Hallo #Nostr
We had success at the ski swap in Spokane and both got boots and I another set of tele bindings. We are now ready for the snow to DUMP. After breakfast in Deer Park we just missed the incredibly huge crowd arriving for the Pumpkin Lane walk through town. Rain is here so I had a number of things to do to get the farm ready for it and the sheep hut was a rather important one. The wood on the roof is trash so the tarp will do to keep them dry this winter. I'll replace the roof eventually.

Get a couple or more to play with even with no one nearby. I have mine setup and no one within line of site, but like the old saying, "build it and they will come".
Not the best of days yesterday as my body went into the yearly Fall nosedive. The quick lack of sunlight causes my body to turn on itself and my eczema goes into hyperdrive. I'm dosing Vit D quite heavily to try and bounce out of this if possible. Fortunately I keep prednisone on hand for just this sort of occasion. Now I am starting to understand the people who bolt to Scottsdale every Winter.
It did give me a chance during the day to find the tools I will need for building LiPo packs, so I guess there is a tiny bright spot.

Yesterday I've finally started breaking #LiPo packs down for the cells after finally seeing a good video on it. My first goal is to build a 6volt pack to use with my #Meshtastic node, a substantial pack. I'll have it solar charged but want the big pack with to make sure it can get through the long winter nights.
Went out and limbed and bucked one of the trees that I felled then loaded it and the dry rounds into my truck and dumped them by the wood cover in the yard. The live rounds will cure over winter while the dry are perfect for burning in the house now.

Not saying it was aliens BUT.... It was ALIENS

In the interest of trying to not exacerbate the pain yesterday I kept the workload minimal. I didn't want to destroy the chiro work done but still had to get something done during the day. I've been meaning to move the tires from the piles to stacks and finally got it done. They are all covered to keep the rain away from the wall and it cleans up a nice sided area. I will likely use them somewhere around the farm, I'd grown potatoes a couple years in stacks but no need now that I am growing them in rows.

It's like imperialism, just with extra steps.

Two enemies talk to each other like adults!
The US worse nightmares are happening. India and China getting along, Saudis and Iranians doing business together and now this.
GASP! You mean peace might be possible WITHOUT the US sticking its fetid dick in the mix?
Lol, Tannerite at 20ft.

It was tree felling day yesterday. After the #freezedryer finished I was out hacking on the stump for a while before I headed up the hill to take down 4 trees. I got 2 limbed, 1 bucked, and the buced rounds trundeled down the hill. I have to go limb and buck the rest today. The fireplace is ready enough to get going so I will probably give it a run in the next day or two.

It was nice getting the rain yesterday as we have needed it. After a rough night I managed to get a few things done during the day. The fireplace has needed attention for a while and holy balls was there a lot of ash where it wasn't supposed to be. Lots more work to don on it still. The last potatoes came out of the ground and I only managed about 4 pounds in the couple really short rows.

Soggy morn #Nostr
We did it! 800 cloves of #garlic are in the ground and covered for the winter. The boys planted and covered after I made the holes. The mass of pine needles I gathered proved to be just the right amount and will do quite nicely to protect them all over winter. Still 3 more varieties waiting to arrive that will get planted. Quite proud of the boys for their help and really happy to have them all in. Perfect timing as it dumped rain overnight and is still going.

Probably don't want to be shooting the brick left out in the barn exposed to the weather for eons but ammo stored properly can be good for decades.
Hallo #Nostr
We went to the ski swap in Colville yesterday morning and got everyone skis and the boys boots, poles, and helmets as well. After lunch we stopped at the ranch for steaks and roasts. I spent my afternoon pulling apart all the heads of #garlic to get a count and prep them for planting today. 794 cloves from the 10 varieties and I still have 3 more vafieties shipping soon. My hope is to have 1000 cloves in the ground but may fall a bit short.

The S19 is ordered! I have to do some electrical work to get the 220v to the greenhouse but I have the wire for it. I just might be able to heat the whole greenhouse this winter.
Pretty sure most controllers have it built in.
I run my gate opener with a single solar panel, car battery, and a solar charge controller. This is the one I have and it has done just fine keeping the battery from discharging too far even in the middle of winter.
The first deep freeze of the season hit and the leaves on the trees spent the day raining down with each little breeze. The #garlic garden is nearing ready to plant and I will have at least 10 varieties planted by the end of the day tomorrow.
I'm going to get an S19 for the greenhouse heat this winter. The S9 did well last winter but the heat from the S19 will be a lot more. I will be putting my pots on a table and the S19 will sit beneath it so the heat keeps the table and pots warm all winter long.
