I just read my post from 6/7/10. That was almost 28 months ago and I'm still going. Hopefully, in another 28 months we'll be living in Bali. Nowadays, I've shortened keep going to KG.

Trucks
Well, no followers yet? That’s okay; I’m used to going solo. Don’t get me wrong, I like a little company as much as the next person, but when no one is willing, or able, to come along, it doesn’t stop me from going myself. Keep going Marty, keep going.
Winter is tough in Durango Hills. We live at 8800 feet in the Rockies, on the edge of the San Juan National Forest. Last week the four wheel drive broke on my truck. Luckily, it’s my work truck, and it is being repaired by the company mechanic. The trouble is that it is also my water hauler, so I haven’t hauled any water up to the house for 5 days now. I’ve been driving another truck from work but it’s no good for hauling water.
My truck was supposed to be ready yesterday but the mechanic got pulled off of it to do something else. So I borrowed another truck from work and put my water tank in it. This one had been sitting for a while so we had to jump start it. Then it had a flat tire. Anyway, I got through that, got the tank in it, and managed to put 150 gallons of water in it. But then, on the way out of town, the truck started choking. We nursed it half way back to the yard. I saw it this morning, it’s still sitting on the side of the road.
I drove the other truck home last night, but still no water. We’re dangerously low. Hopefully I’ll get my truck back today. Keep going Marty. You’re old as dirt, but your kids are young, so keep going, you can’t rest now.

It's Here
This morning, early this morning well before the light of day, I looked out the window and noticed something on the ground outside. The moon is almost full, so I thought it may be moon glow. I didn't have my glasses on, or my contacts in.
Last night rain pattered the roof and the howling of the wind came and went. We built a fire. Chatter Box and Chubby were playing their guitars, singing, dancing, and fighting. Four-year-old Chatter Box said, "Dad, can we have a fire every night? I love fires - I'm so warm."
"That would take a lot of wood," I said.
When the fire started to die she said, "Dad, I'll throw in the little woods and you can throw the big woods."
Upon closer examination, it was the white stuff.
