What Have You Been Doing?
What have You been doing to face this Time? HAVE you studied? HAVE you bought a bike or foot scooter? Toenail / Fingernail clippers? Have YOU spent a weekend without using ONE BIT of Electricity?
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING WITH YOUR MONEY! ???
Beer? New car? “Things”? Stocks and Bonds? IRAs? A BIBLE? A CONCORDENCE?
Ok, “sometimes” / “will”.
Well???
Your Path, friends. Have “at it”. But understand, THE NEXT FEW YEARS WILL BE A “H” OF A “TRIAL”.  Re

A SURPRISE…and More Proof “The Dam Has Broken”
Was JUST about to go to town. A knock on door canceled THAT! 3 on the porch. One a friend and “brother,” with 2 “unknowns.” A FILM CREW!
“We’d like to do a Documentary on you / domes. Would you allow it?”
2 1/2 hours later they ran out of film tape. “We’ll try to get back tomorrow.”
THE DOMES and the REASON BEHIND THEM….was an EYE OPENER!
Ran outta film at Skydome…want more on that.
Both are into ECOLOGY. Both FULLY AWARE folks do NOT “save the world” by DENUDING IT! Want to show what “REAL ECOLOGY” IS!
“Less is BEST”…”NATURAL verses DESTROY.” These 2 are REALLY INTO IT! Do documentaries on USA Events. Cancer marchers / etc. BIG “news” stuff. “People Helping PEOPLE” stuff. Aho?
They came, they saw…THEY WERE CONQUERED!
The sound man lives very close by. Love the 1st two…but SKY’S was “THE WHOLE CAKE”!
“A HOUSE! WOW, of WILLOWS!  UNBELEVEABLE!!!” AND so CHEAP!!!”
Later the cameraman said his partner had a request……………”I want one re…want in my back yard. Will you teach me how? I’m very serious about this”….???
Told him : If YOU do ALL THE Labor AND PAY FOR MY GAS…and Supply me with some ciggs…yeah, I’ll help.”
So, we’ll see. Aho?
All 3 told me “We have a newspaper reporter (SEATTLE TIMES!) who would like to meet you. Can she?  Would you mind?”
So, another “we’ll see.” ????
This is the BIGGEST NEWSPAPER IN ALL WA STATE!  (gulp)
Book on building? IF THIS DOCUMENTARY Gets Out…AND a “HOW TO MAKE” one as well….no! FREEBIE, as the ones in my blog.
Seems I’ve been given no choice. LOOKS LIKE “DAD” WANTS AS MUCH “OUT” AS I CAN. Why? I SUSPECT “Time IS SHORT!”. Aho? re

Get Into the “No Waste” Mindset
After school yesterday, and again after TAKING Sky TO School….he / I have been getting river rocks / etc. Will do more then I already have, today.
His fireplace and some flooring filled now. These “new” ones will be going on the bathroom wall. Get THAT part done.
My 2 “talks” have both been canceled, so time to get alot done out there. Maybe even tarp the top. THEN can do the 5 windows and call his dome pretty much done.
Kinda fun “getting” as I simply drive about. No gas wasted…going from A to Z anyway.
This “thinking outside the box” sure a Gift!
We ALL will be needing this CHANGE OF THINKING Very SOON! MIGHT EVEN BY NEXT MONTH (for alot of things). (I sorta am expecting a BAD USA $$ Economy SUPER CRASH!) ???
“Domes” be “damned”….more IMPORTANT things you need to “Out Side The Box” on….like ALL THE FOOD YOU WASTE! Potato PEELS…washed before peeling and “eyes” cut out, make GREAT “Potato Chips.â€
Asparagus HARD ENDS snapped off and tossed away are GREAT boiled and made into Asparagus SOUP.
These are but TWO of your WASTES! THINK ABOUT THIS, Folks!
Even green Toss Offs make GREAT “Fodder” to raise IN-HOME Worms! And THOSE, ground into hamburger…well, only YOU would “know”, if you keep your mouth shut.
(Don’t think you could do this? Well, when the wallet is empty and you’ve others to feed…you WILL change your mind).  “Do things” like this or start looking at your PETS, as Edible.
It WILL Come to this!
“Ugh”, right? YES…UGH!!! But YOU will have something in your stomach, when others become sunken skin! ALL AROUND YOU!
If You’ve followed my advise, you have started studying Ancient Ways. Building to Eating. Wild Plants to ……etc…
If you HAVEN’T spent some time checking these things out….START RIGHT NOW. And I mean NOW!
If I’m WRONG? KNOWLEGE is ALWAYS WORTHY. So WHAT if I’m mistaken!…YOU’LL BE SMARTER, at least!
YOU will not be like most of All on your block…who know ONLY “go to work…Buy at the store(s), and LIVE!”
This is all up to you, friends.
Yes, Right or Wrong…YOU’LL BE SMARTER.       re

Day Two
(click the photos for larger versions)
Sky’s Dome….WOW!
Adam just left. He and I spent yesterday and today in fixing up the inside of Sky’s Dome.
Yesterday was SUPER!  But TODAY…BEYOND “SUPER” —- UNBELIEVABLE !!!  WOW!  WOW!   WOW!!!!
For those who have recently visited….tho just DAYS AGO…NOW would be STUNNED!
The Sleeping Ledge (dirt held back by Vertical cut poles) NOW LOOKS LIKE YOU’VE WALKED TO AN OLD ANCIENT ENGLISH COTTAGE! A PICTURE painting!
“Wall” now a ‘FENCE’….MANY flowers….MANY (new) HORIZONTALS holding the ‘fence’ together. MORE moss added. I mean THIS is BEAUTIFUL!
Bed Side, “Ol’ English.â€Â Opposite, MODERN “rustic.”
Simply change your seating position and be in “Another” “WORLD”!!!
Again, Pics (yesterday) and TODAY taken. Looked GREAT Yesterday…but NOW? SUPER!!!!
An AMAZING DIFFERENCE from BEFORE Yesterday (“Plain”) to Yesterday (REALLY Nice!) to TODAY :Â WOW SUPER!!
THIS IS A MAGAZINE-on-CABINS / COTTAGES-places Building now. Maybe even COVER PAGE! And STILL Far from DONE!
WATCH FOR THE PICS IN MY BLOG. SHOULD be up in a week or so.
