Believe it or not, in Vietnam could occasionally be heard: "At least it ain't Drum!"

Lol. Not much of an endorsement.

They really got hammered up that way with lake effect and thunder-snow.

Clarence Thomas' douche baggery came to the fore this week. He hasn't been reporting his rich guy junkets. We actually stayed in a yurt across from Harlan Crow's ADK property on Upper St Regis a decade and change ago. It was an isolated gorgeous place but wasn't a quiet place to hang out due to the power boats, kinda what you expect from the obscenely wealthy.

What! You don't believe ol' Clarence when he says he prefers parking his RV in Walmart parking lots?
Hang with the common folk, you know.

He's living proof scum rises to the top.

Nice enough weather this weekend.

Please look past the doggie slobber on the window.

Beautiful weekend

**Posted by griff** 5/08/2023 7:29 am

I can't imagine a nicer one. The river was so cold!

That could have been here yesterday, 3000 miles away.
Beautiful Earth.

Yeah, we should be taking better care of her.

We camped on the property for two weeks while working on the retirement cabin.

**Posted by griff** 9/16/2024 6:32 am

We set piers and waterproofed.

**Posted by griff** 9/16/2024 6:36 am

We did the sill and got to work on the frame.

Setting the main beam took some mental horsepower and some diesel horsepower, no horses were injured in this activity.

**Posted by griff** 9/16/2024 6:42 am

We completed the frame except for blockers.

We're headed back up to lay the subfloor next weekend. We helped run water and build the septic system. I received a part-time job offer in construction for retirement, so I've got that going for me.

I was impressed when you built the last house, and I'll continue to be impressed as you build this one. Keep us updated!

**Posted by glatt** 9/16/2024 8:37 am

Wow! That site looks spectacular!

**Posted by griff** 9/16/2024 3:45 pm

Thanks guys! The site is pretty amazing. We have some APA (Adirondack Park Agency) restrictions but nothing that isn't a good idea like distance from the river and responsible forestry. We faced delays due to the hurricanes and related road damage but things are under way!

That.

What she said.

All of it.

Much appreciated Bud.
Pete has described our work time as magical, it's a cool new adventure.

**Posted by glatt** 9/18/2024 9:00 am

Magical. That's awesome. You two have a purpose right now, and that's a wonderful thing.

And you have learned so much since you built the last one. 11 days is super impressive. The Styrofoam insulated forms are an amazing invention.
