Buttered Side Down

I want to know why fate does this. I've been on the road now for over a year and half. Since we have two 30 gallon propane tanks in the RV. You switch from one tank to the other when one runs empty. Needless to say, it always runs empty on one tank in the middle of the night. It's like the toast you drop, does it always land buttered side down. I'll hear the heater click on and fail to light. It'a always 3 AM in the morning. Getting up out of bed at that time of the morning to go outside, to switch to the other tank wakes me up to the point I never get back to sleep immediately. I mean it never fails.

Noise Pollution Rant from the Flyers

Noise Pollution 

I was up this evening late do to an attack of insomnia.  While watching the flyers and listening to the noise from the road.  It's terrible, the amount of trucks and cars that have no mufflers or loud mufflers.  Here I am in the interior of Alaska and you wouldn't believe the noise pollution we are subjected too.  It seems there is so many here that believe the manly thing to have is a loud truck or car. They rev the engines and speed down the road as fast as they can making as much noise as they can.  Spoiling the very thing we long to have by living in the such unspoiled beauty that Alaska is suppose to represent.   Living here as long as I have, I've come to some conclusions.  The end of the roaders have taken over.   They brought everything they are trying to escape from here with them so they won't feel so alone.   Sad but true and now they are Alaskans living the dream.  More like a nightmare of noise and inconsideration for others. 

New Snow

Grumpy Gus says it's snowing 

I'm still having sleep problems and it's snowing...  Making me a grumpy old squirrel

Sleepless in North Pole

Topsy Turvy Sleep Patterns

I was chatting with the old squirrel yesterday about my insomnia problem.  It kicked in big time in the last couple of days.  Here it is 5:00 AM and I've been up since 1:30 AM.   I'm sleepy now so I may just try to slip back into the bed and try to get some rest.   The old squirrel said, it's because I let them Northern Flyers on the feeders.  They don't sleep at night either he told me.  

Another Sleepless Night on the Ranch

This flyer wanted to know why I'm awake 

3 AM rolled around and I'm up and the flyers are looking through the window at me like I'm nuts.  They may be right.

Insonmia Strikes

2:35 AM and I'm awake watching the News and surfing the web. Just a note to those who are reading this blog in the middle of the night. I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one but I know better, between the night owls and others afflicted with this curse we are here. Out in the darkness, bathed in the glow of the computer and TV screens.
