The view from the outhouse
Saturday November 7
18 degrees this morning. It’s a really gloomy day. The forecast was for a huge winter storm this afternoon and tomorrow. I wasn’t counting on it. The Alaska forecasts are about as accurate as a presidential election poll. Kari and I made the big switch today. 4 wheelers put away and the snow machines out. I can’t get too close to her because the Silty Slough Department of Health instituted a 14 day quarantine for anyone arriving. She has been staying at the neighbors cabin. It isn’t quite as warm and comfortable as my cabin but adequate.
Some people have been asking about the mayors election results. We are still waiting on the mail in ballots to arrive from the post office. The mail plane comes again Tuesday. I saw a couple snow machines go by this afternoon so it shouldn’t be too long before we can get to the post office.
I’m afraid the boys are getting ready to withdraw before or resign shortly after the election. I think they are more interested in rolling in coyote shit than they are in politics. Can’t blame them the result is the same. But until then Teddy and I are selling “I voted” Sharpie pens. This is a great gift for those of you that didn’t get an I voted sticker. We are also taking pre-orders for commemorative hand cancelled mailed in ballots. These are post marked Nov. 3. Please let us know how many you want so that we can get them made up. Teddy is slow at cancelling. Everyone remember “We will cheat the Trump Haters and pass the savings on to you”. Our website notrumphatersinSiltySlough. com.
The snow started at 3 as forecast. Supposed to get 9-20 inches. The road commission will have to hit the trails and get everything packed down. Teddy loves to ride on the machine, Cooper not so much. As soon as we get enough snow we will stake out a runway in the slough and pack the snow for ski planes.
Tomorrow is Sunday, I hope all you Trump Haters go to church and think about how you voted for the people that voted to kill babies. I think abortion is ok in limited case, like if we could make it retroactive for certain individuals like CNN and MSNBC commentators, and Joe and Kamala.
I haven’t heard about any burning and looting here in the slough. It may start after all the election litigation. I also haven’t heard anything from the Trump Haters. They must be back in the bunker with Joe. If I was Joe I would be more afraid of the Clintons than Trump.
You spineless worms have called me, a cult member, a moron, a Trumpster, from Oklahoma a Trumpett, among other things, when all I want to be is mayor of Silty Slough.
I can’t believe that not one Trump Hater will admit that these vote totals seem fishy. Are you that ignorant or is getting rid of Trump worth throwing away your morals and integrity. Not me. Count everyone’s legal vote and whoever wins I will go with that.
Remember it’s not over until it is over. Please message me for the Keto version, not sugar coated. Sorry for no pictures, it is dark out, the last time I flashed I got in trouble.
Kari’s quarantine is waved for the evening. We are having fried chicken and potatoes.
I wish you good health and safety my friends
Thank you Lord for the snow…and the chicken.
I’ll be in touch.

Goooood Morning Silty Slough!!
It’s a balmy 30 degrees with 18-20 inches of snow on the ground. Just had to say that after watching Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam the other night. When I ever refer to the other night it could be last night or any night within the past 6-8 years.
I made the big switch from slippers to snow boots for the trek to the outhouse this morning. Picture attached for proof. I forgot you had to tie them. I’m not in the habit of tying them anyway. The snow was really cold on my hands and bare legs when I got tangled in the laces and tripped. I got one caught in the snow machine track once. They are old so luckily it broke right off. I don’t have to worry about tripping on that one anymore.
Kari and I took the snow machines out yesterday afternoon and packed the trails. The boys had a great time in the snow. Teddy likes to ride. Cooper got so tired he finally gave in and rode back home in my lap. Kari gave her knee a good test and did fine. I think she picked up a few more degrees of flex.
From confidential sources and my view of Russia to the west of me, I hear Hunter Biden is going to be ambassador to Russia.
I see that A-10s are flying low over North Judson. Relax and get used to it, only going to increase. It’s Joe and Blow flying over to see if you are wearing your mask. The military spends millions of dollars to fly over Silty Slough every year just to check on me. Helps to have friends and family in the military. Thanks everyone for paying your taxes so I can wave to the C-130 making a low pass over the slough to check if we are ok. I like seeing your tax dollars at work for me. Still no noise from the Trump hater crickets. They must be hiding under a rock like Joe.
Kari and I are going to go out later to play some more in the snow. I made a couple trips down the ramp yesterday. I was surprised by the water that we call overflow for about 25 feet. It was just ice yesterday morning. Funny how millions of tons of snow press down on the icy river and cause the water to overflow. Could be science, global warming, another ice age age, who knows. I just know, stay out of the overflow and Walmart, either one has bad consequences.
