The only way I'm familiar with women (And men) paying someone for some sketch of them is at Anime conventions, except they're seeking themselves as a comic book hero. These don't quite fit that.

I saw the sketches but just didn't think about them.

So you're saying' you think he's a work of fiction? If he is, do you suppose he knows? His original writer might not have told him and he's just posting on and on, thinking he's real. Like the episode of 'The Twilight Zone' where the guy goes back to the house he remembers growing up in and the guy there tells him he's just a robot he built in the basement and the guy wondered where he got off to.
You think the original writer even knows he went to Texas?

Okay, I'm in an RV in the middle of a forest now. Generator didn't work, so I bought a used working one from someone (And he's attempting to repair the 'broken' new one I got. I saw that there was electricity being generated from the spark plug, but not high enough voltage to jump the spark gap, so something is faulty there - verified with a spark plug tester light. I was trying to take it apart so I could measure a few things to find the fault, but I couldn't take it apart in a timely manner. It just mysteriously wouldn't come apart after taking all the screws out.).
Anyway, I'm sitting in front of my RV in the middle of the road near my property and I think I've decided I need a chainsaw. Cutting down trees isn't the problem, it's cutting the trees down far enough so you can effectively bury them! And, it's hard to get that kind of precision with an axe. I'm thinking a chainsaw and something like a chainsaw angle grinder wheel would probably do it.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/King-Arthur-Tools-Lancelot-Woodcarving/dp/B00004RHL6
I already gave up on the idea of totally removing them because those roots go /freaking/ deep. You're literally digging for hours trying to find all the roots. I guess if you have one tree, dedicating an afternoon to the task isn't a problem, but it is when you have literally hundreds!
Another idea is replicating the force of an excavator in pulling the trees/pushing the trees out. Except, I have no idea how to do that except with an excavator, lol. The farm jack, I believe, is really suitable for only the smaller trees. In the front, I just need to get/cut the trees low enough so I can bury them.
I'm getting the idea that forests with lots of trees are only really suitable with heavy equipment.
When I get to that back where the farm is intended to go, I think I might be using heavy equipment there. Or, I might dedicate a few months to manual tree removal.
Found out that situating myself near a Fry's was a good idea. Needed a trackball mouse to replace the one whose ball apparently rolled away, possibly in a motel somewhere. However, the flying critters here are kind of annoying, lol. I'm seeing that they come out during warm temperatures and a couple days after a good rain. Been busy trying to seal up my RV. Not only will help keep the cold out, but also the critters. I can see my entire backside is exposed through these rear hatches whose hatches have apparently been removed. I want to get some plywood and small screws for this particular area; plywood for its ease of shaping and heat resistance. I guess an aluminum sheet would look more proper, but I want heat resistance. The guy said he's insulated it, etc., but I'm not entirely sure where he insulated it. Whatever's been insulated is useless with this huge hole out the rear hatch.
Update: Nevermind, I want some rubber.
And, I just decided, all food gets stored and consumed in the van. Just saw an ant and this rig is so porous for critters like that, it's ridiculous. I think I can do reasonably well against flying critters, but ants... lol.

Seeing Houston brought up some serious memories... grew up on the Sandalwood lakes near Buffalo Bayou. Gosh, the stories of then & there. Before Houston grew out to engulf the area, it was one of the villages, separate from that hungry megalopolis. It was all woods & wild when I was young. Loved to swim the lakes and hike the bayou. The critters I encountered, what a wonder. A magical childhood.

Bluto I'd recommend: cheap HF electric chainsaw for the mech inexperienced light user.
(also great for in-home remodeling!!!)
.Optical mouse, spares, 2day shipping
.Rot, burn, grind, or pull stumps with van
.Hugoculture for your cuttings and gardening
.Borax diy mixtures for various crawling pests
.Panda or similar for small capacity clotheswasher
.A few freakin pix from time to time. Feeling put-out lol.
Goodluck and have fun!

Re: stump removal
You can't use a chainsaw (or any saw) on tree roots - it'll dull the blades faster than one of them hogs in a rodeo show. Find a neighbour with a tractor. And beg, borrow or buy heavy chain. Have to wrap the chain around each root in turn and pull it out of the ground with the tractor. One by one, the roots will pull loose until the whole stump comes with it. Excavation companies hire out to do this kind of work, and sometimes its pays to pay someone else, especially when they have the right equipment. .

I'd use explosives. But that's just me. Sometimes the neighbors don't like the noise.
Yes, some coordinates for a google map would be cool. It would give us a much better idea for the area. I'd understand if you didn't want everyone to know exactly where you are located though. Maybe somewhere in the neighborhood.

Sure can't come and help, if we don't know the place. Just think, I was just about to jump on my bike and cruse down, NOT! Going -5 tonight and a high of 9 tomorrow. Only 37mph winds on top of the cold and it's blowing the wrong way. I'll have to wait till it warms up.fechter said:

Hey everyone, I'm near Magnolia, TX.

