Pearl Harbor ~ December 7th, 1941
•
It feels surreal to imagine being attacked on our own soil. 🇺🇸
•
To forget this happened in our grandfathers lives is failing to acknowledge that it could ever happen again. We owe it to all of the brave Men and Women who fight for our freedoms while we rest safely in our beds. Never forget.

Shoveling s**t is just part of the deal.. 🤝🛠️💪
•
As the wet rainy pre-winter weather settles in for the year it creates a nasty thick bed of slop in our goats pen. It’s allot of work to shovel the s**t but our animals are spoiled and I like to keep them as comfortable as possible through the rainy season.. Goats are hilariously sensitive to rain.. They will camp out under cover all day to stay out of the rain! 😂🐐😂🐐😂🐐😂🐐😂
•
The silver lining in all of this hard work is that you end up with a massive pile of what will become beautiful compost for the garden.

The time has finally come.

Part of the beauty of chasing your dreams is appreciating your likeminded friend’s journey’s. It takes a special kind of person to branch out and create something new or different to share with the world. We all hold on to the small hope that with hard, honest work.. Just maybe, life will afford us the opportunity to live more free. Free from being owned by our 9-5’s.. Free from “performance evaluations” from people who don’t have a clue about our real passions.. And free from regret about never investing in ourselves..
•
My friend Andrew is on the right path. And the small business he’s built creating a modern day version of an ancient style of footwear is his vehicle to achieve his freedom.
•
His initial vision was meant to fulfill a need for a dead silent, ultralight, all leather moccasin built for the close range hunter.. stalking up on their prey within striking distance with a bow and arrow.. But as with many passion projects, his idea has surpassed his initial target market..
•
Andrew’s moccasins are now the choice footwear of professional trackers, survival experts, primitive hunters and people like myself who just want to feel grounded to the earth..

Pump House Build 🤝🛠️💧
•
Homestead Diary: Nov. 16, 2024 The days are getting shorter and the torrential downpours are bringing that all to familiar debilitating mud back into my everyday life. Yesterday I got the house wrap on the pump house and completed the final install on the entry door. Which required some shimming to get everything opening and closing just right. I spray foam insulated around the door jam to seal it all up.
•
The conceptual idea behind this pump house staying thaw throughout the frigid winters is supported by two main attributes. 1) Airtight over insulated walls and ceiling 2) the fact that the pump house is built on top of a 2100 gallon buried concrete (cistern) full of constantly circulating 54°F spring water. I’m predicting the 54°F water underneath the floor acts as a thermal mass contributor to the internal temperature of the pump house. 💧🙌🥶

3 Years Ago.. Our first fall/winter on this land.
•
It’s easy to get tunnel vision.. Consumed by the thoughts of all the work that still needs to done. Never slowing down enough to reminisce and appreciate how far we’ve come..
•
I want to get better at this. I believe it’s good for your soul to stop and remember the journey that got you to where you’re at. All the accomplishments that you now tend to take for granted on a daily basis.. While you’re busy trying to get the next project done..
•
Life’s short.. I’ve always had a uniquely firm grasp on this.. I can easily see myself as frail old man on my death bed.. it’s what fuels my ambition and my dreams of never having regrets..
•
Big love to my Dad for helping us reshape this plot of land with his 1969 D7 dozer.. The D7 you see in this picture was a gift from the best boss he ever had. His name was Zain. And he left my Dad that dozer when he passed on.. I love you Dad. Thank you for everything.

So make the best of this test, and don’t ask why
It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It’s something unpredictable
But in the end, it’s right

Wilma seems to approve of the sitting rock. 🐐🥰
•
A month or so ago I was widening one of our access roads into the property and this rock was sticking up a couple inches taller than I wanted the road to be.. I figured it was maybe a bowling ball sized rock.. Boy was I wrong.. 😂 When I started to claw at it with the excavator and it didn’t budge.. I sort of dug my heals in for a fight.. 😂 I’m stubborn if nothing else. Well when I finally got it to move I had a giant hole dug in the road.. it took some real careful maneuvering to get it out of the hole and prevent it from taking off rolling down the mountain and taking out everything in its path.. Including one of my vintage Airstreams’s.. (‘63 Sovereign) which it would have tore through like a tin can.. 😂
•
Throughout the last few years we’ve made it tradition and sort of an inside joke to set up any boulder that we find that has some character as a sitting rock or a natural bird bath.. depending on their shape and attributes.. My Lady Heather has developed quite the affinity for beautiful boulders placed in beautiful places throughout our homestead property.. And now I find myself making sketchy decisions to make her smile.. 😀
•
My advice for you today.. is go out of your way to do the things that bring your loved ones simple joys in life.. They become investments in each other and what you’ve built together.. ❤️❤️
