    Default I'm back.

    What? You didn't even know I was gone? One thing living in the wilds of Alaska, absolutely no tv and almost no internet. They finally did get it fixed thankfully so now I'm back, in the "new" house. But yea, still no tv. "Running" water is a bit over rated as well. We've had a week of -35 and colder, record breaking for November. I still don't have my tub draining. He SAID all the pipes have heat tape on them but I don't think the outgoing does as my toilet has been a bit sticky during that cold snap as well.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

    Some day we're going to drop Crash in Alaska with his Jimmy Buffet shirt, cargo shorts, flip flops and a knife (crashdive, of course) and let him survive for a day or two. 81 indeed.

    Glad you found your way back and glad you're getting things resolved at the new place. Running water is the bee knees, thank you very much.

    Default So nice to see you back!

    I've been wondering what you've been up to. My hat off to you, don't know how you do it.
    Putting up with -35 is one thing. No running water and potty issues, well, that would be...what's the word...a deal-breaker for me.

    Lol thanks. Crash, come on up! Now that I'm out of the cabin and into a real house, I have plenty of room for visitor's.

    Alaska is the only state I have not been to yet. Someday I will be able to say I've been to all 50.
