09.20-24.2015
Its been a busy couple of days. I traveled to Missula on Monday, which i found out is also known as "Zoo Town." I visited the book exchange and got a set of used books to help pass the nights. Then we did some scavenging and found some cool things. Kai and I got some Russian olive tree seeds that we pick on the side of the highway. Together Kai and I explored the fruit of the city of Missula and it was a good day.
My next two days were just reading and planting seeds all over my property. Today I spent the day chopping wood for the innervater's event in October. I got maybe a quarter of a cord of wood chopped for rocket mass heaters.
Good news! I have a digital camera on the way and it should be on the 26th. So more pictures soon.

09.18.2015-09.19.2015 Bike Frost
09.18.2015 Today I did some bounty work. I remounted the helostat and but a mesh screen around the vent in the office rocket mass heater. Not a lot of work all in all but it was gratifying to finish a project or two. I got up to the lab late and started making bread. It was late and I decided to see how the bread would do with a slow over night rise.
09.19.2015 It was cold when I woke up today. Cold enough that there is frost on my bike. So the ride down was very cold, I couldn't feel my hand while riding. Still didn't make it in time to get a ride into town. That made me more then a little nettled. But then I watched "greening the desert" the video that inspired me to study permaculture. I felt a lot better. Then remembered an old sermon that always inspires me: God is the Gardener by Hugh B. Brown. It hasn't been easy here by any stretch of the imagination, I often find myself cold or hungry. Then I remember that all this hardship will be for my benefit.
Today is the day I excavate the rest of my house hole. Evan has thus far been an excellent operator and i fully expect to be working on the north berm wall by the end of the day. And also baking my bread exparent. Wish me luck all.

Why a blog?
You may of may not know that I've been writing a blog and posting it on permies.com but i also have a patreon. One of the requirements of patreon is that new links are reported to fallowers. When i post on the forums i continuously would post the same link again and agian. So I'll be blogging here and reporting it to patreon and the forums.
