Indeed we do, Solomons.

Dick, there is no DNR. I gave it angioplasty (reamed out the generator), but I think I need to look at a new heart (fuel assembly).

You can't kill a Coleman.

Hanging just fine. I will be having the largest burning of winter bonfire in history of the world. My Celtic roots run deep. :-)

Hang in there, winter isn't "quite" here yet. I often get depressed too when the daylight time begins to shrink....learning to go to bed earlier helps a bit. May have to take up skiing and/or ice skating under the lights to help get us through the dark nights.

hey I just found your blog... we hardly have to time to chat, so it was fun to read some of what you are thinking out loud. I think we all need some tuning... or fine tuning, or complete overhauling... different times, different process?!

I bought the parts. The generator was replaced first (outpatient surgery). Didn't help much. Next I am going to replace the fuel tube assembly (thoracic surgery). They're simple but this one's 40 years old and has some atherosclerosis.

Fix the light. Fix your own mantle at the same time (insurance will probably cover 80% of the cost and your family will enjoy you not being so sooty).

OK, that might be Wife 1.1, but it looks like she upgraded to Service Pack 3.

Thanks CL! That was wonderful to read! It did remind me of MP's book, 'a place of my own'. And, like Rosie, I hope to spend a night there sometime! Enjoy your Shack!!

Thanks for the shelter when I've been in Madison to teach two day courses. It is a gem.

I'd like a shack. Kind of like my own Fortress of Solitude.

I'd also like to read Michael Pollan's book "A Place of My Own" - talks about the same desire and process of creating that place.

Wow, you are psychic, and I thank you for posting all that just for me. A: I am prepared to join with you in creating a support group for those of us with many a hull in our garages + a mate who doesn't get the beauty of our collections. B: All I find are the Trolls when I look for reviews of the boat I expect to take delivery on next week. Cheers.

Coming from you that means a lot. Not bad for a point and shoot Olympus. Next year I want to bring the D200 body. It will hopefully be my spare when I get D300. Maybe.

Lovely trip report. Sounds like it was a blast, and I love your rules...all 4 of 'em.

Nice photos too.
