September Update

Some of you might think we are not around. Truth is, we are still working on cleaning up the shop mudslide disaster. Currently, we are down on vehicles, being that Beast just lost a starter, Thor had a random injector failure right at the time of the mudslide. Most of my tools and shop stuff are still buried in the yard. @Tweety Bird is trying to fill my shoes on the website by handling administrative duties. I'm working with the locals here to attempt to get use of a small track hoe and hoping for the return of the skid steer. Shop is still just a mess as we keep sorting materials to dispose of the debris while hunting for tools, parts, or any belongings.

We are trying to plan for winter coming which includes getting firewood. Remember, both of my chainsaws are gone in the mudslide. Then I attempted to get both trucks running without a full set of tools and had to drive to friends' places to borrow tools for what I was missing. Currently, both trucks need work to get ready for winter. The crazy part is that I have to find help for the heavy-duty stuff because my cancer / ostomy is preventing me from doing most of this work...lifting restrictions...hernia risk...still building up my strength.

Just another note, as for access to the website @Tweety Bird and I am sharing a laptop right now. Her laptop screen got damaged. My main computer finally gave up and the video card isn't rendering the screen correctly. That machine was built a long time ago. To top it off...our cloud server that controls the network here, is giving us backup, and storage and video recording of the security cameras just died too. I'm working on solutions to all these issues.
