New Word for today is : hinterland
Henry is going love getting to drive in the hinterland

Hello world
All is good here at my homestead turf, after a very busy week. Am I retired or what?
Henry is still in a holding pattern while I do a little fund raising. I have got slack on other things trying shorten this down time. A few small things around the house had to be updated, but poor Abner was having to carry all the work load in the transportation department. He was on the run all the time. I had some down time from working on Henry so I was going caching and doing a lot of other running around, and Abner was on the run with me every day. He was doing this without any attention at all.
He started to squeal like a pig. I couldn't stand to hear that, he is my life line to the rest of the world. I use some of Henry's funds, he don't mind, and give Abner some way over due maintenance. Abner is like me and as some age on him. He don't keep up with his years. He likes to say how many miles he has been. He has 300,000 miles behind him. After his week of getting fix up and a new outfit, He is happy again.

hinterland = back country

I had a friend where I use to work, that was a older gent.
He was a bee keeper when he was a young man. His money came when he sold honey. The price was better some years than other years. But he always save up to buy stuff by the honey bucket. He would say something like, I am going to get a new set of tires when I get 14 buckets of honey.

I am having to budget Henry. I am going to use the honey bucket as a
partly make belive and party coded
way of talking, so I can keep up with it here mostly for fun and a little reminder. I will be the only one that knows the value of the play honey.
