Po-boy’s are great.

I wish we had a po-boy place nearby.  Ken’s Tacos And More only has tacos, enchiladas, and cold subs (sometimes hot cheesesteak but not all the time).

There’s nothing else within walking distance…

wuh oh Winter Storm Nemo: Nor’easter Looms

time to stock up on the po’boys and non-perishables.

maybe living in a solar powered yurt would make more sense.

or maybe not.  this says needs a concrete base.

doesn’t look very warm to me.. or all that big..

I’m pretty sure it is warm, considering how people in Mongolia live in yurts like that, when the Siberian winter descends upon them.

Argh - found more Carrara shaders I had bought and forgot about! Downloading, will install tonight.. Bought Fenrics ERC for C8, in case I decide to try to model, rig, and animate.. TENTACLES!

Stuffed now. Tasty club sub with lettuce, pickles, and mild peppers on top of dead bird, dead pig, and dead cow!

Going to need coffee soon….. snzzzzzzzz…

There is this place in Northern California that’s kind of a hippy-type retreat, I went there for a weekend once - and rented a yurt!

Sucker was pretty big, enough for 2 easily.. and it stayed nice and comfy inside.

It all depends on the insulation you have, of course!  but a yurt won’t hurt..

Ahhhh… But if you think like a real estate agent the proper term is “cozy”.

those are traditionally NOT solar powered.. but fueled by Yak dropping fires.. (fire being the key here I think).

and they sit on the ground not raised above it where the wind can get underneath it.

...Still can’t decide if I want to go on a mini-vacation or get a new guitar… argh!

Based on what you’ve said so far, I think a mini-vacation would do you a world of good (AND you wouldn’t have an extra guitar to have to move about all the time etc etc ).

C’mon Down Under and float about with the ‘borg for a week or two (^_^)/.

That doesn’t look “solar-powered” to me—more like skylight is there for illumination. Second, if the floor has similar characteristics as floors in my corner of the world (butt-freezing in winter), the fact that it is raised is not a problem; our old-style buildings also have raised floors like that (although we used rocks instead of concrete) and people did survive just fine. You can put in a stovepipe oven or any other heating solution, you don’t need to have a big honkin’ fire in the middle of the yurt.

Heh, well, I’ve decided to forego the new axe and go on a few micro-vacations.. took next Friday off and will spend all day surfing Sixth Street and generally playing tourist! Well, once I get a package shipped (lol)!

I’d love to go to Oz or NZ but that’s a lot of saving up, pus the incredible hassle of getting my diabetic supplies (pills, blood glucose test kit) on to the plane in the first place.  The ADA (American Diabetes Association) says my gear is specifically allowed but that there can be “long delays” in getting someone senior enough to beat the peons below into submission - “allow 3 hours to go through TSA”.

I have zero desire to deal with that crap, honestly, even though I’d sell a small unused body part to go there!

Sometime in April I’ll make a 4-day weekend and spend it in San Antonio or such, or bus/train to New Orleans.

Morning. Hot. Again.

New Orleans sounds marvellously wonderful

The only thing I know about New Orleans is from Anne Rice <(^.^)... micro-vacations are also good - for much of last year I was working a nine-day fortnight, so every second weekend was a “long” one (~_~)... miss that.

Keep it simple, Mr Loach! (^_^)h… take a few set of batteries and your writing pad, and go on a road trip! (^_^)d.
