Well excuse me, milady 😋

It's a under talked about aspect of life and it's sad to say that .. most people are like how do I make more Money 💰

Me: how do I love more simple , work less and be present..

Maybe it's the cheat code to life 🧬 🤔

I lost my shake streak on Friday

But it was fun

So who cares

Thoughts 💭 writing 📜

I can't even begin to explain the empowerment of working for yourself! It's all about choice: choosing your hours, choosing your workload, choosing your rates. No more asking permission for time off – just pure, unadulterated freedom to control your life. Money is important, absolutely, but that freedom? It's everything.

Thank you ma’am 😊

Yes I usually keep three of them in my 72 hour “go bag“. Sometimes I’ll substitute cooked and then re-dehydrated rigatoni noodles or cooked and dehydrated Barley or rice for the Orzo. Or switch up the broccoli with dehydrated carrot slices. Or use powdered chicken soup base instead of Oxo beef powder.

Yes. Once all of the ingredients are dehydrated I just put them all in a 8“ x 5“ mylar bag and vacuum seal the Mylar bag in a vac bag with the rehydration instructions. We are usually about an hour away from home so it’s nice to pack light.

I took the last of the Red Onions since I didn’t grow a ton of them. I sliced and dehydrated and vacuum sealed them for use in the 5oz dehydrated instant soups I make for hunting. 4-5 dry ounces feeds two adults with a mix of dehydrated onion, orzo pasta, broccoli, tomatoes, salt, chili peppers and celery. Then a separate 2 tbsp pak of beef or chicken bouillon powder. All you do is put it in a pot of water before you go out for your afternoon hunt, and after about four hours it has rehydrated to the point where you can just warm it up on the Coleman stove or the fire. These USB rechargeable jar sealers and O2 absorbers do the trick. #prepping #grownostr

Cheese is the best. It’s my favorite and only snack 😂

I used to fry it but actually like it best cold and sliced. But super cheese is a nice wrinkle 👌

Not so light at night anymore

#farmupdate

Cracked pepper and sea salt on a plate, mash cheese slice into particulate. I call it super cheese 🔥

Craziest thing today. It’s about 2pm and I stop at one of my worksites to monitor progress and make sure the guys are going to be able to finish their job by end of day so we are free to go to a new job tomorrow. So I’m talking to my one operator and all of a sudden I feel a sting on my left bicep. I say “Oh shit” and lift up my sleeve. Me and my operator are staring at this little bastard wasp still gyrating his rear end into me like it was giving my arm a deluxe lap dance. No big deal, I just picked it off and continued talking to our guy. I bid the crew farewell and walked to my truck.

All of a sudden I start feeling just…..weird. My entire body starts itching, my neck starts swelling, and even my eardrums start feel like they are inflating like little balloons.

I instantly put two and two together that I was having an allergic reaction. So I wheel around to the nearest corner store to see if they have any Benadryl, and by some miracle they did. I dropped two tabs and continued north to my next estimate.

I got about 3 miles north of town and the itching and ear pressure is getting worse, and I could tell the lymph nodes in my neck were really swollen. Then slowly I start feeling this pressure in my chest as I continued driving.

Having been a first responder and first aid attendant years ago, I immediately knew this was the onset of anaphylaxis. My skin was getting clammy, the hairs on my arms were standing on end, and I felt a distinct chill.

I’ve been stung by countless wasps and insects over the years, and have never experienced anything beyond a little localized swelling.

So I decided what the heck, I might as well take advantage of the fact that I’m not in severe cardiac or respiratory distress and go to Emerg.

So here I am now, two shots of epinephrine, one shot of methylprednisolone, a bag of saline and a cautionary EKG later, waiting while the doctor monitors me for a few more hours. I feel like I could have left long ago, but they just want to make sure I’m not going to need another shot of epi. My arm kind of looks like a balloon though. Hard to believe all this from a wasp that was only half an inch long at most.

It looks like I’m going to want to pack an epi pen with me when I’m in the bush from now on.

Haven’t been on in a while, but I wanted to share today’s garden harvest. These are the first Patty pans, cukes and eggplant of the season. Also, my first and only harvest from my peach tree. The dang squirrels keep eating all the peaches. Made squash casserole with squash and onions I grew for dinner and added hamburger meat. It was really good.

That’s what it’s all about right there

I’ve got plans this weekend now!

He doesn’t have to put on a show…he just exists, and somehow that’s enough. When he’s near, my body forgets the need to guard itself. My breath slows. My heart settles. It’s as if my whole being remembers what peace feels like when it’s finally safe.

Most people never find that. They’re too busy chasing sparks…those quick, wild flashes that light up the sky and disappear before you even know what they meant. Sparks are beautiful, sure, but they’re fickle. They’ll never steady your trembling hands or quiet the storm in your mind. You can’t build a life on something that burns out before morning.

But real love…real love is quieter than that. It feels like remembering a song you’ve always known the words to. Like coming home to a place you didn’t realize was missing.

It lasts, not because it demands your attention, but because it never has to. It stays…not for show, not for drama, but because it was always meant to.

Hey butthead 👋🏼 😂 thanks for the kind words 😇 I appreciate that ... Yeah it's been tough in the background lately work wise... Things are still in transition but moiving forward positively.. YT channel starting soon and hope you can join ( subscribe ) when it hits the market

... I'll be posting more on this matter shortly.

"Getting Back to Basics: Reclaiming What Truly Matters"

" THIS IS A TRUTH POST FOR ME 🙏🏼 "

It's a strange feeling, being let go from something you poured your heart into. Especially when the values you held dear – client well-being, genuine connection, and frankly, family – got overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of profit. That's exactly what happened when my vision for a client-first landscaping company clashed with their insatiable hunger for the bottom line.

My priority was always clear: supporting my wife through her battle with cancer and being present for our three kids. That meant being available for appointments, being a true family man, and finding a balance where work served life, not the other way around. They chose money. I chose my family. And ultimately, I was fired for it.

But sometimes, getting knocked down is the universe's way of telling you to get back to your roots. This isn't about doing something wrong; it's about humbling myself, shedding the corporate greed, and rediscovering the genuine engagement and joy that first drew me to this work.

Now, I'm starting from the ground up, doing my own thing. It's about remembering why I loved landscaping in the first place – the honest work, the satisfied clients, and the ability to build something beautiful with my own hands. More importantly, it's about building a life where I'm truly present for my family, finding happiness and enjoyment in every small victory, and proving that you don't need to chase endless wealth to find true fulfillment.

This is my journey back to basics, back to genuine purpose, and back to myself.

It's a beautiful day—may it bring you joy and inspire you to uplift others. Smiles, hugs, and handshakes cost nothing, so share them freely.

In the chaos of life, let's take a moment to slow down and cherish what we can control.

Put a rugged 24km hike in the books today. Feeling exhausted, and recharged at the same time.

Gm nostr, we'll be getting ready for church, but first i need to check the baby chicks to see how they fared in their new coop. I walked outside this morning and saw this pretty sky, so maybe that's TJ telling me she's ok, chasing racoons in doggie heaven. Yall have a great sunday, enjoy your coffee, and remember that today is a gift. #coffeechain #homesteading

Haha 😂 so much fun ... we're going to watch 28 years later in about 15 minutes 🍿🎥

There was a time when a man could build a house with his hands, raise kids with values, and trust his food didn’t come from a lab.

Now? He’s told to wear polyester, eat bugs, and “own nothing.” What the hell are we doing?

Mining for SATs ✅

Mowing for SATs ✅

Strawberry jam for SATs trying 😂 it's a long shot....❓

We've been using this one kinda basic but works .
