At a crux

Told y’all about my procrastination on the wood gathering,

there’s another dealing with Buffalo,,, I have the engine/trans in the old blazer that needs pulled, and I keep putting it off too. sort of a good reason. Its safe enough from weather right where it is, though where it is an eyesore, BUT I don’t live on the beaten path and none of my neighbors give a rats ass (one is way worse about ‘junk’,,,,)

BUT

the Da gives me 30 tons of grief over any slack I hold, like falling apart donor trucks, or an empty woodshed. (and to him, its empty if there is even on cubic foot not filled)

sigh

Not sure what the weekend holds at this stage, but there is something I want to do, not need to do, but it won’t take a whole day, let alone the whole weekend. I want to take Lyssa to the lake, load all my camp gear in her and see how she rides and handles with that mess in her holds. Not an essential project, but one that will tell me more about the boat. I know how BlueJean does under load and she is my ‘kamper’ but I would like to use Lyssa as well, since she is so damned fast (at least empty she is, it’s likely she will slow up some with more hull in the water under load.) (and those holds are resealed already. My evening projects through this current week. )

And I really DO need to get on that woodshed issue, but dangit,,, Here’s the dilemma as I see it. I have said that ‘no man is an island’ and being a solo homesteader, the work NEVER ceases, it just gets delayed. THAT is the dilemma: SOLO HOMESTEADER. After 8 years of it, I find I am more and more wanting to move away from it, back to something a little more suburban and spend the money, not the time,,,, And that dilemmas a very large ingredient of my procrastination these days.

The other option is finding a partner, and I run into the ‘want to hold a hiring interview’ for one and, well, that would fly like a lead balloon,,, Whumpf!!! No solution is easy. fast or cheap, and that falls right in line with the rest of my life, don’it? LOL

sigh

Alarm saying ‘get to the J.O.B. is beepin’ at me, more later,,, thanks for listening to this old grump whine about how unfair his choices in life are treating him. There is a solution, I just ain’t seen it yet.
