shovel the porches and make a path to the garage and around the house in the dog yard so we didn't have to wear boots to go outside (none of which helped my arm, but don't tell Lannie).Evening Rich....et al.....hope everyone had a decent day.....was a little chilly here...mid 60's, but sunny.
Have another storm heading this way too....with colder temps again.Hi, Dale. Hi temp here today was 32 with light snow all day long. I think accumulation was only about 4-inches.

Just out of curiosity, I was looking at online realtor listings for "Prescott area" (i.e., not in town) and they seem to be running $25,000 for a bare lot or a few acres with no house, but if you want a house and a few outbuildings, it is $270,000 to $1,000,000. Excuse me, but that's quite a ways out of my price range.Friend of mine from Canada is in town, said he's trying to find some land toward Prescott, what a coincidence.
My friend Mark didn't go through a used house salesman, he bought directly from the seller who had a sign at the end of the driveway. That saved 6% right off the bat.Just out of curiosity, I was looking at online realtor listings for "Prescott area" (i.e., not in town) and they seem to be running $25,000 for a bare lot or a few acres with no house, but if you want a house and a few outbuildings, it is $270,000 to $1,000,000.

Sedona is over-priced because it is a tourist mecca that preys on everyone. But if you find something in the Prescott area for only a buck ninety eight, I'll take it.I may take a drive up there tomorrow to see my buddy who bought that chunk of land really cheap I mentioned a few days ago. I'd like to see the exact location, and what a person can actually buy, for how much money. Seems hard to believe the prices are so much less than other locations near Prescott...like Sedona, etc.

I was thinking of the exact same thing, Juice. Or just plain old Adobe.Have you considered something like an earth bag house? Would be amazing in that landscape and its inexpensive
That type of construction is really catching on, here in Arizona anyway. Like you said, their "dirt" cheap, and can be made into an amazing house, with incredible thermal resistance.Have you considered something like an earth bag house? Would be amazing in that landscape and its inexpensive
Most of the area around Prescott is national forest (huge pines) and my preference would be a small house with cow barn and workshop and some grass snugged up against those trees. But I am almost 70 with a great number of physical issues. I want nothing that is going to require any special work on my part other than helping Lannie with the critters. I do not want to have to build or do any repairs other than minor ones. This implies the house will already be built (stick house or double-wide mobile) -- I doubt the cowboys in Prescott would already have made any bag houses.Have you considered something like an earth bag house?

Great minds think alike.....It even crossed my mind as a replacement for the existing house - if I can't get the dome I want permitted in Hawaii, we are gonna go for that concept instead; easier to permit
There isn't many pine trees outside of Prescott, which is where I meant. If your 15-20 miles from Prescott, I don't think you can even see a Pine.Most of the area around Prescott is national forest (huge pines) and my preference would be a small house with cow barn and workshop and some grass snugged up against those trees.

I wouldn't mind a Hobbit house, if it had about 2000 square feet........
Did someone log that place bare? The national forest running along the Prescott ridgeline was one of the larger Ponderosa forests in this country.There isn't many pine trees outside of Prescott, which is where I meant. If your 15-20 miles from Prescott, I don't think you can even see a Pine.
Indeed, many many advantages. I would think they could withstand an earthquake quite well too.I think they are worthy of consideration even if cost is not an issue - they have a lot of advantages and super resilient

Remember the fire a few years ago? Not much left of Ponderosas outside of town.Did someone log that place bare? The national forest running along the Prescott ridgeline was one of the larger Ponderosa forests in this country.
