Hunting Season
Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 25th, 2010
This fall’s hunting and trapping season has been very productive. I caught a deer, a porcupine and several beaver. Now, I’ve got enough meat to last me until next year’s hunting season. I feel so grateful for the food. For Thanksgiving we had some deer and two geese from the Brownfield Bog. I watched the [...]
St. Croix River Trip
Posted in Uncategorized on Aug 21st, 2010
My mom and I had a fabulous trip across Spednik and Chiputneticook Lakes and then down the St. Croix River to the Kellyland take-out. We did a lot of fishing on this trip. We caught small mouth bass, pickerel and perch. They were delicious. We’ve got some fishing stories from this trip. On the first [...]
Half the roofing is on
Posted in Uncategorized on May 27th, 2010
I’m excited. The southern roof is on the building. We should finish the roof tomorrow. I will probably need to order another piece of roofing. That’s not bad considering that the used roofing metal was donated by a friend. My bones are tired. The muscles in my hands ache. Each individual bone in my hands [...]
Hang out around Motorcycle gears

I had a nice day spending time with Joe in his Garage. We were attempting to get to the bottom of an oil leak my Suzuki DR 350 motorcycle. The rain came through in wisps a little at a time. It was very comforting from the shelter of the garage.

Need more trees
Posted in Uncategorized on May 6th, 2010
I slept in to the sound of rain on the tarp that hangs over my tent. I did errands for most of the day. In the afternoon I returned home and cut three more trees down which made around six more logs. I think I need approximately seven more trees to finish the cabin. We’ll [...]
Arrow Making

The cabin is getting tall and working on it now entails standing on ladders or the top of the wall. There are two more courses before I can put a log across the top of the opening for the door. In the afternoon Joe pulled a stump that was near the cabin. It took him [...]
Jamal’s Return to Maine and Re-Structuring Life
Posted in Uncategorized on Apr 16th, 2010
It’s been a month and several days since I got back from my motorcycle trip through Central and South America. I’ve had quite a time adjusting as everything has changed. My trip gave me the time to think and open up. When I returned, Joan and I decided to separate. In Italics below is the [...]
