Pee-Pee Solution

Is it just me or do you also find that you need to pee in the middle of the night?

This being a common occurrence for both Jon and me, we decided that we needed a pee-pee solution for our trip that protected us from braving the cold, dark world outside of the van.

This is the solution and it is awesome.


It is hard to imagine my life now without the Duro-Med Non-Autoclavable Female Urinal. No more laying in a tent (or a van) wondering how long until morning and calculating how long I can hold it. No more putting shoes on, shivering in the dark and wondering if I'm splashing my shoes with pee splatter. 

If you like to camp, backpack or even travel long distances in a car, you need to buy this immediately. You won't regret it!

  1. Ok...I need to know...and you opened up the topic. But do you do this in the van with Jon there? If so, your marriage is much stronger than mine.

  2. Our marriage may not be stronger but it may be "earthier", as my father would say. Peeing occurs in van, in presence of Jon. Please don't think any less of us... :)

Boeke Prospective City Analysis Matrix AND House Walk Through!

Several people have asked us how we picked Fort Collins as a place to live so I thought I would share the story with all of you. Or rather, the Matrix. Because that is how we decided. We called it the Prospective City Analysis and this is what it looked like (click to enlarge): Once we were mostly done filling in the Matrix (we had a hard time finding some city data), we sat on it for awhile and "tried out" the front runners in our heads. That would be why we told some of you that we were going to live in Durango...or Prescott...or Seattle...or Manitou Springs (a late entry after the Matrix was completed). But each time, something didn't feel quite right to us so we would move on to the next place on our radar, hoping something would stick.  And Fort Collins did. It didn't wither under the intense scrutiny that I put it under and when we got here to do our final "walk through", it felt right.  And that feeling hasn't gone away. I love that I can ge...

Chickens Are Scarier Than Crows, Didn't You Know?

The garden is in!  If our Scarechicken does its job, we will soon have a nice crop of heirloom tomatoes, onions, hot peppers, green beans, basil, parsley and thyme! Huge thanks to my parents for their help getting the area ready. It was a jungle!

DIY Wort Chiller

We here at Curious Souls H.Q. are always looking for ways to save a buck or two. So, when shopping around online for a wort chiller for home brewing, we found the following prices: $65 @ Midwest (plus shipping) $70 @ Northern (plus shipping) $39 @ Amazon (plus shipping) So, off to the hardware store... 3/8" (internal diameter) Vinyl Tubing (10 feet) = $4.15 Sink to hose adapter (varies based on your type of sink) = $4.79 3/8" X 20' Copper Tubing = $24.13 Vinyl Hose Coupler = $2.49 Hose clamps (x2)  = $1.70 Band-aids (x2 or x3 or x4) = $1.00 For a total of $38.26 (pre-tax, no shipping), we decided to roll our own. Here's how it went down... ( vid link ) And, of course, there is the joy of having made something all by yourself! Priceless & fun!
