I live on 23 acres of woods and pasture. From Indiana I've lived in Houston and L.A. and now back to Indiana. Not moving any more.
Currently we have 13 cats living with us.
(looks like scotty has decided he wants to live here....make that 14)
I do woodworking, metalworking, electronics, learning to farm, looking into various livestock, basically anything that will allow me to fend for myself. I don't like paying someone else to do what I can do.
I'm a millwright by trade (this incarnation) and make a living that way for now. We don't work for people that live near by because nobody around here can afford us. I was lucky enough to hook up with some one that can schmooze the really rich people.
Consequently, we make things for people all over the U.S. I'm getting too old for this. I wanna grow chickens and popcorn and luv on my cats.
And honestly, I don't know why i typed all this in here....I guess I'm trying to be a human being and play nice with the other kiddies. So I am what I am.

The garden of 2008 has proven to be very informative. Because of all the spring rain, everything got started late. This year some plants were started indoors. This proved rather futile. It would seem there are aspects of this technique that are no...

While trying to expand my gardens, there was one particular problem that started bothering me. Gardening should not be a series of back breaking tasks. As my gardens expanded, nature would take over very quickly. In order to keep up, my investment...
