Hoping your Cuzz is OK 908........

Not much to report on around these parts....Laid low during the holiday weekend......Got the Tacoma in the shop for the timing belt change...Looking at it I found I gotta pull the grille to get the radiator out...It's got a custom billet grille that I simply hate and since I gotta pull it I'm getting a new one tomorrow....Built a trellis behind my six tomato plants today and started tying them to it...It's raining now and I've got the fertilizer loaded around those tomatoes so all should be good when the sun shines....Never really did find a groove with the Crown 3....Better than the 2 but not as good as the OG Crown.....

Prayers for your cousin, Tracy.

Rain and dreary skies for the last several days have me in serious need of some sunshine. Been looking at small'ish houses to keep myself entertained...I'm seriously thinking it's about time for me to get on up outa here, and resume a life of my own. If I'm gonna dream, I may as well dream big :)

The Crown 3 is OK and I've only run .5 coils so far........The thing I really can't figure is the OG was great....the 2 a flop....Now the 3 is OK but still not as good as the OG....OG didn't leak but the 2 and 3 have different coil mounting methods....I like the slots in the 3 coils and highly prefer the top caps from the 2 or 3....The parts though don't interchange so no Frankenstein Crown is possible....My line of thinking now is a different drip tip on the 3 will likely improve flavor tremendously....or not.....The OG Kayfun had a tiny hole in the tip....Svoemesto said at the time it was to concentrate flavor to the tongue and improve flavor....It worked then and that 3 has a massive hole in the tip....

This whole tiny house thing....I know a bit about trailers and hauling....Most of these cats start with a trailer that IMO isn't up to snuff for the weight they carry.....They're also top heavy giving the house Hella advantage against the axles and tires...You wanna know what a trailer is capable of just count the lug nuts....4/5/6 or 8...My lawnmower trailer is 5 and both my larger trailers are 6 lug....More lugs = more weight....Given my situation here with Mom I've been casually eying campers....I wanna sell my house along with Mom's and head to the beach for permanent residence....I've got several choices nearby here to duck a camper and I could live just fine in one...Main advantage of a camper vs a tiny house is the camper is built to be light in most cases...I figure it best to do a little remodeling to the camper instead of a scratch start with a tiny house....mainly a real bath and not that hokey camper sheet....Heat....AC and a nice bath....That's pretty much all I need.....

Spike the killer animal that he is chased a full grown doe outta the yard last night at 3am....12 lbs vs 150....He brought a tick back and it latched onto me just about where you wouldn't ever want a tick....Life is grand I tell you....Can't wait for the itchy scratchys to set in there now......I know all about sprays and collars....Can't see how that would help the situation as the ticks are never on Spike for very long...I'm on bite #4 and Spike is on #1 for the season.....If I ever catch half a break in this action I'm gonna get a flock of chickens and let "em roam the yard during the day....It ain't gonna be this week though......

Hahahahaha!!!!! Oh no @ the tick bite situation!!!! You make me laugh so hard sometimes. :lol:

You be careful in a trailer down there with all those wicked storms y'all get.

Bov I wish you all the luck in your search for some new digs.;)

Cousin is having surgery today. Went in at noon...still no word. I hope no news is good news. Will keep you posted and thanks for all the well wishes and prayers.

Cousins surgery is over. She's in icu on a ventilator.
They did the whole shebang and got the tumor and did the colostomy in one shot. (Yay!)
They are hoping to get her off the vent tomorrow.
She still has a ways to go but we are thankful this part is behind her.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!

Healing energy for your cousin, Tracy. That's a lot of surgery, but glad to hear that part is done.

Dee, I agree with you on the "tiny house" on wheels thing. It's not what I want either, if I were to go the portable route. I found an older, small double wide (940 sq ft) on 10 acres in the area I'm planning to go...$50k! Septic and well, and out in the boonies. My income situation will take some pretty creative financing, but it's do'able. One good thing about being on SS is that I can look at small town and rural living since I don't have to worry about the job market. Fek snow, I'm going south :D

Prayers for your Cuzz's recovery 908 !!!!!

The lady who notarized the Tacoma title had 3 acres and a nice single wide trailer for 25k in Chocowinty, NC....While back I came across a screaming deal on a small house in North Eastern NC....There are some deals up that way but you spell boon with a capital B there....Still I like it there and being within spitting distance of the Outer Banks is pretty OK as well......

As I type I'm oil pulling....Mouth full of coconut oil for 20 minutes....Your mouth and teeth will thank you...Why it's called pulling IDK....It works though.....

I think the oil pulls the gunk up and out?
I should give it a try again....that's my problem, I don't stick with it long enough to notice what it's supposed to do! Lol

I hear ya Bov....that freakin rain and cold temps can kick rocks! It's got us so far behind on our yard prep I could scream!
