Having been a firefighter in my younger days, I encouraged my wife to join the volunteer fire department four years ago. I’ve been so impressed with the number of skills that she has learned and the capable, confident person she has become. Now our 19-year-old daughter is also on the department. An hour ago my daughter ran out the door to a single vehicle rollover and five minutes ago my wife left for a first responder medical call. It’s been a busy day. Four calls already in a town fewer than 3000.
If you ever want a bunch of paid training on everything from emergency driving to pump operation, high angle rescue, wildland firefighting, first aid, and structural fire suppression, consider volunteering today. It’s one of the most rewarding things you can do for your community. 
Literally the success and progress of a species is based on its ability to harness energy. Bunch of libtard, publicly educated gay ass retards.
Welcome to northern Alberta. Pretty short growing season.
I dream of homesteading in Costa Rica instead.
One of my fave 3. I’ve watched it likely 30 times.
The last of the garden finally off today. We are hitting -5°C overnight this week. Figured it was time to dig the last of the spuds.
The 8 potato boxes yielded about 80lb of tubers, but there sure were some weird ones in there.
This was the first time I ordered seed potatoes from a dedicated farm that produces them rather than using last year’s stock. I got Russet Burbanks, which are supposedly renowned for producing the long fry cuts in McDonald’s fries, and Sieglinde’s, which are known for their high yield.
The Russets ended up looking more like German Fingerlings for some reason, and lots that were fused together in weird shapes. The Sieglindes were pretty nice though. Lots of uniform large oval shaped potatoes that will be easy to peel and cube for canning.
With this year’s canning of potatoes and squash, the carrots and beets that have already been frozen, plus last year’s canning, the canned goods we have stashed and the deer I shot last weekend, we are pretty solid on emergency provisions.
I should end up with 20lb of the moose I helped my buddy cut up this week too.
The Lord has provided. 
That looks like Prime Whitetail country
Nothing. But I’m most CONCERNED about the time I’m losing daily through theft. Time with family. Time with friends. Time to explore God’s creation.
Is there a way to eliminate TikTok screen caps from your feed? If I agreed with using TikTok or supporting its use in any way, I’d remove my frontal lobe and and any thoughts of privacy advocacy and just download it.
Added which indignity they couldn’t even cut the stump flat and level.

It’s wild to consider that this Sturgeon could be 50-80 years old.
Fortune favours the bold. 🤙🏽
Wisdom is as much about what you don’t say in a given moment as what you do say.
Yes for sure. Been down this rabbit hole for a while. The funny thing is that I have local options to market my skills but I know from talking to others at those companies that the same ceiling exists. And the jobs themselves at those companies are nowhere near as enjoyable as my current scope of work most days. So I do have that going for me. It’s a fun job with no direct supervision.
Shame on me for ever believing the lie employment would get me anywhere. Go to school, get a six figure job, get a house. It’s a zero sum hamster wheel. I should have gone to trade school. At least I could be earning more sats and keeping things off the books.
