Trangia stove...
This was given to me by a friend of mine named Jason
Swiss Trangia, I got me some
some HEET in the yellow bottle in there some fuel and
He also gave me this windscreen has these little arms here that fold down you can
You could see right now
And they will hold the cookpot up high enough in the Trangia
Winchester Cathedral~~~
The other thing he sent was a military style this is actually a Hungarian cookpot
So I'm gonna boil in this some water have myself a purdy boil over here
And have a cup of coffee out here on a 48 degree day here on May
18th in Minnesota, I think it's the 18 might be the 17
Lost track of time in the COVID-19. So have a little boil have a cup of coffee and
Actually just enjoy this day
Sitting out here
it's really nice to be just just hunkered down under the tarp actually slept out here last night. The rainstorm didn't film anything
It just came out here and wanted to sleep on my hammock and missed it. I've missed it incredibly
That's a purdy burn ....yessir....
Oh
Yeah
That's some nice froth on there today
Medaglia D'oro instant espresso
In my well used
Little Foster spot that I got from Tinny at Mini Bull Design years ago
You can see that thing is
Taking a beating over the years. Oh
This coffee's gonna taste good on a cold day like this
And it is blustery as well, oh lordy goodness gracious that's a good cup of coffee
Yes, it's May 17th, we have the governor's orders that start tomorrow that some of the businesses are going to start opening up
You know, the severe hiking trail has been just for local hiking only day hikes
They've had the campsites closed, so I haven't even wanted to go backpacking
Because they're here in Minnesota there too saying hike local don't come up here
if you don't have to I think in a couple of weeks, I'm gonna head up to the Boundary Waters and
go do a foot trail up there cuz
I'm starting to feel now. Like I want to go back pack. I've walked around on the woods here shot some videos in the yard
Gotten the dock in got my fence soundproofed
fixed the deck
Redoing some window sills that were rotten just a million chores
organizing my my Nut Hut
The nice thing that some of you have expressed interest in getting a few of my paintings and I've been looking into doing prints on
Those and I thought that would be a simple process
But it's like taking the Junior College class
how to get them best printed taking pictures of them that really capture the color and the clear and reproduce well
Then finding the right kind of paper to print each painting on that suits at the best
Does it still capture the colors, you know the ones I painted on canvas?
I want to get those on like a textured Moab bright some archival paper what it costs to get a print done
To put it in the big envelope
I'm setting up an Epson site and then thinking of the sizes so I put a border on them or not
For framing I figure most campers would just stick on the thumbtacks on the wall in their gear room
I don't know, but it's been quite the exploration and
way more to it than I ever thought how to package it up how to personalize it for you get this shipped out domestically and
International how I can offer some free shipping blah blah blah blah blah
But I think his life goes on I'm going to be painting a lot more
Really mulling retirement from doing my show now that this pandemics been happening
I'm getting a lot of summer gigs
Cancelled still waiting to see if the Minnesota State Fair in Wisconsin State Fair are gonna go or not
I'm rambling now that one sip of coffee got me going. So I'll spare you the
Rest of my thoughts going on in the head
So, thanks again and Whooooo Buddy))))
