Progress on the front yard

 Well, I finally making progress.

                     Before

                      After

I moved everything to the back.

It looks a lot better and neat. Now, I have to figure out what to do with the front. I do have some ideas.

Tonight's dinner was Chicken and veggies with a Chinese sauce. 

I hope to have another post soon. I really need to get some exercise to makeup for the 4 weeks I took it easy after eye surgery.  Hope you enjoy. 

         Take care

New backyard

 Hello my friends, I finally got my backyard filled in and I'm loving it. 

                 Before

                    After

It's nice to have space for my vehicles. 

Now my drive way is open

Tomorrow, I will start moving this stuff to the back to open the front.

I had scrambled eggs and fake sausage. I wanted to try non meat sausage, it does not taste good.

Shared with Freddy, he ate it all.

That's it for now, I should have another post in a day or two. Hope you like today's post.

Take care

Short post

 Good evening everyone, It's  pouring rain here right now at 10:45 pm and it's 58F so, I am kinda bored and thought I would share something with you guys. I kinda been puttering around inside and got to thinking how much I miss Winter and wish it could be here tomorrow. I would prefer snow over rain and cold 🥶 over this heat. I'm bored, I mean, how much TV could one watch or how long can you be on the 🖥 without getting tired of it? If I could wake ⏰ up too 5ft. of snow ❄ tomorrow, I would be 😃 smiling. Anyone else out there wish it was Winter and get rid of this heat? I think I've said enough.  Let me know what you think or wish for. 

               Take care

Wednesday 7/14/2021

 Hi folks, sorry I haven't been online much. I haven't been feeling good lately.  I came down with food poisoning  and diarrhea. Feeling a little better. My day started out fine,, Freddy and I kinda slept in this morning 🌄 got up about 10:30, took Freddy for a walk to do his business. I made coffee. I like my French press.

Then I made a toasted everything 🥯 my favorite. I toasted it on my offgrid toaster 

These toasters work better than electric, I think. Turned out nice.

Freddy doesn't eat breakfast for some reason so I share mine with him. Afterwards I took him outside to go for a run with my 6 wheeler. I tried to get a 📷 of him running. Here we are at the start. 

Freddy is a fast runner and he has learned a few more commands from me. I want to try a video blog on here. Thanks for stopping ✋by.

What's going on?

 Hi folks, I have been busy for the past couple of weeks.  I had surgery last Wednesday on one eye and another yesterday on my other eye. What a tremendous change in my eyes. I am very happy with the success. 

 A couple of weeks ago,  I was heading into town and my whole exhaust system fell off. Luckily there is a Midas muffler right next door to the Veterans center and they replaced it while I was at my apt. Then, a week ago my truck started vibrating really bad. So, I took it to Midas and they showed me where the rear spindle was worn  down, now it runs perfect. 

 I got my back area covered with ground cloth.

This is old lumber that's been laying around a few years rotting, took it to the dump.

Some brush I filled my truck to take to the dump.

Here are a few meals me and Freddy had. Mine is bootie pasta with hot sausage, mozzarella and cheddar cheese. 

Freddy's his food with bowtie pasta, broccoli 🥦 and chicken breast straps.

Moose burger, broccoli 🥦 cauliflower topped with horseradish sauce. 

Freddy's...chicken strip, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet peppers, celery. 

I am thinking, he is eating better than me.

I forgot,  I have to wear these eye covers to keep me from rubbing my eyes when sleeping.  I also have 3 different eye drops I have to take 4 times a day. 

 

 I may some exciting news coming up so, will let you know when it happens.  Take care.

 

I just can't make up my mind

 Hi folks, I tell you getting this old is crazy, I can't figure out where to start. I have so much work here and now adding the move to N.Y. is driving me batty, lol. I'm pretty sure the move won't be this year, probably next Spring. I am thinking about keeping my properties here in Alaska so I can come back for vacations to fish and whatever else. Right now I am putting ground cover on the back property to have it filled in. I cut that short because the winds creeped up on me and the covering just blew around.

    Freddy in his usual spot waiting for the neighbors dog to come by.

                                    I got dandelions this year

                         I like the flower, it brightens my property up

                                       Do you see the Butterfly?

                        Here are flowers I bought for my window box

              Freddy enjoys his meals when I add meat and vegetables

My dinner is Battered Cod, vegetables and tarter sauce.

Yep! I started cleaning up my shop and now I can walk through it, lol. It still needs some more work.

Cutting the high grass with my new battery operated weed eater. I like it, it's quiet, light and cuts just fine with an automatic string spool.

Well, I had more photos but, for some reason, they're gone. I am having more problems with this new computer and I am going to stop using it. From now on, I am using my phone to take pictures and download them. I hope this will entertained you somewhat until I can get my "****" together. Excuse my French, lol. Take care.

Really changing things up.....FINAL DECISION

 Hi Folks, I have been giving a lot of thoughts about my life and what I am going to do about it. Over the years I have really enjoyed sharing my life and adventures and the beautiful and not so beautiful [me]out in remote Alaska. It was tons of fun. Since I moved onto the road system, I find myself changing and not as happy as I once was

 I am just not motivated as I once was and it has depressed me a lot. I am just not motivated anymore. Because of my exposure to Agent Orange, my health is affected some aspects of my life. My PTSD has increased and I have problems remembering things, tremors in my hands and balancing issues. I have been seeing two therapists one at the Veterans Center and one at the Veterans Administration for a few years and they have been a big help to me.

 They noticed a big change in me since I returned from visiting my sister, niece, nephews and their children. We discussed this in length and come to the conclusion that I miss them so much. Anyway, my sister and I have been talking at length on the phone and sometimes spent hours talking and I have decided to move closer to my sister and kids. I have already started looking for property close by. I don't want to live in a city environment so, I am looking at properties in the Adirondacks which is a 5,000,000 acre State Park in Upstate, N.Y. It has been set in N.Y. State law, this park will remain forever wild and people are allowed to own property there but, no manufacturing is allowed, only small businesses.

 The whole park has only 2 lane driving with only a 30-45 mph speed limit. You are only allowed to build structures that conform with the Wilderness setting. I am not sure I will sell both my Alaska properties or not but, I think I will sell my remote cabin or donate it to a Veterans Org. to use for disabled Vets. I will eventually sell my town cabin, I think or trade for a cabin in the Adirondacks.

 I do know that once I make this change, I positive, my health will be better and things will be more positive and I won't be lonely for sure. I really do hope you all understand and support my decision, if not, oh well. Thanks.
