Just read this whole thread. Not sure how I had missed it before, what with it being 113 pages and all.
Quad, you do some excellent work. You're maybe a bit too hard on yourself, or a bit too ambitious on what you think one person can get done in a day. Some of these "bad days" I've seen you post about in here look like you got more done than I get done most of my "good" days, and I'm only in my 30's. Don't sweat the little stuff!
On the weather subject, I see why some people live in the north. I'm living in northern Canada right now, and the summers here are incredible. Mid 70's and sunny every single day. No humidity. 18+ hours of daylight. Amazing. The other 11 months of the year suck, though.
I've almost got my wife on board for selling our RV and building up some sort of army van chassis (maybe an LMTV or MTV). Just gotta find the right one and get the RV stuck in the yard once or twice more and I'm sure I'll be able to make it happen.
