Nature will attack and assimilate given the chance. Or kill you.

Or just make you really itchy.
Also this year – prep work for the bathroom. Yay demo work. I’m getting pretty good at removing drywall though.

My weak modernized body requires more frequent cleansing, and lake baths just don’t cut it. It’s amazing how much oil a set of human skin generates. May a shower be in the future.
On a more recreational note, fishing!
