Wow...105 degrees today...

So, now it's hot! And mornings and evenings are just awesome here in Ojo Caliente de los Palomas, Nuevo Mexico. I'm not real excited about the idea of a hot mineral bath right now but that will come later. It will feel very good when it cools a bit...

So lately, since it is pretty hard to be outside in the blazing sun during the day... I go out and do an hour or half hour of outside stuff, come in and watch the Olympics for a while, go back out and phart around some more and come back in and cool off.

In the last few days I have been experimenting a bit with alcohol stoves and making some buddy heaters, etc. I have also been messing around with my bicycle to convert it from a mountain bike to more of an around town cruiser so I use it more often....need some cable sheath before that comes together but I think it will be good for me and Dina to get a little more exercise...

I just learned how to use the Calibre program so I can download a larger variety of e-books to my computer and convert them into epub for my Nook e-reader. That will really expand my foraging for good books.

Kit is off in the high mountains of Colorado on a several day moto trip. She is visiting the places where her roots on her mother's side run pretty deep. Leadville, Cripple Creek etc.

That's about it...more as it happens, it is just happening slowly..LOL

Good travels,

  1. Glad to hear of your adventures Brian! Kyndal and I are still up in Shaver Lake to finish out the summer. We ended up not too far from Bob and cheri at a location that pulls in wi-fi pretty well. We ended up getting solar for better power and really have had a great summer this far. We look forward to running into you again soon! ~James

  2. Hi James and Kyndal, Great to hear from you two.....sounds like you are loving this life! I thought you had solar....seems like it was a GoalZero system...no?

    You have a great rest of the summer and maybe we'll see you later...are you coming this way any time soon? If not maybe next January...
    Stay well and happy,
    Bri
