    The white part looks to be quartz.

    An agate stone? I'm going to hold on to this for healing and well being purposes.

    Could be agate. Can't fully tell from the photos. Beautifully tumbled the natural way. The white in the stone is definitely quartz.

    Do you work or are just living through life and enjoying it any way you want?

    (Not meaning this to sound rude or disrespectful, just simply curious)

    I have a few hustles. Online surveys, product reviews that pay and I get to keep the product, and the occasional plasma donation. I'm kinda minimalist, as long as I have a lil gas and lil chow I'm good to go. Just out here livin my best life.
    I've seen some grifters straight up put their cashapp on their window and I've been curious if anyone actually gives to em, might give that a shot. LOL

    My great grandmother is 88 years old and she has been taking care of her brother who is 79. (I help when I'm around, but that isn't as often as I'd like it to be) she has been having a problem with the code compliance in her neighborhood giving her a hard time. Today she called me and said "he's in the yard with a ruler measuring the grass" (4 inches like his shrimpy lil dingaling) and she feels like this guy is singling her out. There are no violations at her house but the guy keeps coming back. How would you deal with this? I know what I want to do but I don't need that trouble in my life, I refuse to end up like the old man.

    Hey keep it going. As long as you’re happy with what you’re doing and being safe, that’s all that matters.

    As for the great grandmother, assuming she’s in an HOA, not a lot you can do. They’re some crazy strict people that run those. Just try to help her out whenever you can and around.

    Probably not as safe as I should be, but that just makes it a bit more fun.

    Don't forget to keep us filled in on the gnome adventures. And pics of them, as well as his safe return home.

    Code enforcement. What a joke. And what a joke of a man harassing an old woman. Id pee in the yard whenever he comes around. Let him know who's top dog.

    That damn city has me feeling all kinds of ways. Mostly like "sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things"

    But it's nothing a good fat joint can't take my mind off of for now. Nothing I can do about it from here and stressing it doesn't do any good

    Dropping off the lil homie, and heading back to Phoenix to deal with grandmas problems, they gave her a court date and a fine over a few weeds in the yard and for an "insecure gate" which is actually chained shut. Gnome pics and an update when I get there. Take care till then y'all.

    The furnace uses a lot of propane and it's getting expensive. I think I have a solution. I'm going to light up the canned heat and put the clay pot over the top. The pot will get hot and I can use a fan to circulate the heat.

    If your not boondocking, a small electric heater is the way.

    I have this thing, pretty sure it's what Abe Lincoln used to heat the cabin, it's so ancient. Lol
    I just don't have a whole lot of faith in my electrical and I'm worried about a fire.

    Finally got around to building the box for my wall mount and put it in the corner. It's wired with enough cable that I can put it pretty much anywhere inside, I can even set it on the tailgate and have tunes to go with the campfire.

    90% of the time I only have 12 volt power. I seriously need to invest in power but I can't decide between jackery or ecoflow

    Nice job. Looks unnecessarily bulky and heavy for what it does though.

    If I had to guess I'd say 20-25 lbs. I probably should've used cedar but had a lil ply leftover from when I built the platform and just kinda made do with it. Eventually I'm doing a full interior remodel with either teak or mahogany. The goal is for it to look like a nice old boat, something like this

    That looks awesome. Also looks really heavy. There’s a reason RVs have what seems to be cheap, light materials used everywhere. They are saving weight. Every 1/2# here and there really adds up. Tundras have low payload ratings, you need every 1/2# reduction you can find.

    Lol about 30-45 lbs per sq ft for mahogany. I've got my total under 7k now (6800 and change) The tundra will be getting retired from camper duty soon enough. I'm looking for an older F250-F350 but I won't go diesel unless it's IDI so I can run it on waste oil. Im waiting for the right one to fall in my lap.

    If anyone has a connect on a VIN M or T model Ford and wants to offload that beast hit me up.

    Found a great little pond and went around the neighborhood looking for permission to fish. Ol boy comes to the door and says "ill tell you what, do a little work for me and you can even keep your catch"

    I love good people, it's a shame they are so few and far between these days. I'm off to cut some grass and slay some bass.
