Interesting comments on working naked from home. Cool website.

Awesome weekend in the country at our acreage in Bastrop County. Spent a lot of time repairing the washed out creek crossings. We had two major crossings wash out. We started on the more critical which consisted of rows of 80 pound bags of concrete followed by rows of railroad ties all connected by rebar steel. It was a lot of work and having the right tools such

as a tractor with a frontend loader made a huge difference. Sometimes I worked in the nude, sometimes not. I am pretty cautious so the question came to my mind, “What tasks am I willing to perform nude and what ones do I feel are just too unsafe? Here is a list of tasks. You decide what you would have done in what state of dress. Shoes are assumed for all tasks.

Clearing brush by hand and chain saw and hauling out of the way on loose gravel hill.

Gathering existing railroad ties that washed out of the crossing (aided by tractor with a chain.)

Using tractor to pull up steel posts that were bent by the flood with aid of chain.

Using tractor to push, pull, lift gravel back to proper places to begin building bridge.

Using shovel to level base for walls of bridge.

Carrying 80 lb bags of concrete and placing on leveled area, involves loose gravel on steep grades.

Cutting rebar pieces with a saws-all

Driving rebar pieces into layers of bags so that the wall will cure solid.

Putting railroad ties in place on top of concrete – tractor and lifting by hand.

Cutting ties with chain saw to make wall fit.

Drilling holes in ties so that they can be tied together with rebar.

Driving rebar into ties.

Using tractor and shovel to fill in behind wall to level.

Taking picture with wife after task is done.

Did I mention we killed a copperhead while working this weekend as well.

So starting in order by things I would absolutely not do naked to “it depends” to why would I not be nude, here is how I see things. Clearing brush by hand and chain saws are both meant to be done clothed with gloves, long sleves and pants. Too much stuff scrapes, bites, tears, trips, cuts with these activities. I value all my parts including my skin and I would like to keep them working and intact. Driving the tractor with no clothes is not to big of an issue unless branches are getting caught in the ROPS and popping back and hitting you. If I am getting on and off, I generally at least wear shorts and a shirt. Again, too many things that can go wrong, get caught or squeezed. Using a shovel is a no-brainer for no clothes. It is cooler and makes the work go smoother. Cutting steel I wear at least shorts and a shirt. Those hot steel flakes burn. The drilling and driving of rebar, I only wore gloves and shoes. I wore clothes while carrying heavy items because they were rubbing next to me as I carried them.

All in all, we worked hard and had a good weekend. I would be interested in tasks you do/did nude and clothed and why.

Three miles of nudity, some sun, and very wet ground. It was wonderful. The grass was high and wet on my trails so my feet were soaked but who cares when we can finally get out and expose our bodies to the wind, the sun, the shade, and just our heightened sense of touch. Very few bugs due to a nice wind but the spiders are starting to weave webs across the trails. Just a great time of year.

This week promises to be a little drier.  Maybe more time out being nude. If you are reading my blog, email me at naturisttom47 at gmail.com (replace at with @). I would love to hear your stories and comments. 

Have a great week - go naked - enjoy your body - have fun

No hiking, no sex, rain all day.

BLAH!

Maybe tomorrow.

Rain! We have been drought ridden so long we are all afraid to complain about the tremendous amounts of rain we have been getting. It has my place so muddy and wet you can not walk comfortably. The good news is it will go away and I can shed my clothes and enjoy the sun and very green grasses as I swat at a new generation of mosquitoes.  God made them way too prolific.

On a rainy afternoon like today, I would love to be in bed with my wife having passionate fun sex, but that does not seem to be in older women's vocabulary. So I sit frustrated and dreaming of days past.....remember the time on the deck of the sailboat on Lake Travis......

To all nudists or want to be nudists out there, have a great rainy afternoon.

The work of many acres really gets in the way of my "air baths" as Ben Franklin used to call his walks in the nude. We have had so much rain that the trails I cut are constantly growing up to the point I have to mow them before I can hike again. Then the rain washed out much of our roads so I am repairing those as well as helping neighbors with theirs.

I do enjoy the hiking though when the Sun is not bearing down quite so hot. The humidity still brings out the sweat though and when I do get to hike, I come back with a full sheen of exertion. I love being nude in the wild.

I did make the run at Star Ranch in McDade. Great fun if you did not go. Nice cool day and I beat the time I hoped for.

Peace and God's blessing on you and your activities today.

It seems as though it has rained and been cold forever. Earlier this week the Sun broke through and the rain and cold were held at bay. I was able to go to the country, shed my clothes and enjoy the feel of the wind and the sun and the feel of nature touching me all over. Unfortunately, I had to work and catch up on several tasks, but doing them in the nude was awesome and made all of the tasks enjoyable.  Today promises to be another beautiful day. The birds are out, wildflowers are starting to bloom, and one of the best things is the insects have not yet arrived in full force. Being nude is wonderful.

My biggest disappointment though is my preparation for the 5K over at Starr Ranch on April 11. I suppose I will not run the whole race but enjoy a walk with other not so in shape nudists. When I was younger I could always get in shape for a race in just a few weeks, but not any longer. Come walk the race with us. Here is the link .http://www.starranch.net/
