I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but it has (and will continue to be) a personal challenge for me to reach the next BB milestone. I made it my mission to get to BB10 this weekend, and it is only Saturday evening. I did it. I built a birdhouse, rehabbed another one, snaked my kitchen sink, built an open top toolbox, and made a "turtle x-ing" sign and put it on a bike trail next to an actual turtle crossing.

In addition, for no BB points, I transplanted two cold-tolerant Indiana bamboo plants to the back of my backyard in two former horseshoe pits.

I'm tired. I'm stoked. I'm so on board with this.

I'll never inherit property and I don't need to, but for my own purposes, on my own property, I hope to get to PEP1 as soon as possible, and to PEP3 within a couple of years. With help from y'all, and I'd assume a couple of visits to  Paul's place in Montana. Love y'alls.

Congratulations!

I hope you enjoyed that endeavor and will reach for BB15 if there is such a thing!