That reminds me. Did you know that Al Gore made his acceptance speech 37 days before Bush was declared the winner?
Remember Yogi said “It’s not clean unless it is Oxyclean.” No that was somebody else…”It ain’t over til it’s over.” Like Gore’s case I hope it is, “Deja vu all over again”
Did you see this guy that Joe is having advise on the Chinese virus says that 75 years is long enough to live. The plan is really coming together kill the babies and kill off the old people. It is their fix for Social Security.
I just thought of another scam. Since I have a extra printers from the fake mayoral ballot operation, I can start printing fake documents to show you younger so the government doesn’t kill you at 75.
More on the mayors race after the mail plane arrives tomorrow with the last of the votes. You can still contribute to the candidates just send a picture of the cash.
Stay safe, warm, and healthy my friends.
Thank you Lord for the snow and a warm cabin to keep it off us.
I’ll be in touch.
Blue skies!!!
BTW orders are coming in fast for the “I Voted” Sharpies. Order soon before we run out. We still have a good supply of mail in ballots.

18 degrees at the Slough. The snow ended yesterday afternoon. It was still warm enough so the solar panels on the cabin roof shed and I got a whopping .4kw of free electricity. You are going to have to do better than that Joe if you are going to eliminate oil. Come on man…
Oh, I forgot you don’t work for me, let’s keep it that way. I already have a President.
Latest election news. It turns out the mail plane that delivers to Silty Slough is owned by Nancy Pelosi’s husband’s company. It figures since he makes millions leasing postal facilities to the government. Anyway they sent the mail in votes in an open cockpit bi-plane. The ballots I had mailed…I mean that were mailed in for Teddy got wet and are unreadable. I figured the used copy of the Hammer software I received would surely do the trick and we would still be ok. Teddy and I knew we could hide in the root cellar and not even have to campaign. We are going to win anyway, it is a given. Turns out the Hammer software is the original version and is still in Chinese. I just took a shot and checked some boxes and let the software do the voting, I mean the counting. The money train is on the way into the station.
The vote totals stand now at Cooper 267,420 votes and Teddy minus 3. I’ll have to get this straightened out. Right now Cooper is claiming to be mayor elect and taking all the chewbies. Teddy and I are thinking of getting a judge from Westminster Kennel Club to throw the whole thing out and have a new election.
I see that the vaccine is out. China just airfreighted a couple plane loads to Chile. They are cashing in right away because nobody in China has any money to spend on a vaccine. Why would you waist it there?
Trump haters were complaining about no vaccine now complaining about here too early, which way do you want it. I guess you are used to having it both ways.
Teddy and I are interested to see if Kamala is going to take hers orally or doggie style. Whatever that is. Something Teddy came up with.
Some of the Trump hater post are suggesting to come together. Where were you four years ago when your side lost? Will you feel the same if the election is reversed in the courts. I think not. The only thing I like about two faced people is they have the unique ability to kiss my arse with both faces.
Another group of posters are wondering when Trump is going to leave the country. What a bunch of mental giants to come up with that.
Ok my mind is back to the slough. Since Cooper is going to be 2 in a couple days Teddy is going to concede as a birthday present to him. Cooper is the new mayor of Silty Slough. I believe the money train has left the station without Teddy and I. I’m sure Cooper won’t hold a grudge, a good belly rub should get me a cushy job in the new administration. Ted and I are working on a book deal since that is what most politicians do when put out to pasture. Going to get Joe and Blow in with us. Teddy suggested “The Art of the Steal” for the title. If that doesn’t work out, Teddy and I are going into a new venture. “Slap a Snowflake” cards. Snowflakes are too stupid to slap, you just hand them the card. We could branch out, Karen’s, Trump Haters………send your suggestions. I will send your cash royalty by picture transfer system.
I wish you well my friends.
Thank you Lord for watching over us.
I’ll be in touch.

Wednesday November 18
Mr. Fahrenheit said it was 14 below zero when the boys woke me up to go out this morning. It’s about time to start wearing some pants. Sunrise will be in a few more minutes at 9:29. Sunset is at 4:12 that’s 6 hours and 43 minutes for old Sol to heat this ball up. He is hanging out pretty low in the sky so the rays arriving at a such a shallow angle don’t do much heating. Yesterday the temp was -13 and warmed up to a high of -1. In 33 more days the days will start getting longer, same everywhere, but I guess you people of science already knew that. Living at 62 degrees north latitude the swings from the shortest day to the longest are lot greater. On farther north a bit it doesn’t even get daylight for several weeks.
