I waited until they were 18. But yes, I recently shared a beer with my boys after a hard day of work. Also, after 14 years of coaching youth sports I can assure you that teenage boys still talk like they used too.
The old “bachelors dilemma.” Also, for those of you that are into detailed mechanical work. When someone says “it’s a hair off” and you respond “red hair or blonde hair?” Do you know what I mean?
First El Salvador, then China, now Pakistan. In total about a 10% to 15% increase in supply. All within a month. Sounds like some fuckery going on.
Hey nostr:npub1sden9s5dj8ccj0u2erg9g5vxpe2duwcnhyv3spnhcpvd8p03ufhsrn75z3 or others posting in #homesteading what’s a good automatic coop door that will fit turkeys? Looks like $300 price for anything big enough but I’m hoping to not have to spend that much.
Run Chicken has a “giant” model that is supposed to accommodate birds up to 86lbs. Currently on sale for $240 with an extra 10% off if you sign up for their newsletter. I have the “Eternal” model and it’s only failed to open once, when it was absolutely caked in poop. It’s operated down to 2F with ice and snow. Bought it last fall.

Are you building it to actually track the sun for optimal power?
So did I. nostr:note14cp92gajjlj5qpuf25tcylgrjj5q30aa2czzm278uv0r96apy6sqfsxxma
I want one. Sell me one. I’ll buy one that’s still in developmental stages to help you work out the bugs. I’d love this kind of stuff. 
We learned a lot from the fires in 2006. Many improvements were made. Interagency communication was improved, incident command protocols were updated, interagency drills were implemented…
About 10 years ago there was a wildfire near my home in San Diego. The helicopters were on scene in less than 10 minutes and started dropping water on the fire. I timed them, one load of water every minute! The response was awesome. Only a few acres of grass burned and they got the fire out before it got close to any structures.
After several years of waste, fraud and abuse that kind of response is gone now.
Twilight after a snowfall is one of the quietest times you’ll ever experience. I took a walk around the perimeter of the Homestead to check fences and double check all the animals were warm enough. So peaceful.

And not a single morbidly obese person.
I don’t think so. I don’t hear of record size wildfires coming out of the Pacific Northwest every year or two.
Oh, and yes, some tool started the fire. But it spread so much and quickly because of the excess fuel laying around.
Why don’t you build a prototype?
It’s awesome that you’re thinking regeneratively. I understand that when a tree dies naturally and falls it creates a habitat that nurtures the ecosystem. I also understand that when trees are harvested, the branches are stripped off and left behind to emulate the natural cycle. I believe that when trees are harvested for wood, they leave the branches in well spaced piles to mitigate the fire risk. Wildfire fuel management is an important part of a well-managed system. In this example, they clearcut to build a trail and left miles of whole trees creating an unnatural fuel source.
Doesn’t matter as long as the chili is red and has some level of heat to it and contains beef. There is no such thing as turkey chili or white chili. Those are stews.
To anyone wondering about the cause of the California fires. Here are some pictures that I took while hiking in the Sequoia National Forest a few years ago. A national forest managed by the state of California. I was so shocked at the irresponsible forestry practices that I had to take pictures. All of the wood in these pictures was cut down and left on the ground by state agencies. This hike covered about 5 miles. Everything the government touches turns to shit. That’s why I live in the woods with my wife and dog and try to be as self reliant as possible.

Good morning nostr, its time for coffee and then starting on the chores outside before the rain comes in. But at least i dont think we'll have any icy/freezing issues with the rain.
We decided on a big pot of chili for the family gathering this weekend, and my husband is the designated chili maker in this house, so i'm off the hook for that. I'll make some cornbread to go with it, and maybe a dessert. I think he wants to cook some pork ribs and sausage too, so we'll have plenty of food for everyone.
Anyway, yall have a great thursday, enjoy your coffee, and do your work with a happy heart. #coffeechain #grownostr #homesteading https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/8d9d2b77930ee54ec3e46faf774ddd041dbb4e4aa35ad47c025884a286dd65fa/a1ab1a549c19fcc8f8c36cd479dd6cef3adf72730cbfe72d75845b5ef67335e8.webp