This area has tons of forests EVERYWHERE. Heck, I would say most of Houston (At least in the northern half) is pretty much neighborhoods here and there with expansive thick forests inbetween. It's like that EVERYWHERE.
Anyway, today has been kind of cool. Heard the first owl in the nearby area today. "Hoo hoo", kind of cool. Never heard that back home.
I also saw my first bird, lol. It's kind of weird, I'd expect to see more birds but I very rarely see them in this area (I really haven't been looking for them, but it does seem like finding them is a task). i do, however, see plenty of yellow ladybugs, moths and the occasional bees and mosquitos(At least this time of year) and the like.
There are definitely critters here, though, I can hear them at night sometimes.
Little bunnies hopping across the forest floor. I remember seeing those guys in the drier plains around Abilene, TX, it's kind of cool seeing them in the forests, too.
Anyhow, my minivan decided to "lock me" out again with it's "Security breach" 'feature' with my invalid key and all that (It's a plain key duplicate, it's not the original key with the security chip). I decided to wait 10 minutes, tried again; kept being a bug. Oooooo.... that was getting on my nerves, so I thought about how this thing likely worked (I figured it probably stored the time of the first breach in memory (ram)), and thought if I disconnected the battery, it'd reset the memory and maybe I'd have half a chance of starting the vehicle. It worked!
Thank god I keep all tools in my minivan. I actually do that on purpose, if I need to work on my vehicle out in the middle of nowhere (Like today, lol).

Huh, nice town! I had pictured the prop east towards magnolia springs.
Btw, you mentioned laundromats b4. Besides several well within 50 miles, would this one be convenient for you? https://www.google.com/maps/place/K+R+Washateria/@30.2335212,-95.860163,38310m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x8646d7f5f210f8c5:0x1cb1d9ac00663111!8m2!3d30.2173049!4d-95.7469973
Google maps is fun though. I wish they had an auto 'drive' function where it just flicks down thru a chosen street view for hours on end. Why TF is that not a thing.
For that matter, why aren't game developers using similar tech to map entire real towns/areas for more realistic and easier to create sandbox games?
Also Bluto, I was curious to see the fry's in houston, and then I looked up. Are persistent contrails a problem down there too? https://www.google.com/maps/@29.9129533,-95.4138252,3a,83.8y,311.89h,117.73t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4TYSIyBToezpWFTYMZ1GjA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Houston is a MAJOR shipping/refinery/trade port, so it's got tons of trains/airplanes/cars/ships/you-name-it. Contrails are just a fact of life where there's so many airplanes flying everyday. Even though I'm something like 50 miles outside the nearest airport, I still hear airplanes flying over every hour. Btw, I'm not really afraid of those contrails - it's just frozen moisture from the airplane's exhaust. I'd be more concerned about living more centrally, where the people breath in the local ozone from the excessive car traffic in the city (car exhaust and trees together creates ozone - http://www.livescience.com/46958-trees-ozone-pollution-map.html - ""What Reagan neglected to indicate is that unhealthy levels of ozone wouldn't form [from trees] without nitrogen oxides, pollutants emitted when gasoline and coal are burned") and significantly up lung cancer risks and related cardiovascular risks.

Yeah, sure is. The local high school touts it's been rated in the top 10 according to USA today in 2014 and 2015, lol. Truth be told, this area has a quite few "millionaire homes" around here. They tend to be hidden behind vast expanses of forests and long road entrances. And, the local HEB is definitely among the best HEBs around. Just about every nut and chocolate variety I could imagine in the dispenser bins, which tickles my fancy. Some of my favorite foods, lol. This definitely doesn't have the 'poor feel' of Tomball's HEB. This place feels like it has that 'refined tastes'/upscale feel with tons of variety and HEB prices.

Yes, it's obviously going to have the benefit of more affluent society. I akin it to areas surrounding my state's biggie, philly. Get just outside that shaded area and it carries unique benefits re: the city. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8484434,-75.2945161,9.72z Your little town has ALOT of independant business compared to towns similarly spaced from AL large cities (like birmingham) where I've been looking. Where there's much independant business there's more 'wealth'. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.8373677,-87.3031075,10.18z
I'll have to look into 'ozone' a bit more, it was always my layman's perception any vegetation cleans the air and loves co2. As far as contrails, I'm still not so sure the 'persistent' ones are all that scientifically explainable. . . . They are extraordinary phenomenom imo and the science is incredible.

The persistent ones... Not a contrail expert, personally, but if the upper air wind currents aren't too strong/variable and it's cold enough (Basically, atmospheric conditions are right so that it doesn't quickly disperse), I'd imagine they'd stay intact longer than otherwise and... thus... persist. But, IMO, there could be reasonable suspicion about certain contrails or cloud patterns; government doesn't seem to be too hesitant to put its own people at physical harm to pursue whatever their interests are. I just wouldn't expect it from the vast majority of commercial airliners.

