“street walker”? Hardly … right now it’s not red enough .. it’s 45 below and I need all the warmth I can get.

Cheers

"Clearly the color of a street walker..." Thanks for the pic of it--not what I expected, but it's cute :-) Hope you're staying warm.

As for my shoes, well, unfortunately, it's when the van breaks down that I would rather someone else walk in my shoes. :) So far, lately, it's been going great! Now I have an engine block heater in it, I should be able to get it started a little easier over in the park in cold weather and get around a bit more .. provided the road is passable. By the way, I don't drink, and you don't want to be around Ron when he's on the suds - that boy's crazy. :0 Cheers Carl Hey Beth

I'm a clearcutter from way back. My last name is really Weyerhaeuser. :) The staff have the week off, which is nice, and sunday mornings. Well, every third sunday morning. Ron, I'm in town until I get my vehicles re-registered, a change of address on my license, and a block heater in the van. All 3 of which I'm just keen as mustard to deal with. :) I'll give ya a holler before long. Cheers Carl Hey Mark,

And I'm glad Ron doesn't mind being called whatever we want to call him! Your cabin is awesome. We are all jealous. And as mark says with all the clearcutting, come springtime it may be prime bear food! Keep up the REAL adventure for us. We all love it! Don't work too hard. Keep up the great posts.

You probably have a staff of 30 now at the new place. I was beginning to wonder what you were doing with all the trees you were taking - your clearcutting plan is no longer a secret.

Yes, Ron, it does look like Kennecott. I figured you'd notice. Don't tell anyone. :) Let me a good time to shout at ya, when you're not busy, and we can catch up some more if you'd like. Oh, as for the size of the cabin .. The living quarters are 14' x 16' - the porch at the back of the cabin (on the left in this image) is just a shed, attached, and not accessible from inside. I enter from the right side of this frame, that porch is about 3'-4' across, then go in a 2nd door to the living quarters. The back wall of the cabin is about where the little homemade bow is hanging on the wall. Beth, don't sweat about calling Ron "Doug". I call him all kinds of things. Sometimes when I call him, he hangs up on me, and pretends my phone lost service. :) . Beth, I'm glad you like the cabin - it's way cool, I love it. Oh, and thanks for the info on Bear Grylls - I've never heard of him. I couldn't tell you the last time I watched TV. I watched the Rugby World Cup final at a bar in Anchorage in October, that's probably it. Bear Grylls sounds like quite a winner. :) Michael, thanks for stopping by, bruh. Yeah, maybe I'll put in a bid under the name Haliburton for some overseas contacts? :) Cheers Carl Hey Folks,
