It was a very long and wet spring and early summer but now that the rains have stopped I have finally been able to get to the "spring"  work on the outdoor play area. I still have  several days of mowing to do in the backyard, then will install a whipping post and an outdoor rack. I had not been planning on an outdoor rack but am installing it and the post for a Domme friend who occasionally uses my place when she comes to North Dakota.

I need to research rack designs.

Ladies, please write something about yourself on your profile. A list of kinks is only of mild interest to me. I am much more interested in who you are as a person.

I regard vacant profiles as either fakes or flakes.

My hens are finally laying again. They are free range, so every day used to be an Easter Egg Hunt around here. But now one of my German Shepherds has taken up the hunt. The amusing thing is, he does not eat them or harm the eggs, he just picks them up and brings them to the house. Now I wake up in the morning and find eggs laying around the front yard!

I am trying to build an airplane. A real airplane, not a model. However the plans are in French and I do not read French.  This is going to be a problem.

My cats keep hiding the remotes for the TV and sound system. Sneaky little bastards!

I almost managed to make it through a winter without snow! However I woke up Sunday morning with about six inches of powder. Not enough to be a problem but just enough to make the countryside beautiful.

I know I have mentioned this before, but please write something about yourself on your profile before contacting me. The likes and dislikes on a kink list tell me nothing about you as a person. And  please refer to yourself in the first person. Be a human being with a mind, not a thing.

This house really does need a woman's touch.  I am very creative in many ways, but I can't decorate a house to save my life. I want this place to look like, and be, a home. However I do have one hard limit when it comes to decoration: I pick the paint. This living room will never have pink walls again!!

FYI: Easylonna is a FAKE profile. The profile pic is a stock photo appearing on at least five different sites and a quick look at the Interests indicates some very obvious inconsistencies.

She may be vanilla but I think there is a possibility that she may convertible over to our side.  I am not going to give up on this one yet.

For some time I have been chatting with a very nice woman who contacted me on a vanilla website. I had completely forgot that I had a profile there until I received her message. Throughout our chats I have discovered that we have a lot in common and I am finding that I like her very much. I am now at the point where I either meet her, or say goodbye and forget about her.

I am hesitant about meeting her because she is vanilla. I have tried to go vanilla before and that has never worked for me. It would be even more difficult now. In the past when I have tried to turn my back on the Dominate and kinky part of my life I did not have any friends in the BDSM lifestyle.  That has changed. Now my closest friends are people I have met through this site. I love them and can not imagine leaving them. So here I am again, alone but with the chance to have something. But having her would mean that I must leave so much behind. Once again I must chose the "alone" option.

I see that the formatting issues continue. I'd use this site more if what I wrote would appear as I intended.

Now is the summer of our discontent

 Yeah, I know Shakespeare wrote "winter" rather than "summer." Richard III, while not of of my favorites among the Bard's is still quite good.

After three consecutive record breaking winters I was hoping that life would be better once summer came. I never imagined that things would become so much worse. The tragedy in my own family was extremely heartbreaking, but at least I had some time to prepare myself for the pain that I knew would come. Then the flooding came. So many of my friends have lost everything they owned. It is said "it's only stuff that can be replaced" but that is not true. Scrap books containing rare photos of long passed ancestors, family Bibles, heirlooms. All gone. Now people are forced out of their homes and must start over with nothing. My heart breaks for them. I told myself that this is as bad as things can get. And then a friend was murdered.

However in Act 1, Scene 1, Gloster continues.....

He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber

To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.

Where is my Lady with a lute?

WTF is a slave school? Are they taught to sit, stay, heel? Don't chase the cat and stop chewing on furniture? And who certifies Masters? When I used to shoot on a regular basis I qualified as Pistol Master, but I don't wear my old marksmanship badges to munches. I view the pedantic use of titles to be rather annoying.  The BDSM "lifestyle" is full of instant Internet Sir Lord Bubbas.

I'd like to find a slave whose vocabulary still contains the words I, me, and no.

Ladies, if you are NOT willing to relocate, please uncheck the little box next to "Willing To Relocate" on your profile!!!!

This has been quite an unusual winter so far. The snowfall is above average for a third consecutive year however unlike the past two winters, I've seldom been snowed in. I attribute to the fact the so far the majority of the very strong winds have come from the southeast rather than northwest. Due to the lay of the land, the sections of my township road which usually drift shut after a great deal of snow have remained open.  There is a downside to this, but I consider it a minor inconvenience when compared to the past two winters. The trees on my property are planted to protect me from north and west winds, and there is no protection at all to the east and south. Therefore my driveway is slowly filling with snow and I now have to park my car  100 yards from the house.  But I'd rather have to walk a ways to my car and be able to drive away then have the car parked next to the house and be able to go nowhere.

It's been a good year for snowshoeing out on the prairie however I've learned not to get too close to the moose. The damn things are just too unpredictable. Being charged once by a bull moose was enough to satisfy my curiosity.

I particularly enjoy walking across the white prairie on still moonlit nights. Orion shines brightly in the south and Ursa Major, the Big Dipper, dominates the northern sky. Occasionally I can catch a glimmer of Aurora Borealis far off  in the northeast but due to continued low sunspot activity the Aurora remains a bit disappointing. I do wish I could find the right woman to join me in my moonlight wandering across the prairie. As a Dom I am not too difficult to please. Unfortunately too many women are intimidated by the thought of living far from town in the winter.

Life out here can be hard at times, but most of the time is isn't difficult with proper preparation. The challenge is much more psychological than physical. I believe that almost anyone can learn to thrive out here if they have the courage to try.

What's in a name?

In spite of what Shakespeare would have us believe, quite a bit. If your user name includes the words whore, slut, cunt, bitch, or cum you are probably not what I am looking for. I am looking for a woman who thinks enough of herself to have at least some dignity in her user name.

What does my user name mean? It's simply the Dakota Sioux word for "wolf." When I was a child the neighbor lady  tired to teach me her language and this is one of the few words I still recall.  It's pronounced Shunk Toke Tcha.

I continue to be discouraged by the lack of substantive information in far too many profiles. The check list of interests and activities is somewhat useful in sorting out some who are not compatible with me. For example, if I see that someone dislikes Christianity I know that we are not going to mix well so I move on to the next profile. But beyond that the checklist tells me nothing about a woman. I need to know more, so I look at what people write about themselves on their profiles and journals. If there is nothing there I keep moving.

And if you do write something on your profile, PLEASE give some thought to your font and background colors. Use a combination that is readable.

Well I see that my lest entry worked so I'll write a bit more.

People often ask me why I have never collared anyone in the thirty-some years that I have been involved with BDSM. The answer is rather simple, I regard collaring someone to be a permanent commitment. When I do collar someone she will also get a ring and marriage vows.

I would like to write on here more often, but the formatting that this site uses for journaling always seems to be totally fucked up! As I write this I have a black background and black font. I've tried to change background color, font color, font type, font size, etc. but nothing works. I can not even see what I am writing as I make this journal entry. This is highly annoying!!!!! I will hit save and hope that something appears.