The big adventure yesterday was a trip to the post office with Roger. First time on the river for me this early in the season. Usually Kari and I don’t come out from town until after Christmas. The trail was good, it is to early for Roger to have it marked, a lot of the route is on the many sand bars along with crossing the main channel a couple times. There were a few spots of open water that were easy to spot from the fog rising from them. A couple spots had overflow that was a little mushy, but short, shallow, and not a problem. It is amazing that the water is not frozen when it is below zero. Some of you self appointed environmental scientists need to educate me on this or hook me up with your buddy Al Gore.
We picked up about 60 packages for the neighbors at Fish Lakes Creek area, everything you can think of from dog food to repair parts. I don’t know what everyone did before Amazon Prime. The only mail we had in our small condo #45 that we rent at the post office was election propaganda. We headed back down the river toward home. I feel fairly safe on the ice although one spot where we cross the mouth of the Skwentna River onto the Yentna I think about. In the summer I look at the depth finder on the boat and it is 30 feet deep there. Roger and I split up in Silty Slough and I rode up the ramp to the cabin. The mayor and his sidekick were excited to see me, it was like I’d been gone a week. Cooper turned 2 on Monday and he had me ask Kari to bake him a white cake with white frosting. I’m glad that’s my favorite too.
The next big project is marking and packing a runway and getting the Silty Slough Airport open for ski planes. I don’t want to miss out on any federal funding or huge landing fees the new mayor is charging.
I’m also starting a material list of everything we need to haul up here on our freight sleds. In addition to the normal gas, diesel, propane, dog food, kitty litter, and anything else that is heavy to last us until Jan 2022, I need 50 sheets of 1 1/8 inch plywood decking, metal for the roof, a septic tank and all the pipe for plumbing, windows, doors, and, and, and the list goes on and on. Good thing I was a freightdog in a previous life.
It’s time to get up and have another piece of Cooper’s birthday cake. I wonder what kind Teddy likes? I’ll bet I can guess by January.
Stay safe and healthy my friends!
Thank you Lord for watching over us.
I’ll be in touch.

The view from the outhouse.
Hello from Silty Slough. Thursday morning was a little cold -15, I don’t think it ever made it to zero all day. Friday was pretty good. Kari tried out her automatic washer for about 5 loads. The generator ran most of the day to power the electric dryer. I turned the heater off in the generator shed for the day because while the generator is running the heater just runs wide open, since the generator is sucking air from the outside through the outhouse. I figured out a control relay that will interrupt the thermostat circuit so the heater won’t run while the generator is running. That should save a little propane every day. We aren’t getting any solar power right now so the generator runs at least twice a day for an hour or so. Sometimes more depending on our electric useage.
We need to closely monitor the fuel supply because that is what keeps us warm and the lights on. At Wolf Lake I can go months without going in the boiler room and not even think about it. Out here since we are not connected to the pipe and the wire, I pay a little more attention.
I got on Amazon and found a fuel counter system. You just put a counter on your tanks and it reads out your quantities on your smartphone. Now I don’t have to go out in my underwear when it is 15 below to check.
Today I looked and I have 6700 gallons of diesel, 2700 gallons of gas, and 22,000 pounds of propane. We are good for the rest of my life. If you are interested this gadget for your system just look for Dominion Counting Systems on Amazon. I don’t know where all this fuel is coming from, maybe the system took some from the neighbors. Teddy and I are going to get a dealership since we were cheated out of the mayoral election. We are also working on a system to take a few bucks out of every Trump Haters bank account and transfer it to Teddy’s account. I’ll keep you posted in case you are interested.
The good Lord covered us with a blanket of clouds overnight so it really warmed up. I think it was about 25 today. Keeps this up it will be bad for ice fishing. A few snow machines have been going by. The boys have been going nuts barking at them. Mayor Cooper wants to charge a toll now for going through the slough. The river isn’t good enough to haul any heavy freight loads yet. If anyone is interested when it gets good I have a couple extra snow machines and sleds. I can guarantee it will be an adventure. March is a good time.
My cargo trailer made it to Indiana just about 1 year after I ordered it. Lots of roadblocks were in the way getting it picked up, heart surgery, the Chinese virus, weather, etc. Now I just need to be able to get through Canada to get the things I need from down south for the addition at Spruce Manor. I was hoping for May or June but it looks like everything is going the wrong way now.
In case I don’t get a chance to post before Thursday, everyone have a happy Thanksgiving. As bad as everything seems we still have a lot to be thankful for.
Stay safe and healthy my friends!
Thank you Lord for your many blessings.
I’ll be in touch.
