So the DDR mat came, and Ive been playing that a bit. Definately gets me sweating hard, much more intense a workout than the 10 minute dance aerobics things ive been doing. I aim for 20 minutes of aerobics a day, plus 15-20 minutes of yoga, plus about 4 minutes on a break from work to bust out a bunch of pushups and crunches. Not too bad. I should still push it up a little more to loose weight. Ill ween up to it. I hate exercise.
I brought roshi outside for the first time since i found him. He didnt like it. He was very scared. Didnt help that Pazu was outside too and immediately went to chasing Roshi. I tried to bring him back inside but he took off running and literally disappeared.. I went around the fence 5 seconds after he did and he was nowhere to be seen. I looked for him for a couple hours but no luck. I set the live animal trap again hoping he would come back. I was really nervous because the stray dog packs have been around here lately, and I could hear them barking and howling not too far off.
As often as I could I ran outside during work, calling for him. I was really worried and upset, thinking I had lost him. I could only hope that before I found him, he had a home, and was just disoriented because of the porcupine quills, and now he was headed back home.
Well after work at 10:30pm or so, I went outside, feeling dejected at seeing the empty trap. I sat down on the brick wall and half-heartedly called for him, knowing he was gone ... but then .. there he was! He came loping back up to me, covered in mud!
Yay! Got the Rosh back!
I went and got the lumber for the bird / bat / hawk / owl boxes im goingto build. Allpine Lumber in La Jara is a good spot, can buy scraps and all kinds of lumber pretty cheap. At La jara Trading Post, for a couple pieces of plywood I spent $50. For about 8 assorted boards, all roughly 6 feet long, at Allpine, it only cost $7.
Tho, I found out at La jara trading post, your welcome to take their old pallets for free. Good news to me! We can use them to build compost bins and a simple outhouse.
At Allpine, for $20 you can get a full truckload of scrap lumber (some of which is beautiful and good size).
Their sawdust is commissioned out already unfortunately.
Need to find a very cheap or free sawdust provider for the composting toilets.
Tho I found out that we HAVE to have a septic system. Which from google estimates I thought would be about 15 grand, but calling installers in the area its actually going to be about 4 grand. Still alot, and will have to get my dad to pay for it. We have to have it installed before electricity, and we want to have electricity this summer.
