    I'm thinking a Jorn/Pete partnership in an Airbnb venture using Pete's Airstream and Jorn's woods...Mike has some time to manage the project.

    You just caused Pete to curl up into the fetal position.

    I think an Airstream would turn into Mousedale pretty quickly out in the back 40.

    I have thought about a quonset hut though. You know, something simple.



    But I understand they can be like Doritos, and I wouldn't want to clutter up the place.

    Lots of quonset dwellers in NW Arizona. Some even have indoor plumbing. The rattlesnakes keep the rodent population in check. The Chaparral Birds keep the rattlesnake population under control, mostly.

    The most "dinosaur" of the birds. We get them in the yard all the time. Probably hiding from Wile E.

    It's amazing how these birds kill their prey. I've seen them bash lizards to death in my back yard.

    I love this bike!

    Betting the neighbors, especially the house just to the left of the "huts", are less than overjoyed with this project, might be ok in some settings but not there.
