Our week

By -
We've been on a bit of a hiatus from the blog lately so I though I'd just give a recap of last week as it was fairly typical as weeks go. On Sunday, I received a phone call from my good friend Bruce. He told me was going to be in town on Monday so we arranged to meet for drinks that evening.  
Me and Bruce

Jean wasn't able to meet up with me Bruce because she had mistakenly fallen through a rip in the space/time continuum at work and ending up hanging out with Michael Jackson and Grease era Olivia Newton-John instead.
Smooth criminal Jean
On Wednesday, I appeared on Oprah to talk about what it's like to be married to a space/time traveler and to promote my Choose-Your-Own-Adventure trashy romance novel, Passion in the Caucasus.
 That evening, my shower was rudely interrupted by a film crew shooting in our apartment.
Meanwhile, Jean ran into Albert Einstein and together they were able to find a way to get her back to the 21st century.
On Friday, I had a doctor's appointment to get some adamantium grafted on to my skeleton and Jean picked up a few pieces of body armor at K-Mart.
The adamantium is good but it stings a little sometimes


On Saturday, we went motorcycling in the countryside and ran into a couple of familiar faces.


Saturday night in King's Cross got a little wild with the can-can dancing, cross dressing and other silliness.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that when Jean got back from her space/time trip she got an invitation from this guy to visit at his house in Washington D.C....

What I can't understand is why Bruce Willis would pose next to a waxwork of Aaron Yarbrough? Did his press office release the photo?

I LIKE your life! I bet you had a lot to tell Oprah! And Jean looks hotter than Olivia, glad she is back in her time. What fun! Thanks for sharing.

Black Soldier Fly Larva Harvester

Black soldier fly larva are voracious decomposers. Here's a video  of a some larva completely devouring a hamburger over the course of five hours. And here's a video of some chickens completely devouring some black soldier fly larva. Black soldier flies have some curious qualities that make them particularly well suiting for cultivating their larva as fodder for your feathered friends: As stated before black soldier fly larva are voracious. They will eat fish and meat scraps that you would not typically put in your compost pile for fear of attracting larger vermin. They break down organic material into usable compost extremely rapidly. As an added bonus black soldier fly larva eat the eggs of other fly species who foolishly lay their eggs in rotting organic material. This severely diminishes your population of house flies and fruit flies. I had a compost pile that was beset with fruit flies until the black soldier fly larva moved in. When a black soldier fly larva is re...

Roundwood Building Workshop

I went to a Roundwood Building Workshop this weekend. Roundwood is timber that is left as logs rather than being cut into planks. We constructed a shelter for a cob pizza oven (yet to be constructed). The timer is a mix of red cedar and ash juniper. Before doing anything with it we had to take the bark off it to prevent insect infestation down the road. The night before the project leaders charred the end of the posts that would be put in the ground. The charring is another insect infestation prevention measure. Getting the cut ends charred is of particular importance. The post holes were dug to a depth of 2-3'. We also half buried a couple of dozen roofing nails in the charred end of each post for additional stabilization. The cool thing about roundwood is that you can use features of the tree(like this limb) to add beauty and support. This limb will provide support for a girder. After we got the posts in position we back-filled the holes with decomposed g...

T-Brick Shed: Rubble Trench French Drain Installation

The last thing Jean told me before she left for the UK was that I had better finish the shed project before she gets back or else. The trench was a little soggy still but I decided to press on with the french drain installation for fear what that else may be (Although, I'm hoping the "else" will be make me a delicious sandwich). I dug out the high section blocking  the drain outlet and and cleaned up a some edges before putting down landscape fabric and a layer of gravel. Putting down the landscape fabric in the trench. Landscape fabric is water permeable but significantly less sediment permeable. This will help prevent the gravel and french drain from becoming blocked up with silt. Here's my work crew. The tamp/rake tango Release the hose! Uncoiling the perforated tubing. First objective was to fill in the tripping hazard that is the drain outlet. Note how we form a sort of gravel/perforated hose burrito with the landscape fabric. We...
