NEW YEAR, NEW CHANGES and NEW PROBLEMS

Hi everyone, not sure where to begin except, HAPP NEW YEAR, I hope. The bad news, a few weeks ago I woke up around 4a.m. with severe leg pain and had to go to emergency at the Air Force Base. The doctor did some xrays and physical tests and determined that I need an MRI. He suspects a nerve in the small of my back is causing it and may have to have surgery so, that puts the halt to travel anywhere over rough ground until the MRI.

Yesterday, the borough came through with huge brush cutters and took off branches that were hanging over the road and they also did it to some trees that were no threat and put gauges in them. Then they sent a crew to cut down any potential trees that may cause trouble in the near future, within 2 to 3 years. They cut down trees within 3 feet of the property line. This makes me mad that they can do whatever they want to your property.

So, I have decided that I am selling both my town cabin and remote cabin in the Spring. I have a line on a 5 acre remote parcel about an hour south of Fairbanks, no taxes, no restrictions. There is a big lake and lots of trees. The lake has rainbow Trout and it is close to waters with Salmon. I will build a new cabin there and start all over. I feel this is the best thing to do. Hoping the surgery, if needed doesn't interfere. But, I won't let it personally.

I haven't been blogging for awhile as I have been busy cutting tree that had fallen down from the heavy snow and shoveling the roof and chipping ice from the roof edges. I did take pictures but forgot to load them on to the computer. I will admit that I was suffering from cabin fever for awhile and finally forced myself to get outside and smell the roses, well, the snow anyway.

I hope to get back to my normal self real soon and start this new year properly. I think this move will be the best for me, a new beginning, a new adventure. The property mentioned above isn't set in stone. I will advertise both properties for trade for a remote cabin and land of equal value.

So, stick around for a new episode in the life of one man seeking his new life.
