October 9th, 2026. Today the well driller showed up at our property and drilled our well, 46' deep, and he says he have "tons of water." We didn't have any warning, just got a text when he was done. #Shirley&Frankbuildacabin,maybe.

Dammit, it just occurred to me. Beastiality was a red herring. They just threw that in so we wouldn't make a big deal about them hiring agents who visit hookers, and steal from their employer. And we fell for it, making a big deal over the beastiality, and ignoring the rest.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

August 7th, 2026. A couple of weeks ago we decided too pull the trigger on an opportunity to have a well drilled on our property. It is difficult to convince a professional well driller to haul their rig up 20 miles of forest service road to drill a single well. #Shirley&Frankbuildacabin,maybe.

1/5 2 years ago, our neighbor at Granite Creek convinced a driller to make the drive, as long as he had 5 wells or more to drill. He ended up drilling 14 wells. Our excavator Steve is building a couple of cabins up there, and needed wells, so the opportunity to get a well drilled came along.

2/5 After thinking it over, we decided to do it. The driller conducted a sight survey, and decided the best spot was the end of our lower driveway, exactly where our firewood pile was. So someone needed to move the firewood pile before the drilling date. Yesterday Shirley and i left Spokane at 9:30.

3/5 We made 3 stops, and were on sight at 2pm. Moving the firewood by throwing them up to Kenobi Point was not going to work as they kept rolling back down. Attempt 2 was with the wheelbarrow, but the over abundance of rocks in this area made this tactic unworkable.

4/5 Shirley suggested using the truck, which I then spent the rest of the day basking in the brilliance of my spouse. The Tundra was unloaded, then backed down to the pile, everything was loaded up, then driven to the new location. After setting up the two pallets, and the pressure treated wood.

5/5 We unloaded all of our firewood, covered it with the tarp, Shirley prepared lunch while I reloaded the truck and we left for home at 4:30, arriving in Spokane by 7:45. All in all a very productive day.

Please stop flying your personal drones over wildfires. They can ground or collide with our firefighting aircraft, disrupting time critical firefighting and threatening people’s homes. Your photos are not worth someone’s home. If you fly, we can’t.

So we paid Steve to clear our lot with his excavator, discard the stumps, and burn all the slash. About a month ago this chapter was finished. We drove in last week to confirm the exact location for our cabin, Steve had marked the footprint with paint. #ShirleyandFrankBuikdACabin,maybe.

We literally stood where the porch would be and imagined ourselves having a cup of coffee in the morning, and sitting on our porch at night just enjoying the peace and quiet of being in the woods. Next order of business is ordering a shed, from Olde Hickory Sheds. #ShirleyAndFrankBuildaCabin,mybe.

The recent conviction of the remaining three people in the Spokane nine has four reaching consequences. Trump is setting a precedent that ANY organizers of a protest with any conflict can be arrested on conspiracy. It’s bigger than these three. It’s ALL of us and our rights.

We decided to pull the trigger on the next phase of our cabin, we got a bid to clear our lot, removing many of the trees, pulling and hauling the stumps off, leveling our lot a little, and burning all the slash. This will clear the way for having an Olde Hickory Sheds Deluxe Playhouse delivered.

There's no way republicans will use the 25th, MAGA would turn on them instantly. Trump has become more and more of a hindrance too their plans of a total remake of the US into their perverted self image. At some point they will or have realized they need to eliminate him and blame someone else.

Revealing the truth in the Epstein case won't work for two reasons, too many of their rich powerful friends will go down also. And, MAGA has demonstrated repeatedly that they don't care if Trump raped young girls.
