( yes, that’s just a section of The Porch™ )
I will be in and out for the next couple weeks and blogging will most certainly be light or non-existent other than a trip to the library or other wi-fi locales in my vacating environs…
I assure you that it hurts me MORE but until we get a sense of utility costs at The Asylum we are going to have to do some investigating and figuring out how we are going to get me hooked up there. The regular options are pretty limited to a satellite provider and the expense of THAT is out of the question for us at the moment…
We’ll figure out something… but in the meantime….I have to get the living quarters taken care of first…then the nesting birds in the eaves….and all that goes with a poor house that went neglected and unfinished for a few years. It’s coming along splendidly thanks to much of your help and now it’s a matter of time to implement/repair/install etc…
And enJOY the fact that it’s really ours.

Long Beach is such a neat place.
Oh, Deer. =)
So no phone to get DSL or even dial up? Yikes.
Is there a home or business within line of sight that you might set a wireless link with? There’s some neat new tech for that over good distances. I still don’t have enthusiasm for consumer satellite yet, way too expensive and unreliable.
How’s the 4G phone coverage out there? I can use my phone as a hotspot or tether it to the computer as long as there is a signal. . .
Way beautiful but where’s the mud wrestling pit? Is that carpet on the deck?
Hey, it’s not raining…
Just lovely!
Corgis are herding dogs by DNA. The deal is, once The Asylum meets specs, train Rummy & Smurf to head out into the thicket each morning and learn to *herd* a few deer back to the
pastureyard, each morning. Git the deer used to getting a few rotten apples (…or rotten bananas; which MY deer fucking love….) until it becomes habits for dogs/deer.Why? You got “meat” on the hoof for them emergency times! Plus deerskin for jackets/gloves/breeches/Thongs and head gear. Deer horns for knife handles, bones & leavings for dog food, PLUS *reindeer* ona roof for Christmas!!!!! (…not to mention, guts for lobster/crab traps, which you can harvest using the “Asylum Dinghy Schooner”. Jist like the Kennedys……… ) Sans bootleg whiskey.
Say what? I’ve been out of the loop for a while and come back today to see this and am confused. Did you move? To where?
mech…carpet?????????????????????????? GAH!!!!!!!!! No, it’s pebbled concrete!
Gully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are you?
No, we didn’t move…we bought my dream beach house./vacation spot :)
More later….gotta pack s’more stuff and head out like a baby!
:D
Corgis are NOT herders. They’re MIGHTY STEEDS for the Fairies.
I’m good – whereabouts is your vacation spot? Is that a river I see?
I had two of those giant Corgis in my yard yesterday. Finally a bunny rabbit chased them off.
That’s the Naselle River, I believe.
I s’pose we have to bring our own chairs.
What I use away from home is a 3g MIFI device. It’s about the size of a half-Hershey bar and it makes you a wireless hotspot that can bring internet to 5 devices. I use it for the iPod and a laptop when traveling. I’m going to be using it a lot this summer…I bought an old mini-motorhome 2 hours ago and they just drove it here for me.
It’s rough and rustic…not sure if I’ll glam it up or just use it as is.
What a beautiful view Sondra. My kind of sitting place. Little by little, just oe day at a time and all of a sudden–volia’! And you will have the most endearing thoughts and all of the ‘family’ that grew with you. We’re all excited for you and who knows–maybe a Rocafella’ may send you a Scholarship for the inertube conections. ;o)
What about night critters?
Anything with glowing eyes and stuff?
I’m with you on the unforsook thing.
I’m up on the Blue Ridge Parkway for a few days of quality Harley time before Memorial Day.
Nothin’ internetty until I check into a motel in the evening and finish a butt-massaging jacuzzi and therapeutic ribs-snarfin’. Then it’s slow and on a tiny Gateway half-pint thightop with a 10″ screen and no PhotoShop.
I feel a need to mention something. Headmissy lives among Lympian and Libtard Bots! Accordingly, THE PORCH should be mindful that “speculation” as to the area where the Asylum might be located, ain`t. wise! Kapich?????
Kapisch, Colonel.
You’re right. There are certain retards who would, and probably are, as I write this, searching desperately for the location, and I have given them many hints.
It looks more like Boise, anyway. Notice there’s no “beach” in any of the photos.
No idiot boxes of any kind allowed.
I’d say that porch is good for a hammock and books— speaking of books — ahem– when you porch readers aren’t reading all those enjumacation books have you ever head of or read Lee Çhild’s Reacher novels? If you have just curious what ya’ll think of them. I’m hooked.
Pebbled concrete? Very cool and easy to maintain. That will be great for beverage spills and BBQ sauce drips, Just hose it off under our chairs and we can put our feet back down.
Kapisch
I am Spartacus!The Porch™ is in Mississippi
geezerette — Reacher!!!!!! I got hooked too. What fun!! Gotta start at the beginning, tho and head on thru in order. He goes into some pretty dark stuff occasionally, but I pushed on and was glad I did.
[Thank heavens for the Amazon 1¢ used books!! With 'shipping' they only cost $4 apiece and are not all that 'used'!]
*fans self* Pass the Mint Juleps, y’all.
Claire– you made my day– got the son and wife reading them to– just read 61 hours– if you haven’t do—
I think I see a good spot for a nice brick BBQ grill.
I love it. It’s the man-cave of my dreams.
Just as soon as Sean finishes high school….
Then there’s this.
^ Haw!!!
