Calves are adjusting well to their new living arrangements. No cows tore down any gates to get back to their calves.
They'll stay confined in this section of the corral for a few more days then they can be let out to the adjacent paddocks.

Don't Tread on Me...
Or Creeping Death, or Wherever I May Roam, or maybe The Call of Ktulu.
Why must we pick one?
What happens when guys from four or five different death metal bands hang out together in their spare time?
They start a new gothic rock band, of course.
It's time for Metal Transmitted by Relays, and for the past few weeks, we've been deep in the dark depths of extreme metal, so let's hear something a bit more accessible.
Cemetery Skyline is a new band that is compromised of members from well known Death Metal groups Dark Tranquillity, Insomniun, Amorphis, Dimmu Borgir, Sentenced, and others...
but it isn't Death Metal. They're recording their version of 90's and 2000's gothic, which they're calling Nordic Gothic. And it just so happens that they're releasing their album next Friday, October 11th.

Previous notes in this series here.
Brought the cattle up to the corral this morning.
Calves got sorted off, dewormed, and weaned. Bull calves got banded.

Interesting.
Sounds like agorism to me. But they had a failure of OPSEC somewhere.
Don't you dare try to breed larger sheep without permission from the state.
If only government cared as much about human health as it does for the supposed health of wildlife.
(It seems the hurricane response news has me in a very anti-government mood this week.)

Set up some furnished canvas tents. Yurts also seem to be popular, but I think a bit more pricey/complex.
Perhaps a small pavilion with fire pit and outdoor cooking area.

He didn’t want to boast, but he gave me permission to publicly thank him.
The trust you guys have put in me to make sure this goes to where it needs to is seriously humbling. Thank you ❤️ nostr:note12mn2d0rdyns30jpjphq7cwzvq0jxvs8308rx0spt9gqg2vgk3fssqd54qx
Bitcoiners are more fiscally responsible than FEMA.
And Guy Swan is more trustworthy than the federal government.
If metal doesn't involve dwarves or space, I probably don't like it.
Speaking of dwarves....

This is over of my favorite metal bands with a new release.

Awesome. After watching that, I can't help but be reminded of this one.
These two bands should tour together. That would be a great show.
We don't make concrete like that anymore. That old stuff is indestructible. It's full of local creek gravel, which around here, is hard chert and quartz.
I once watched a guy try to break a well cover made from that old concrete with an 8,000 lb excavator. Pounded on it for ten minutes, and barely chipped the surface.
I think I'd trust that old silo more than an identical new one made from modern concrete.
How about a little break from fiat world craziness.
Check out this old silo I found in the woods.

Sorry, no super secret survival purposes, it's just for tamping pipe tobacco.
It's a modified pipe tamping tool. The "tape" is a piece of bicycle inner tube that it slides under.
Standard USGI poncho on my pack frame* along with a jacket in case it gets cold. I can add more extra layers, but so far, the forecast is showing warm temps.
*This pack frame
The two other guys I'm going with have elk tags. I am going to watch over the camp, cook some good food, help pack out any animals we harvest, and generally chill off grid and away from work.
T-Minus 11 days until my hunting trip.
Pretty much have my haversack items squared away.

Shelter, clothing and food items will get dropped once we set up base camp, but this is my basic gear that I will always be carrying.

J. R. R. Tolkien has named more bands than any other human on Earth.

Welcome to Metal Transmitted by Relays, my series of weekly notes featuring lesser known metal bands and subgenres.
This will be the final installment of our September Tolkien Theme. I'm changing up the format a bit this week. Typically, I showcase one band that I have legitimitely listened to and enjoyed, but today, I am presenting a whole list of bands and will share music from a few that I have deemed worth a listen.
My goal is to make the case that JRR Tolkien has named more bands than anyone, ever.
It has become common practice among the metal communuty that if you need a cool band name, just consult a map of Middle Earth. Tolkien made up multiple entire languages to enrich the fantasy world he created, and therefore, he also provided hundreds or even thousands of unique names and terms, which decades later, are just waiting to be used as awesome band names.
I have scoured the internet for articles, consulted AI, and trawled through the obscure reaches of Youtube and Encyclopaedia Metallum, and have compiled what I'm pretty certain is the most comprehensive list of Tolkien derived metal band names ever made. Let's begin.
Amon Amarth: Viking themed melodic death metal, the elvish name for Mount Doom

Peaceful, contemplative fall evening here tonight.
