The Pithole Hermit

They make a mess.

I realized yesterday that I have been so busy I never readjusted my solar panels beside the camper from their winter position. So I moved them today. I usually put the panels over by the camper because it is on the north side of the clearing where the sun shines.

The sun never shines on the cabin because it is in the trees and on the south side. Well, during the winter with no leaves on the trees the sun does get through.

And he leaves a life behind

That the story doesn’t  always go that way you had in mind. – Jeremiah Johnson

never had a chance, because idiot people are always in a hurry to get nowhere. They all have to go as fast as they can down a dirt road.

I am building a small jonboat for my daughter’s pond.

It is just 8 feet long. Mostly plywood.
