Magdalene’s Bootcamp Experience

They do have super fluffy thick fur, but they’re also pretty tough. Oh, and also like to warm themselves by the heating pad we leave outside for them :)
My cat doesn’t have as fluffy a coat, and seems to be doing fine so far! Not that she likes the snow...

Hello Magdalene,

I would like to ask if you have noticed any changes from undertaking your Bootcamp Experience 6 months ago?

Regards,
Alex

Post Scriptum. It is important in decks to allow 5mm gaps in between boards to allow drainage, also it is a good idea to have a protective barrier such as a PVC joist protector.
To reduce rotting of the Joists!

They have fur...  

Bobcats and mountain lions can handle the outside just fine.  Lynx really can but they have extra fur so it's not quite a fair comparison.  Plus they have a heated cat box to hang out in if needed at base camp.  Plus some nice kibble from time to time and some thermal mass from the buildings to take advantage of.

Nice spoon! Looks like you got just enough angle and scoop in it to make it comfortable to eat with.

I've had a hard time avoiding a little bumpity bumps in my finished products and it seems like you might have a little bit of the same. I expect it's a bit of the learning curve. I'm hoping I can get a really smooth tool finish on a spoon soon.

Please tell me about the douglas fir cookies.
Is that an edible thing? !!

Totally edible! Lots of vitamin c in the needles :) I guess that’s how northerners avoid scurvy.
The taste of the needles kinda went away after cooking, but they were still tasty!
