Last week, he asked when I would be moving into the teepee, and one of my elder family members asked whether I were staying within it, lol. I won't be leaving anything else over there, because my cast Iron dutch oven is now mia, for having done so (the one I had left up here on the porch is mia, as well... tweakers...🤬).
He has given me an old wooden ladder to use over there, upon request (you recall I have a thing for old wooden ladders, and I had spied it just lying around elsewhere upon his property). It is going to prove itself much more useful than his A-frame did (that was good inside), within the very near future. I purchased additional camo color spray paints, too, for the removable rain tarp currently way on up there.

tweakers, to be expected when starting a homeless community. Cast iron brings 5 cents/lb. now days.

Or perhaps in this case, usurping an existing homeless community.

When I was 14, 5 of my friends and I built a rather large teepee on our farm. We cut cedar for the poles. We used a hatchet for everything. It ended up being about 20 ft tall in the center and about 30 ft diameter. We used clear plastic for weatherproofing it. We built a hinged door out of 2x4s and covered it with plastic. The door was about 8 ft tall and 5 ft wide. It took us almost a week to build it. We got an old couch and rug from a neighbor to put in it. Then we had 3 mattresses to sleep on inside. We literally parked 4 atvs inside it with the furniture in it. For the outside, we had another couch and picnic table. We fabricated up a pot hanger out of t-post to hold a large iron kettle. That's where I learned that boiled cows tongue taste like when you bite your own. We lived in that thing all summer that year. Only went home to get food and clothes every week. That has to be one of the best memories I had growing up. All the neighborhood would show up wanting to see it. We always had visitors that spent the afternoon and evening hours with us cooking in the iron kettle. The next summer it became the love shack 
. The frame stood for several years but the plastic shredded after 2 years. Tragically, we dozed what was left of it. I have a shooting house in that spot now.

I put teepee work upon hold beginning yesterday morning, in order to give the geese a break and accomplish other tasks (eye doc yesterday and the great news is that I can now see further than last RX... simply can't see as well closeup...).
Just a quick drive by and all remains standing. Time will tell after the predicted winds...

Two being evicted stayed within the teepee last night, I learned late this afternoon. They told me this themselves and said it was very nice (lol, was below freezing last night...). I'm unsure, but if I correctly understood, they managed to run lights to it, via long extension cords; so, perhaps they installed electric heat, as well...
I headed that way at dusk, in order to check all out (hadn't done so in a few days), but geese (were at least eleven floating around yesterday) within the pond began calling to some flying overhead (no count, too dark), putting a temporary halt to my plans.

Have you ever thought about looking for a girlfriend? It seems you have tendencies but just go to a nice church, or bar and look at the opposite sex for awhile.
If you get lucky you won’t have to shave so often.

No, and I do not even like to briefly chat with females. The female having slept within the teepee is claiming to have recently discovered she is pregnant, at age 40. What type of idiot female chooses to sleep within a teepee, during freezing temperatures and while pregnant, when she has elsewhere to sleep? A tweaker type.
I am headed over there at sunrise. If I can check it out, without sending geese into early morning flight, I shall do so. The two tweakers better not be cuddled up in there upon my arrival...

No new intel, too many geese (minimum of 13 or 14) this morning, even though the pond contains partial perimeter ice,
and my soon to be replaced car top retains a dusting of round little BB-like snow pellets...
Two geese even flew directly overhead, as I was looking at that strange snow.
But my smaller pond is almost completely iced, failing to interest them at this time, for that reason and more. Although extremely close to teepee pond, I have yet to see birds (besides killdeer...) upon it.
I have a late morning appointment in Paducah and will do, at least, another drive-by, on the way to it. I will check it afterwards, whether geese are there or not, because I wish to ensure no drugs are within it and the door is thoroughly secured, first and foremost. If a cat has garnered access yet again, the tweakers will royally pay via hard labor, promise. They will move the teepee a few feet, which will require a complete disassembly and reassembly, with no access thereafter 🚫...
Regardless, the soil will be completely removed and replaced by me. I politely refrained from saying anything to them about it, but I'm not thrilled over tweakers having likely christened my teepee... not taking a blue light in there to learn, simply gutting it, after a total disinfecting of the interior walls..., once they have moved on... I did tell them it is for the children, implying that they should refrain...
I still need to finish the camo spray, but I did manage most of the top and the white, removable rain guard last time, without having to reposition the ladder.
Yeah, we build sand castles, not teepees...

A cowboy gets captured by Indians...
So a cowboy gets captured by indians. The indian chief comes up to him and says "ok, we're going to kill you, but I'll grant you three request before we do". The cowboy says "ok, first I'd like to talk to my horse. The chief thinks this is weird but says yes.
The cowboy whispers in his horses ear and boom the horse takes of running and comes back shortly later with a beautiful blonde on it's back. The chief says "ok, i see what's going on, you can use that teepee over there " the cowboy takes the blonde to the teepee and does his thing and comes out.
The chief says ok what's your second request and the cowboy says he'd like to talk to his horse again. The chief agrees and the cowboy whispers in the horses ear and boom it takes off running again and returns with a beautiful red head on it's back. The chief say "ok, use that teepee again" and the cowboy takes the red head in and does his thing and comes out .
The chief says "ok, third and final request" the cowboy says " I'd like to talk with my horse one last time" and the chief says " ok, whatever you want " so the cowboy approaches his horse a third time and says in his ear " I SAID POSSE!"

Yessir...
And two geese are courting. They are both fixtures now and don't seem to mind my presence too terribly much, for the time being. No honking at me, while extremely studious.at times. I placed out a small amount of feed for them (2nd time I've used it). They slowly swam half the perimeter, in order to investigate precisely what I had done.
They did honk at a young deer... They even watched me trim down the top of the teepee, never once swimming to the center nor far end. Will post photos later (tired now). I must hurry with their nest.
