Not too long ago I took a break from posting on XP and I did that without mentioning it beforehand. That break left people wondering. I need to once again take a break from XP. I thought it best to say something this time.....just trying to keep people from wondering again. I've got some...

Ace.....my dogs have no problem with frigid temperatures. They actually prefer it. If I try to cover them with blankets they'll almost immediately get up and move to a new spot..... furbucket.....thanks..... We made one last road trip in January of 2026. We set off for yet one more trip to...

We spent another day and night wandering aimlessly along the roads which were still sometimes covered in mud, snow, and ice..... .....and sometimes not..... I again used the leap frog system by walking several miles ahead.....then several miles back. Retrieve the rig.....drive maybe 4 or...

This cabin is the last cabin on the road.....and it was here that we saw the last of the tracks on the snow covered road..... We kept on walking.....hoping to at least make it to the trailhead..... The pines were thick here.....it was interesting to see the areas where the snow barely made...

Ace.....I consider myself lucky since my neighbors have been constantly disappearing. I live at the end of a gravel road that has been here for years. Most of the homes are (were) single or double wide trailers, or old homes in disrepair. Now there's only 3 of us left as most landowners have...

Ace.....on that subject, here's a bit more ammo..... I found this abandoned water trough for the horses and thought it might make for a nice raised planter.....so I brought it home..... Where there's an abandoned water trough for the horses, you just know that there's a bunch of horse...

Ace.....welcome back. Sometimes it's nice to take a break although I'd prefer it to be my choice..... furbucket.....yep.....just chillin..... Then came December.....2025. This was the month that we planned to go south. My friend finally moved on and I loaded the camper onto the truck, hooked...

Then came November.....2025. Well, that month we just stayed home so there's very little to write about. The plan at this point in our lives was to go south in December and spend 3 or 4 months on the road so I really wanted to just hang out at the cabin and relax before hitting the road...

After wandering around town for a bit we backtracked and headed east on the interstate.....headed for home. We took an indirect route back and when we got to Drummond, Montana we left the interstate behind and drove south along Highway 1..... The autumn colors were sensational.....especially...

A week later the dogs, my friend, and I, made a trip down Interstate 90 toMissoula, Montana..... This was yet another short trip.....only 3 days away from the cabin. We spent the first night camped along the shoreline of the Clark Fork.....again, many of you might recognize this spot as I...

AlwaysRoaming.....thank you. It's especially special on a morning like we're having today. Outside it's 6 degrees, everything is covered in a thick frost, birds are at the feeders, the sky is so blue.....uninterrupted with clouds.....I've got a hot mug of coffee, a good book, and a good fire to...

The inside of the barn went from this..... .....to this.....by the way, my friend Luis came over one day to help me build that extraordinary (in my opinion) workbench..... I've done a considerable amount of landscaping too.....lots of rock gardens and lots of perrinials planted..... I...

Luis also helped me to install the washer / dryer units..... Finally on September 12, 2021 I decided to move some of my furniture into the cabin..... I didn't actually own much furniture (divorce can do that to a guy).....so I decided to make some of my own.....the base for a small...

Next added insulation to the attic and to the crawl space.....August 11, 2021..... And was able to close in that new side wall with a sliding glass door..... And after the electricity was in, started on the drywall.....probably the worst job of the entire cabin build.....August 12...

Many other aspects of construction were taking place throughout the same time frames.....installation of the sewer system.....May 17, 2021..... Connecting to the existing waterline (I hooked up to my neighbors' well.....another significant savings had).....June 12, 2021..... And the...
