    Hey Larry how was camping?

    It's been pretty nice. Cool at night, and not overly hot during the day. I'm hoping to get back into my camping groove. Until we moved out to the farm 12 years ago, I camped every Wednesday and Sunday night. I have made a shelter {small house} out of tarps, and keep hauling "stuff" to fill it up.

    I did some more cobbing while I was down there. I changed the fire chamber on the Fox stove.

    Also made a couple of rocket stoves in cardboard boxes.

    You find out by doing, and I found out duct tape isn't enough support for that much mud. The first one I made had bad posture, but luckily, cob can be recycled.

    I used part of that mud on the one I made today. It will take up to a month for the cob to cure all the way. But after a week you can put small fires in it to help dry it out.

    I also found out my cousin has a small backhoe and is always looking for excuses to use it. So I might be able to finish the digging in good order. Since I hurt my back a couple three weeks ago, I have had to use the shovel sparingly. I have only dug enough to get the clay and sand used for mixing the cob.

    You guys have a good one,

    Larro

    She may on other threads, but it's been a while since she did anything on here. Her surgery was scheduled for a week ago today, with two weeks recovery time. I have been remiss in not sending here a PM to see how she's doing.

    Good Morning Cool kids. Welcome to all the new folks! Great to see you here.

    Cannot believe how quickly the days go by. I realized I had not checked in, in a few days. Was in the city, visiting with my youngest son and his family. Got some good cuddle time with baby Audrey. She is SO adorable! And, such a good, good baby! She has two teeth, which was a real surprise to her parents, as she was not cranky at all. Other than the drool, she really didn't exhibit any "teething" signs. :smile:

    I have not had time to do any workouts since last Wednesday! Gah! I so dislike when life gets in my way. I do curl tonight, but I don't count that as exercise.
    My eating has also been so-so. I am seeing a pattern. When I workout diligently, I eat better. When I let myself go, I let myself go all the way. Not good.

    Have a great day all!

    Lots of folks call me Larry, so I didn't even notice it. Caramel says she is pretty swollen still, but can already tell she is happy in her skin. Which she has ten pounds less of.

    That's tough surgery. I will have to get it done probably. I already have skin issues after the loss I've made and I still have lots to go.
