    Thanksgiving is a cruel joke for many. Instead of cheer and togetherness, it means anger, hatred, and endless arguments.

    I agree. Holidays in general just seem to be a setup for any family to fight over anything and everything.

    I'm looking at pictures today of people I loved who are all dead, cherish, forgive, apologize

    Mom is pulling out all the stops to try to stop the move, or at least make it into a "half move" where I spend a couple weeks here...

    So that's at least 3000 calories a day just to stay alive.

    4500 feet? Uh no, the land is more like 2800 feet. Yreka is 2500 feet, Hornbrook town itself is 2100. Yep, it's cold, but I tolerate cold far better than heat anyway. As for snow, I've been following the weather for several years, and snow levels tend to be around 3000 feet.

    There's really not much snow at land level anymore, and what falls tends to melt soon after the storm. I've seen radar images where the Shasta Valley, including up towards my land, is a blob of green (rain) in the middle of a blue (snow) sea. It used to be really snowy until global warming came along. In fact, AGW is a BIG reason for this whole thing.

    Well, the weather won't cooperate, so I'm putting the move off until at least January 2022. I don't want to battle holiday crowds.

    How does moving to rural property involve holiday crowds?

    There is 280 miles of freeway between here and there, and the freeway is the main north-south road on the US West Coast, so during the end of year holidays it is heavily traveled.

    The tiny home has electrical and water leak problems, and my uncle is helping his wife move into her new RV. So, Judgment Day is any guess.

    that’s unfortunate. Hope the issues aren’t too difficult & can get fixed up.

    3rd day without my Adderall, all because of California's unreasonable laws regarding "schedule medications".

    I encountered a similar issue with ADHD meds. The NHS GP said I can't get meds through the NHS because I had my ADHD diagnosis done privately. Seemed bizarre to me.

    Well, the US doesn't have anything like the UK NHS, but we do have strict controls on "schedule medications", basically anything that is considered a narcotic like amphetamine based ADHD meds and opioid pain meds. Some states are more strict than others. California is the strictest in the nation.

    BTW I managed to get my Adderall late yesterday, I managed to get my psychdoc to write a script. I will have to see a doctor every 30 days for a new script from now on.

    Try Google Chrome. It seems as if GoDaddy hosting has a problem with Firefox and second tier browsers like Pale Moon. So, Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge if you have a more recent version of Windows, 10 or 11. I have Linux on my PC so I have to use Chrome to access the websites I have with GoDaddy.

    I have to use Chrome just to log in to and use the GoDaddy site and to access the various dashboards they have.

    @oregano Judgment Day??? Is that what you're calling moving day, now??
    oregano
    oregano
    Yes, that's what I've been calling it for quite a while. The end of one "world" and the beginning of a new one. My mom was telling me for so long that there was no way I could truly live on my own without her that I came to see moving as the ultimate "do or die". The direct inspiration for the term is the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991).

    Being up north for 3 days made me realize how toxic the Greater Bay Area has become to my mental health.

    A week or two after I get back I will have it towed up there and placed on the blocks.

    Good luck friend, and I hope you can stay on here & chat too after you move to the new location.

    I've got a lead for internet access, it's a regional provider that uses cell phone towers to relay internet data. It's either that or satellite. Satellite is far more expensive though.

    The provider I'm looking at is called Digital Path and is based in Chico. They are in business specifically to serve areas in north California that are away from the main fiber optic cables with wireless internet.

    The area where my land is has suddenly acquired its own HOA. :( The guy who runs it lives in Torrance, CA, of all places. Lovely.

    I wrote the letter (two whole typed pages!) last night, made copies of what I was sent, and will send it when the post office opens at 9am to PacifiCorp in Portland. There are several other active landowners in that valley, including the guy who owns grazing rights and a couple people who train horses there. I suspect this loser will quickly find himself in a courtroom.

    Interfering with agriculture? Oh that will be fun to watch go down in court.

    The jury will, of course, consist mainly of ranchers-the economy is essentially cows and tourism.

    Portland is hell on earth-you apparently moved downtown in time for Antifa to smash the area to bits. And then there were the fires that almost consumed the entire tri-met area. A sudden wind change would have meant a staggering death toll, much more than 1906 San Francisco.

    Yes, I will have to have filters for water intended for drinking/cooking. I am aware that animals can poop in streams and creeks. I will have to be VERY cautious as to water sources.
    oregano

    The water in the Klamath River is undrinkable due to decades of farm runoff pollution. The river regularly gets "toxic algae" blooms that can kill. There's a reason Yreka's water supply comes from a tributary stream and not the river. There is another tributary stream near my land.
