update...re:nanny state..with pics now

Caren cannot sit still and chill for more than a couple of weeks...so she had to go out and find a temp gig .....as a Nanny to some well-to-do, 30-something, Fort Worth atty couple.

After Day One all seems perfect....and we hope that continues.

We had a big rain/thunderstorm event move in this evening here....kinda like something that would normally occur in May...but it's only mid March....guess we'll have 100 degree temps in May....or that's what I read online somewhere.

Still raining and distant thunder now and then at nearly 9 PM tonite.

I got home early tonite and battened down my JUNK.....put some heavy metal on the corregated tin scraps, tied off the salvaged window screens, secured the tarp over the scavenged church-bus van seats, etc. Yesterday I finished up the gutter system at the add-on Packard shack lean too roof.

Also....I've been looking at up-grade golf cart stuff for kinda biggie-sized wheels and tires....and a lift kit...to improve the cart for future Terlingua Desert use. And I had been thinking, wondering if a 12" 4 bolt, standard Harbor Freight trailer tire-wheel would fit....so tried it and it did fit.!!...and is nearly 2" taller diameter, but very sknny... compared to the old reg golf cart tire/wheel. Didn't try it on the rear wheel yet.

I was pressed for time so only did one front wheel set up.....and it seemed fine. Narrow tread footprint is not good for soft ground and mud...but good on dry gravel and rocky terrain....IMHO.

I still want to do a Jake's 6" Long-travel lift kit (US made)....but it's damn pricey at $700 for the kit, and my son says we can make one identical to it with his tools and skills. Down in Bryan, TX.. some weekend. So we'll see. Time -wise,with my having to devote my Mon-Sat life to "da man"....I don't have much time beyond the wknds for MY STUFF.
Here is a flying saucer that I got from the roof of an old boiler room at the jobsite...about 48" in diam....may make a good WiFi catcher for the cabin with the help of our good neighbor"Tffnguy".
This is a partial pile of iron porch columns from the jobsite. About 7' plus tall and weigh about 80 lbs....guessing.??

Damn near run outta salvaged items to nab from the jobsite. But I have a stack of 36" metal entry doors with jambs and door hdw with keys. Ran an ad on craigslist...no callers yet...guess I oughta post pics....haven't yet.

Pics are working with Blogger now...but now can't find the memory chip with the golf cart tire experiment.

BF, I got the tires on the back of the trike from Northern Tool in the DFW area. They are as wide as golf cart tires and the same outside diameter as the tires and wheels you are talking about. They also have the same bolt pattern.

Yts windy as hell down here and I'm sure getting tired of it!!!

Glad to hear Caren got a part time job.

Sounds like you have been busy.

Hope all the water did not cause caos down your way.

Ms B..yes, a little extra cash comes in handy as we await the next financial crashcade.

And the rain did leave the jobsite muddy as Hades, but itll dry up in a week (mid-week forecast shows rain next Wed)

take care..

Hey there are using Wordpress for your blog platform?
I'm new to the blog world but I'm trying to get started and set up my own.

Do you require any coding knowledge to make your own blog?

Any help would be really appreciated!

I'm new to developing web sites and I was wondering if having your site title related to your articles and other content really that critical? I notice your title, "Blogger: Our Dichotomous Life " does appear to be spot on with what your website is about yet, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any kind of assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in
the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.

Maybe you could space it out better?

Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to
start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

I leave a response each time I like a article on

Usually it's a result of the passion displayed in the post I looked at. And on this article "update...re:nanny state..with pics now". I was moved enough to drop a leave a responsea response ;-) I do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind. Could it be just me or does it give the impression like a few of the responses appear like written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at other sites, I'd like to
keep up with everything fresh you have to post.
