Had to cover everything up last night AGAIN as the overnight lows were to be close to freezing. Indeed when I woke up it was unseasonably cold. It’s such a balance between maximizing the already short growing season here and risking plant loss. Every year is a new education. Looking forward to having a large greenhouse one day so I have greater control over the transition to the outdoors. 
It’s kind of cool after the adrenaline wears off to realize that you charged forward in the face of it. I’ve been full on attacked with no provocation by 2 different medium sized and 1 large breed dog in the past 10 years. Two of them did backflips and landed on their backs when my steel toe met their jaw. Bought me J ust enough time to get the F outta there. The most recent one, a big male Great Pyrenees, got it in the snout with my metal surveyors clipboard, which I was holding in both hands in front of me like a shield, all 6 times it came at me, fully friggin airborne. It really wanted to kill me. Time slowed down, but it was funny looking back on each incident. I remember just getting really mad, snapping into a stance, and reacting. The owners of the last one replaced the $120 hoody whose sleeve got partly ripped off when I sidestepped and the dog sailed past me and just caught my wrist with his teeth on the way by. Just barely broke the skin. I talked to the owner on the phone the next day because he called to suckhole me into not reporting it, and he admitted he got the whole incident on video from his security camera. Man I wish I could have had that footage. He said he could tell that I had some training, lol. I’ve since started carrying dog deterrent spray just in case. But these were interesting insights into what I did those 3 times when faced with fight or flight.
Possibly the cutest video you’ll see today.

Can’t wait for Fall already. Only 88 days till deer season hits again. Getting out with good friends on weekends from now till then to pre-scout and set game cams. Harvesting next winter’s firewood on Saturdays just to get up into the bush before the season. And tailgate lunches with cold beers by the fire. I wish I could just stay out there for good. 
Interesting that the structures that make up galactic clusters and superclusters are strikingly similar to the structures that connect neurons in the brain. 
My fave place to hang out too. Even if no one else is home. 
Works of art! Those would be amazing for no-spin throwing. I got a set of 6 hand forged Sharp Blades Arrows from the Czech Republic a couple years ago and they’ve been awesome in the end grain target I built. Expensive but nearly indestructible with the chromium content in the steel.
This was an enlightening and insightful rip with Erik Cason on The Bitcoin Podcast. Looking forward to reading his book, Crypto Sovereignty.

If you’re God, truth is objective. If you’re human, I believe it can only be subjective. Humans are led entirely by incentives. God is not led by anything. He just is.
Perfect technique right here. We have much to learn from animals. 
I eat it with my mouth. Lol
It is called The Winter Harvest Handbook by Eliot Coleman. It is great.
I just started this book and it has amazing info regarding harvesting all year. My sister went and got her horticultural degree a couple years ago and she recommended it to me.
