My new crib...

So, I've been up to some big things. OK, one big thing. I bought a house. The moving is going well getting some help from family. My mother came over and helped clean the whole place. So, I plan to sleep there tomorrow night. Next weekend is MIBADAB (Move In Baldboywonder And Drink Alotta Beer). The moving should be easy, mostly large stuff, but not a ton of it. Then the official party Saturday night, which might be harder than the moving.
Needless to say I'm pretty excited about the whole thing. It's a great present to myself for the first day of spring.

The Beagle Logger


Last winter I thought it would be cool to train snoopy to bring home a stick every time we went for a walk. Ya know, free firewood. It worked well, though I doubt two sticks a day made any difference in the over all scheme of things. Though, 1lb of hardwood (of course he's not allowed to bring home pine, oak or maple only) is what, like 6000btu? So two sticks a day is 12000 btu. This time of year that is about one hour of heat. Well, I guess he's doing something!

The other day he picked out a great big one. Nice piece of maple. Cars stopped to watch him carry this thing home. I was over six feet long.... he had the neighborhood cracking up.

This weekend I extended the cold frame garden in the back. Another window pane wide. Here it is when I just started digging:


You get the idea.

What's new with you guys? Getting ready for spring? Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
