Good morning, #nostriches!

I forgot to say that yesterday. Oops.

It's cold today, as you can see by the hoar frost:

By this point I've already:

Gotten up

Done a set of the breathing stuff

Joint mobility warmup

Pushups and body weight squats

Went outside on the deck barefoot to greet what little sun there is today

Drank salted water

Made eggs and tea for breakfast

Got the wood stove going

and started chatting with a bunch of people all over the world, including you nostriches.

I will be sipping my tea doing some reading through a second cup of tea, I may write some more, and then I have some errands to run. I may try to get my hairs cut while I'm out, in case I have a job interview. 😅

Until then, I'll be sitting in the rocking chair by the wood stove:

GM!

Thanks! I feel like there was a lot of waste. Looking into how to minimize that.

Trying out #olas. I got the engine running on the saw mill and milled my first board! #grownostr #homesteading

GM and Merry Christmas! Just waiting for the kids to wake up! #grownostr

GM Nostr! Official Christmas prime rib about to go on the smoker (we do our large gathering meal on Christmas Eve). #grownostr #foodstr

Absolutely. If you're going for a charcoal it's one if the best and you can find them used fairly easily. They also have a 14.5" and a 22".

I've got an 18.5" Weber smokey mountain.

Nice! I've had mine for years, but just recently have ramped up it's usage.

I got nominated to cook the prime rib for Christmas dinner. Since I have never done one before, I had to run the smoker and do a test run. Turned out delicious! #grownostr #foodstr.

My grandpa kept square bails in his barn. That was the best place for all of us cousins to play.

Same. just put a half cow, hog and a whole mess of cbickens in the freezer over the last couple of months. If the freezers were empty, I'd take the beef.

Bugs, grass, our food scraps (when we have them) and feed based on wheat, barley, flaxseed, and field peas.

We raise chickens for eggs and meat corn and soy free. Pigs are next for us. Difficult to impossible to find anything raised without corn and soy where we are.
