Stupid paint

Started painting around windows and door spaces yesterday. When using water based paint and U only have 24 hours before it might rain; don't paint. 

I will work on the stairs and railings tomorrow if the rain quits. I am not going to try any more painting until I have 48 hours of dry in the near future. 

Babies

How to handle a baby in a BOL. Going to cloth diapers and breast feeding. How many cloth diapers do we need?? Should Mom breast feed for 1 or 2 years.? These are interesting/ challenging questions. 

I will get back to work on closing in the cabin next week. I think I'm pretty well recovered from the exhaustion and heart trouble. I have to close in the high and low eves. Then caulk and prime everything, Yay. Then windows and doors, more Yay.

Most would consider getting help to be great but on this project I have had to redo a lot of things the Help Did. Good intentions little skill. This slows me down and my inability to do some things like I used too has caused me to redo many of the things I've done.

My niece had a baby boy this afternoon.

That is great. She and he are doing well. I get to take care of my Great niece for a couple days . She is seven and tons of laughs.

May all of you have a say as nice as this .

Camping time

Boots

There was a redwing boot company van out here in the Tinytown today. I went down to the truck ,I bought three pairs of boots. How many pairs of boots is a good number one we're expecting long-term goof up in the world. I now have three pairs of high quality very cold weather boots three brand-new pairs of heavy leather workboots four pairs of summerweight boots that I got back in the Desert Storm three of those pairs are brand-new and have never been worn.. I have had trouble convincing the Empress that she too needs good workboots and good rubber boots besides sneakers. How do you convince women to buy shoes they don't want?. I never thought there was such a thing as shoes they don't want. I must be an idiot.

Pain management

Working out all the problems of being bugged out is brought to my attention pain management. I suffer from something called cluster headaches. They are very debilitating and the pain is just downright amazing .They normally only occur for a couple of months of year and I have meds for them. What do you do when the meds aren't available. Normally these headaches come between the months of January and June that has been the cycle for the last 18 years before that they would happen anytime they wanted ,well with a recent heart attack issue and my exhaustion level. I have seem to have activated them again. So now I am out here dealing with these headaches and no meds. What are you going to do for your chronic conditions or even acute conditions that may occur if you do not have access to a 24 hour pharmacy.

Resting again

If anyone has ideas on how to build a really nice stone fireplace that functions also as an oven I would appreciate them I do not want a big one. I am visiting my niece is here in Wichita and I am taking a rest helping with mowing the grass in little housecleaning as she is due to have the baby on the seventh which is next Monday. I am also processing the two deer that my nephew shot last weekend. Lots of cutting bagging and grinding. I'm having a good time in when I get back I have a camp out for our local prepping group at Fall River lake. That should be interesting as I will get to meet new people. I started the group in June and it has grown to 67 people so far. I'm hoping at least half come to the camp out. We will have Emergency shelter building demonstrations and fire making demonstrations.