Yeah, definitely. Looking at the advertised wage levels around here, it almost looks like what I keep hearing the 1960s was for most of the America. $12-15/hour full time work, monthly mortgage is $600/month. The minimum wage jobs are almost exclusively held by minorities here. Seems like there's plenty of "manly" jobs (Local 'industry' is doing pretty darn well, judging from the amount of 'industry' businesses that look to be doing well as far as keeping up appearances; the opposite was seen in Spokane, upkeep was neglected and most industries looked trashy.), so it appears that most likely there's a large percentage of the men employed here unlike most of America. Man, Spokane, WA was THE place to be unemployed as a man; the local workplaces were harems as far as the eye could see. If you wanted a job, Healthcare was the place to be; the only jobs in town as there were so many old people moving to the supposedly "cheap area" living off their pensions. (It was cheap for the west coast, but not cheap compared to Mid-central USA.)
Apparently ate too much sugar from the chocolates and felt sick to my stomach about 5 hours later, so I knew what the culprit was: Bacteria! Sugar grows bacteria like no other.
So, I downed some apple cider vinegar and felt much better within 30 seconds. Geez, it's awesome having the kind of medical knowledge I do, and practical dietary knowledge to go with it.

Watch out for falling trees! lol
This happened one time back home, a record wind storm swept the city and large trees left and right were falling like flies. Powerlines went down nearly everywhere, and there were more than a few main streets that were completely blocked by a fallen tree. It was actually kind of fun trying to find my way around the city that night; became like a maze. lol
Anyway, apparently a storm of some sort came through last night and trees started falling in the neighborhood. Huh, maybe that's why there's hardly any large trees here, mostly sapplings and "under 30 year olds". Most of them getting taken out by the wind before becoming too large. I've removed a large tree from my road that apparently "fell over" due to wind (Though, I don't really know... apparently efforts were taken to block this road in more than one direction.) in the distant past.
Someone approached my encampment yesterday, which surprised me. I didn't think anybody used this road, especially since it's been blocked off for who knows how many years, and it's obviously way overgrown (I've been taking care of it, slowly), there's two giant holes in the ground that my realtor AND surveyor told me made the road unusable and obviously no one lives on it besides me. Apparently a tree fell blocking his way home so he was trying to find another way home down my street. He was wanting me to move... but moving isn't easy. It takes a good 20 minutes prep, and he was obviously wanting to get home now.
I suspect the trees tend to blow over here because the packed sand layer is one foot down, so I suspect the roots don't go that far down into the soil. Anyway, I'm just looking at my area and wondering if death by falling trees is a realistic scenario, lol.
Anyway, apparently the same wind storm yesterday that happened here also happened in california:

No doubt has something to do with the onset of this multiple-world-record-setting cold front. Brrr.... 33 degrees here... This was the weather I was trying to escape! lol
Eh, it's fine with the propane. Just run it for two hours and the heat lingers for about 4. I also looked and apparently the guy did install insulation behind the white panels inside the RV. He just completely left the rear hatch wide open, which defeats the point. Oh well, I just need to seal it and I just need to get away from business to go pick up materials. It's just hard to do that when I need to be running my business 14hours/day to meet christmas demand.
This is my 3rd day of running the genny and I noticed the locals are starting to look around the area. I never saw a local directly, but I definitely keyed into one since there was a dog walking towards my RV, and then the dog looked back as if looking at his owner, and realized "Hey, he's going down that street, not this one" and then started running back as if back to his owner. I definitely don't see too many dogs just meandering around the area. They seem to hang in their front yard and the street next to their front yard.
I also was looking at the neighoring lots, and I noticed a rather old tree stump in the midde of the forest. That was peculiar to see... I suspect it was individually removed because of its commercial value (The trunk was notably thicker than the other trees). By whom and when, I have no idea... just some time ago. Thick green moss was growing on top of it.
Also found the local nearby stations are like "1.99 cash, 2.16 credit". O.O - 1.99 is the going rate around houston on the high end, and that's with credit. I got a bad bunch of gas stations around here. The nearest gas station is another 10 miles round trip, which is $1 in gas to get there and back. Paying the extra $.70 to fill up my 5 gallon gas tank at a nearby gas station means it's worth it, even though the price seems extravagant for Houston. I just need to be filling up my 5 gallons on a near daily basis because of how much I'm running the generator to meet christmas demand. Just to give some insight into the energy cost/revenue figures for this month.
$3000 revenue, $2600 profit, gas cost = $50. Truly a minor cost.

I suspect it was individually removed because of its commercial value (The trunk was notably thicker than the other trees). By whom and when, I have no idea... just some time ago. Thick green moss was growing on top of it.
Also found the local nearby stations are like "1.99 cash, 2.16 credit". O.O - 1.99 is the going rate around houston on the high end, and that's with credit. I got a bad bunch of gas stations around here. The nearest gas station is another 10 miles round trip, which is $1 in gas to get there and back. Paying the extra $.70 to fill up my 5 gallon gas tank at a nearby gas station means it's worth it, even though the price seems extravagant for Houston. I just need to be filling up my 5 gallons on a near daily basis because of how much I'm running the generator to meet christmas demand. Just to give some insight into the energy cost/revenue figures for this month.
$3000 revenue, $2600 profit, gas cost = $50. Truly a minor cost.
