Crazy driving
Power outages
No water? No problem with all the snow
Out of this world
Pretty decent breakfast view
Not all trees can take it 
All this untainted snow to play in
Do you want to build a snowmaaaaaaan?
Yup, same one

First the snow, then the mud, then we’re building a house. The chicken coop needed to be moved before all this. It’s weird to see it there.
It took only 1:30 hours to move it 6 miles, flatbed trailers and good friends are awesome.
Ever since I saw it on the survey map, I’ve been curious to find this cemetery. It’s not on our land but right next to it.
It’s tricky to find as it doesn’t stand out much from the rest of the forest. Lots of graves from the early 1800s, cool stuff!
Making every effort to not lie while leaving enough ambiguity for your brain to read what it wants to read. But maybe what irritates me more is their implying that healthy food doesn’t taste delicious initially.
DID YOU KNOW? When combined with actual healthy food, Skippy can help it not taste like shit while associating itself with its health benefits.

Hey pssssssssst! Let me in! I want to snuggle. 
I wish to share my buying with all of facebook, twitter and email.
GUESS WHAT GUYS? I just bought a ‘PS2 Keyboard to USB Adapter’! That’s right! I bet you’re jonesing all the crap I buy.
In all fairness I did just blog about it.
The cognitive dissonance is so strong with that one it took my brain minutes to accept what was going on. Trying to find every other possible explanations between the moment of surprise and the moment of acceptance.

This is still very much a work in progress but has made our meals a lot more agreeable already.
One phenomenon that is extremely confusing for non-native English speakers is how the most generic words can be used to mean something sexual. Whenever I speak I’m a a state of second guessing what I’m saying.
As in “I did her”. Do you have any idea how prevalent “do” is? It took me years to master it; getting all of its nuances is a true test of English mastery. The last thing it needs is a sexual meaning that is so easy to let out in the most benign conversations.
As in “I’ll have her”. This one is actually hard to confuse with other uses of “have” as you rarely talk about a person belonging to another in any other context. But that’s a crazy common word.
As in “I slept with her”. Did you have sex or did you just sleep in the same bed? Better not sleep in the same room as family or the conversation will be filled with incestuous innuendos.
“Ben, we’re leaving!” “I’m coming!” Does this mean I’m arriving now or later? God only knows.
If you are a gun enthusiast handyman raising poultry, don’t even try, find synonyms. These guys are pretty context specific but there are multiples of which they fit and as a result, they tend to show up a lot.
Now to be fair, the only other language I’m intimate with (French) has some of the same sexual meanings associated with generic words, but they are fewer and formulated in a way that removes any ambiguity.
Did I miss any?
They made it into a 2000 Ford Focus, a 2005 Subaru Forester & a brand spanking new 2012 Suzuki SX4. They leave mouse shit everywhere, they literally take dumps non-stop. They even brought the poison I spread around the house into the cabin air filter these fucking little pricks.
It’s an all out war and I’m not taking prisoners.
First, I gave them back their poison, have fun not coagulating bitches.
Second, all of these cars have a path that allows a small rodents into the cabin. The Focus & the SX4 was through the cabin air intake. I still don’t know how they make it into the Subaru.
Here’s how to upgrade a 2012 Suzuki SX4 to have an armored air intake.
Pro-tip I didn’t know, most cars’ cabin air intake is somewhere right bellow the windshield on the passenger side. Usually you need to remove the piece of plastic that is between the windshield and the hood as pictured bellow.
A close up of the air intake and how completely unprotected it is.
Now with protection, it looks pretty bad but it has done the job so far.
Back in business
Here’s how to access the intake from the inside, it gives you access to the air filter. You just need to remove the glove box first, no screws need to be removed.
It’s pretty lame to post my dumb hack online but I’ve had an incredibly hard time finding any information about cabin air intakes for cars so I hope it’ll help someone.

My wife & I have just released our first children story! As an app for iOS devices. This is the achievement of what started innocently as a small project reading stories to mp3. Months of work, huge investment for the art, it feels great to have put this project behind us.
My only hope now is that the market gods will treat us well.
Here it is in all its glory:
