Well the truck is mostly fixed and not totaled. Plus we have been hitting it hard on the property since the beginning of the month.

Unfortunately i hit a deer Saturday evening and the dually is down until insurance looks it over. Small amount of damage but due to its age they are already talking about totaling it. Busted a headlight, running boards, dented the door and the running board damage cut into a tire pretty bad...

So we got a fixed backhoe and a well! Just need to install plumbing from well, run power and septic!

Transplanted my free trees into larger pots! 2 black cherries and one pecan. I have a peach and 10 elderberry trees still to do.

Well lots to update........ We got more done on the property. Still waiting on the well. I lost 2 months april and june working due to back and leg injuries. Started welding school in may to redo my certs that didnot tranfer from military. All school work for the welding portion is done through...

Got the backhoe fixed and broke hydraulics 10mins later. Sat down the other night and picked out what we wanted to plant this coming year. DW helped me set up a schedule and goal board since im struggling to adapt to civilian life. Lack of swim lanes has been daunting.

More clearing work. Progress is slowing as the backhoe needs repairs and the weather turns rainy.

Teddy found the rear window.

Got some more clearing work done!

Yeah thats how im looking at it. Plus im looking at side work on trade or barter for other stuff we need. Some good news we now have septic permits and a well contract. Just waiting on the well to be drilled.

I dont know the economy and inflation is beating us down.

Well we have a borrowed backhoe and have started more clearing. I have septic permit, power permit and on the list for a well to be drilled. But my retirement pension is not cuttingbit and i picked up a job at a local factory as a welder. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going. But going back...

We are doing an rv site for now. Bubbles and i have been talking about a grain silo house or quonset hut, plus a dozen other ideas.

Here they are seems like an issue a lot of folks are having. No idea where they were purchased at.

Kexle lids

I shall revive this ol thread, My father and Bubbles where canning pickled zucchini and recently purchased some kexle canning lids and almost every one warped or creased in the pressure canner. The older kerr lids in the same canner did not. Anyone else see this themselves?

I just saw this seems to be a bad idea to me on so many levels https://www.fsa.usda.gov/news-room/news-releases/2022/usda-opens-peoples-garden-initiative-to-gardens-nationwide&ved=2ahUKEwjnmvX6w6P6AhWQmGoFHW96AgMQFnoECBAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2ACarON6RsLp0DQbJHG4Yi

I keep a get home bag in each vehicle. We have stages to bug out (left over from living in hampton roads). Rv level (which we live in now) truck level (with motorcycle on the back) motorcycle level then on foot level. All set up to get us to our location here so time to retune. After 3...
