Just another cog in a machine.

Shhhh!

Sky Net is listening!

This gets sung across my house as a sort rambunctious liturgy.

Damn you!

I just spit out my coffee.

The first promised failed will be Ross.

Followed by pardoning a Biden.

I hope to be wrong.

Finally made it to our Patagonia spot after a long journey south! Arrived at 2am on a Saturday, carefully de-rigged the kayak from my truck, and crossed the high-water river in pitch darkness to reach our place.

What greeted me was wild - trees down everywhere on the property! One crashed onto our shed, but thankfully the dome stayed intact. Nature had definitely been busy while we were gone.

First week was pure manual labor - clearing brush and getting camp operational again. Used the low water days strategically to ferry across new materials and solar panels.

Major win: our dome weathered everything perfectly. No mold, no mice, all locks intact. Pretty impressive for being alone in the wilderness!

Daily life here is... different. I work my day job from the computer (turns out being on a remote island is great for productivity) Then tackle camp projects during dawn and dusk. For me it’s a perfect balance.

But here's where it got intense... One morning I discovered our Cataraft - our lifeline for materials - had broken free and was heading straight for 15km of Class 5 rapids! 😱

Talk about luck - a friend spotted it caught in trees 1km downstream. Immediately grabbed my kayak and raced to the rescue. Found it tangled in branches, still loaded with milled wood!

The dome's becoming quite the paradox - running water, electricity, comfy futon sofas right in the middle of the wilderness. From tents to a functional house in just a season. Feeling proud and grateful.

Now pivoting attention to installing new solar panels and breaking ground on 2 smaller bedroom domes for friends and family. Summer's looking epic! Can't wait to keep building and soaking in this incredible place. 🌞

That is definitely an adventure.

Glad to hear the dome was intact and the raft was recovered successfully.

Those pics pics are fantastic.

I agree.

An unfortunate sign of willful ignorance in the face of novelty and convenience.

Yes, dear.

I didn't catch the autocorrect.

Thanks for the explanation of English contractions.
