Fr. woodbuck27 - What helps to define me - Packerrat friends

That is one comprehensive, display of your family and home environment!

We need to get GBRulz and MJZiggy to organize a PackerRat visit next summer.

I think the outhouse would provide suitable lodging for Madtown!

Growing up in norther Wisconsin, my gradfather had a cabin on Lac Court O'Reilles near Hayward. An outhouse surrounded by trees served our bathroom "Needs." When one of my sisters had to use the "facility" during the middle of the night, they woke me up for "Black Bear Security."

Haha.

My Father was a Master Plumber so we actually have a full bath in that farmhouse oregonpackfan.

The thing is we have a Family of Hummimg Birds that return every spring(late) to the homestead in Juvenile and these wee critters are awesome and very friendly.

If I go to that outhouse I most likely will get a visit fr. one of the senior members of the Humming Bird family who enjoys a little small talk in the early morning hours.

I seldom miss a sunrise in Juvenile when the weather permits that.I am out in that outhouse for my morning constitutional, and often meet with my Humming Bird buddy for a wee chat.

He usually also visits me every evening, as he does his best impression of a Blackhawk Helocopter, teaching the young Hummimg Birds how to defend the food supply.

Humming Birds are my favourite member of the Animal (Bird) Kingdom.

They get to know they are safe near you and will zip right up to your ear, buzz you, and then roll to within an inch or so from your face and listen intently as you speak to them.

They are very entertaining.

In the summer months the days are mostly hot (up to 100 Degrees F ) and we get a great breeze by midday to keep it fr. becoming clammy. The home is located above the S.Branch of the Oromocto River and about 300-400 feet elevation above it.

The balmy breeze's and the large cotton candy like clouds with pink and yellow to gold undersides are spectacular in the evening as are the sunsets.

The stars and shooting stars and heat lightning shows are also an added treat.Sometimes a lightning storm flashs in the same spot in the sky for over an hour.

It is more spectacular than the Montreal Fireworks in it's natural state.

Juvenile truly is a magical, a spiritual experience for anyone that has time to spend there.One needs more than a day or two to get the true value of all it offers.

I spent a lot of time there as a youngun and all summer and fall of 1995.That was an amazing experience for me as I worked long hours improving the woodlot doing Silvaculture and removing brush where that was needed.

I don't know when I was in such good shape as that summer and fall. Hard work.Good food and fresh air.

No substitute for that as a quality life.

All my friends love to visit Juvenile.

Any Lady Friends seem to get annoid with me as it can't be all play as things have to be done.We have a large area of lawn to maintain and it grows too fast in June-July.Then there are all the necessary repairs as maintence is always necessary to stay on top of it or it would go to 'H'.

I like it for another reason.The Saturdat night Stock car races in Geary,NB are 20 minutes drive away fr. Juvenile. AQ super an inexpesive night out for friends and family.This track is also described as the fastest in Canada so the racing is a blast.

Hunting there in the fal and good fishing in late spring and all summer top it off.Plus great places to swim and bath and juast explore.

I also have permission or access to two great cabin/camps on different lakes.Schooler and White Birch lakes to add more to the experience there .So I get some guys out for a big feed and a Poker Night. Sleep over and a huge breckfast and then a fine hike say up to Schooler Mountain that offers an amazing vista overlooking many other lakes and fine forest that is if it's not clearcut.

Lots to entertain me in Juvenile.

Then we play horseshoe's,darts,frizbee,chess,backgammon,checker s, dominos or maybe have a day of RISK around a fine supper and late lunch.

UIt is all there.This summer if I return I want to set up ring toss with the large washers and volley ball.

We have several people that play guitar and juiceharp and spoons and sing way too good. My brother Dennis was once a professional entertainer in several bands as a lead guitar player.

Marilyn's fella, Dan the man is just an amazing entertainer and loves to do that for hours; as does a friend fr. McKadam (Bruce) will play non stop for 4-6 hours and never repeat a song. These felas would play so well there are times it's hard to keep the tears away.Dan does The Wreck of the edmund Fitzgerald better than Gordon Lightfoot. He blows me away with his talent just as Dennis and Bruce do.We have more guitar players that love to just be up at the home in juvenile.

Often it is party central but we work hard for that. We also love to have people in for a visit and a stay over. Just bring your own beer etc.and a great attitude.

Wanna work? We'll put you to work.

Is that like a guest house?

The story goes that Madtown, desperate for a place to stay while in Wisconsin, agreed to rent an outhouse belonging to GBRulz.

GBRulz was surprised to see a television antenna mounted to the outhouse a few days later. Madtown explained that he was simply getting comfortable. When a second antenna showed up a few days later, GBRulz asked Mad if he had gotten a second TV.

"Oh no!" says Mad, "I sublet the basement to Rastak."

[esoxx]

So Cleft is actually mraynrand, eh? I would have never guessed.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Awesome! Is that one of those Polish outhouses?

That's a State of the Art Rural Library Harvey, with the Archive section upstairs.

Ed - I have to agree with your sentiment on hummingbirds. We've recently had a family of 4 or 5 compete for our bird feeder (we fill up about 2 or 3 X's per week). They'll come and sip about a foot (or less) away as we enjoy the great Cali sun.

They even had a nest within view - and we'd watch their habits. Never knew they were so territorial and liked eating tiny bugs.

Good stuff.
