Thank you Chris and prayers for your recovery. I just sat down here at 6:25 pm on Sunday and am loading over 8 hours of video footage into my editing program. I hope to get it edited down to a 45 minute video. I will hopefully get it done and uploaded for either a 5:00 central time on Tuesday or Thursday. Stay tuned, this next video has quite a lot going on. Thank you for being a watcher for a long time. Get well soon.

@@NorthernSeclusion love it!!! Woohoo!!!

Physically I do what I can. If something gets sore, I move to something else. Mentally is the bigger issue but I work best under pressure. You see me doing what needs to be done "right now." I get back to the other projects when time allows.

Lol. That is funny. I actually slept a full 6 hours last night and I did not wake up one time from the time I went to sleep until I woke up. That never happens. Lol. I get 5 to 6 hours of sleep but I usually am up scrolling my phone for and hour sometime in the middle of the night before falling back to sleep.

Same at the tent. All rocks.

I'm a career carpenter. Working by yourself is the best way to work. Sometimes you need help but, working alone you only have yourself to disagree with

And I never have to get pissed at anyone else. Lol.

It’s his meditation time 🙂

I am doing good, thank you. I am just running myself ragged like every spring trying to get the early season stuff completed. Lol.

The directions on the package said 9 to 12 inches. I have done them as close as 6 in previous years but 8 seems better and it is an easy number to keep doubling in your head as you work down the tape measure. Bean directions on the package say to plant at 3 and thin to 6. I have planted them as close as 1.5 inches in the past but have found I get a great yield doing them at 3. Like you pointed out though, when you have huge amounts of land, you could change those numbers and still get enough plants in the ground for what you are looking for in a return.

me too❤

😂😂😂😂❤

In get 5 to 6 hours a night. 6 is always a blessing. Lol. My mind does not allow more than that.

I usually only go to the tent once in the winter and one 1200 pound round bale will do 20 to 25 days for one cow. We will have 2 so 10 days at the least. I am never at the tent more than 4 days. Melissa can easily do the water.

I rarely have any discomfort down there now. If I do, I back off from what I am doing for the rest of that day.

We will need 20 bales to get us through the non grass months. We want to have 25 to 30 bales here prior to winter. 1200 pound bales of good hay, you can buy for 60.00 a bale from several places here. If I had the equipment I would look for something like you are suggesting but at 60 a bale it will be easy to be ready prior to winter.

Melissa is in the kitchen right now at 6:36 Sunday night making peach, strawberry, rhubarb jelly. She has been at it for hours. She is not filming but she will be filming again in the future. That is part of what is going to happen with the guest house. I will have to explain that in a video like I said I was going to do.

Siding will be simple to do. I know it will be vinyl, not sure what color. I want to get going on the inside again. Since the outside stuff is something I have constantly done for my whole life, I find it boring even though it needs to get done. No, I have not discussed it in a video yet.

Fruit trees everywhere are blooming and just about finished. Soon they will start making fruit.

I am deep enough so I do not need it.

It will all be done by August.

Hello Richard.

I rather enjoy it. Lol. Non used muscles disappear.

The first time I would have called the police for trespassing but not pressed charges. The second time I would have cut every damn tree down that he planted, seriously I would have. The third time I would have called the police and pressed charges for trespassing. Pardon my language but neighbors are not something I fuck around with. They have 2 choices, we can get along or they can have a miserable life. I make sure what I am doing is respectful and legal. I am a very nice person..... until I am not. You need to be the bigger asshole.

I totally agree with you Joe.

They are treated lumber. Lifetime guarantee they will not rot. It would be stupid of me to use any other type of wood for posts except pressure treated lumber.

This variety only grows to 26 inches. It says that no fence is required but I like having one anyway.

Most people are like that. I realize that I am the weird one, but I see my garden as part of the yard landscape. I like things to be close to perfect.

Oh well, I have been raising chicken for over 40 years. Some people hate it when people catch fish and toss them back instead of gently putting them back. The morel of this story is?? There will always be haters and no matter what a person does someone will find something wrong with it. I have found that just me being me is the only way I can do videos. I will continue tossing the baby chicks.

I totally understand that it looked a little rough, but knowing Joe, I don't think he meant to be mean. He was working fast to keep them from escaping. If the door was bigger, he would've put the whole cage inside the tractor and let them get out on their own. A little more patience would've been nice to see. It was clumsy but not abusive. Right? Joe's a good dude. Let's give him a break. 😊

they were just fling lessons

Cows do not need a barn, they just need a shelter to get them out of the wind and elements when a bad storm comes in. Nothing heated. I have explained in several videos, including this one, where that shelter will be.

Melissa is very hands on around the farm. She doesn't like to be filmed. This is Joe's channel. Honestly, I think their relationship works because they know how to give each other the right amount of space to do their own thing. You know what I mean? It seems to be working. They've been together for years. 😊

Yes but she prefers to not be on video very much. Luckily, I have the power to edit. Lol.

I guess that is when I will be done then.

People doing youtube videos do not have any control over what commercials are put in the videos. I simply click that the video is monetized so they can add the commercials. It is an election year, we go through this every 4 years.
