Year 6, Day 95. “Living the Dream”. Monday, 8/03/2026, Clifty Hill 3. Framing Day 3. Cooler overcast day with sprinkles of rain on and off. Great day to be working outside.
Front of the home was leveled and is ready for a large lumber delivery tomorrow morning. The main girder and floor joists are going up nicely. The joke here is I now have a pergola. Haha – they are so funnny.
Supply ordering is going along well. Things do take time to come in though. Feeling younger this afternoon. I am NOT a Baby boomer, but a Generation Jones. So not reflecting myself as a baby boomer any longer. I never felt like a baby boomer anyway. Generation Jones is a demographic generation born between 1954 and 1965. This term represents the late-wave Baby Boomers or the group right before Generation X. We were still children during the 1960s cultural shifts and missed out on events like Woodstock and fighting in the Vietnam War. We witnessed the passion of the 1960s civil rights and anti-war movements as children, but were too young to participate. We generally have an idealized worldview tempered by harsh realities. We witnessed massive institutional breaches of trust, most notably the Watergate scandal. Our generation was promised the grand prosperity of the post-war boom as children, but entered a harsh economic reality when we came of age. It also reflects the concept of “keeping up with the Joneses” We entered the workforce during the 1970s stagflation, high unemployment, double-digit mortgage rates, and recessions. This left us deeply craving—or “jonesing” for—the financial security of what our older siblings achieved. Can you guess why I am thinking about age? Yup the birthday is coming up.

Daily Reflection:
Here’s a link to today’s Amazon recommendation: https://amzn.to/4z8YvEo GRANNY SAYS Storage Bins with Lids These closet storage boxes are excellent quality and look great sitting on your closet shelf. They are a nice size and come in a three packs. I have six of them now. One of the best parts is that they have lids keep the items inside out of sight and dust free. They also have card holders to remind you of what is hidden in each box.
