Well my wood splitting is going good, I am happy to be getting a head start on it for the first time ever! Starting to look very ‘fall’ like around the farm. I cannot believe August is just about over, damn. Where did the month go? Where did the summer go? Better yet – WHERE…

The girls were having a good time on the 4-wheeler, and Rori too! She loves it! They went out back looking for bunnies! (The same thing Stella and I do almost every day!) We go out there and if we see one I let her down to chase it. They run and run and run,…

Anytime Rori can get out back, this is where you will find her. She loves Feeding the goats… She got right in the pen with them today, not scared or anything, she was excited to see them and feed them like always! The goats? Feed me all you want, we will eat it!!!! They have…

Look at us, lookin’ good in Westcliff Colorado. We saw the pretty mountain backdrop and had to stop to snap a quick photo. The southern rocky mountains are a bit different, definitely much smaller and kind of a different terrain. Still beautiful but different. This is about 3 and a half hours away from our…

It is all about firewood around here, tuning everything up, changing blades on chainsaws, cutting, stacking, sorting and getting ready. I think we are in for a long, cold, snowy winter and I will be prepared. I have a generator for back up power, firewood to heat the house and will, we are self sufficient…

Man it has been hot out here, the ole AC is struggling to keep the house cool. We have one window unit in the Livingroom and one portable unit in the master bedroom, it can make ends meet but not as cool as I would like it in there. The ‘central’ AC will cool it…

I guess I should have put a little more explanation in yesterdays post. I am excited about the new bike rack because now I can load my bike up, drive a mile down the road to the bike trail and ride from there. No more dirt road washboards! I started riding 4 miles a day,…

Happy Birthday to me, wooo hooo – another trip around the sun and it has been a good one! No complaints here, life is good! Another year older, but hey – that is better than the alternative right? Nat and Jake came over at 5:00 AM before work to bring my gifts, Lisa got up…

I do a lot of reloading and I visually check every single shell before priming and filling with powder. This is the perfect example why, damaged at the top and cracked all the way down the side. That would make a pretty ‘boom’ if you reloaded and shot it. I do not think it would…
