Happy New Year All!

Maybe my new home in a couple years...

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.

My old home in Seattle was a palace compared to where I’m now.

Back in 2013, when I first moved to where I live now in central/upstate NY, I played more golf, and got to know a guy that seemed to have a similar schedule to mine. We'd usually bump into each other out on the course, and join up to play together. He wasn't from the area originally either. He asked me if I moved up here for a girl or for work, and for me it was work. He said back when he moved up here, he did it for a girl, but it didn't last. Anyway, to the point of this, he told me how after that, he lived on 10 acres in a little cabin with no electricity for about 10 years. That was in the 80s and 90s. I had a ton of questions about that, and he said everyone acted like it was such a horrible situation, but he was fine and actually enjoyed it. He had a generator for when he needed it, but he hardly ever used it. He worked someplace where he could shower every day, and led a pretty simple life for those years.
As much as that sounded like a bad thing when I first heard it, it has parts that sound pretty good when thinking about it now.
Sounds a little like Richard Proenneke except no generator and in a remote part of Alaska and did it for 30 years. His self-filmed documentaries are still available and worth watching if you haven't seen them.
