Buppies I am sorry to read about your disturbed sleep patterns. Non-restful/disturbed sleep does not help daytime activities. I can definitely relate.
Thomas- In my case a month; much longer. Nowadays "projects" around here move at a glacial pace, and I am not complaining. My plan this week: swap out the box scraper blade for the tiller, and depending on the weather till the "garden."
Drew- I look forward to reading about your adventure. Many + T&P's for you for a safe trip and many + experiences.
I do not know why, but bears are terrified by my wife. They take one look at her and they are gone sometimes through garden fences. One showed up today while she was on the deck and same response. They look at me, sit down, and yawn.
