This
summer while not as hot as some is still a very hot one and if you have
been to the shop lately you know the temperature inside has reached the
100's regularly. We really need to get some temperature control in the shop. We
had originally hoped to be moved to a more permanent and expandable location by now,
but at this point are committed to stay and help my declining, aging
parents. So the question is: To cool? or not to cool? and hopefully soon it will be: To heat? or not to heat?
This quote below really struck a chord for us, it is how we are trying to live our life of mesquite, so we needed to share it:
This quote below really struck a chord for us, it is how we are trying to live our life of mesquite, so we needed to share it:
"Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential — as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth.You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them.To invent your own life’s meaning is not easy, but it’s still allowed, and I think you’ll be happier for the trouble".- Calvin and Hobbs creator Bill Watterson
