RV Travel Costs (Part 1) – RV Travel Versus Traditional Travel

4 years ago, we wrestled with the decision of whether to buy an RV or not.  I’m a nerd. I did a bunch of math to figure out if it would be worth it. We ultimately decided to buy the RV and hit the road. We took the plunge. We’ve traveled for 4 years and …

Seven Islands State Birding Park (Kodak, TN)

The early bird gets the bird?!? We didn’t get to the birding park early enough to do any birding (but late breakfast was really good). Regardless, it was still a beautiful fall afternoon to explore around this state park. Emily didn’t like my regenerative agriculture ‘knowledge session’ but she did like Buc-ees (meh)!

Panther Creek State Park (Morristown TN)

We stayed at Panther Creek State Park on our last trip of the 2023 RV season. The lake was pretty against the fall leaves. It was a nice park for a short hike and a visit with Max and Arden. It also allowed Emily to continue her late 2023 rant against the evil TVA dam …

I’m a sucker for history and all three …

Thistle Wars Update (DeanoFarms: Week 67)

Deano’s sick idea of a good day?!? Battling thistles in the TN heat! Ha! We let our fields grow all year (no mowing this year). I walked the property a few times and cut the thistles. Once cut, I spot-apply 10 parts diesel + 1 part herbicide with a paintbrush. I don’t really want ANY …

Which Bitcoin spot ETF is the best?

Bitcoin spot ETFs have been online for about 2 weeks now. I’m going to fire Grayscale $GBTC today I appreciate: 1) all the crypto bros who panicked back in 2023 and let me buy at an almost 50% discount. 2) @Grayscale for suing and winning against the corrupt @SECGov I don’t appreciate: 3) the egregious …

Paddle Boating Indian Mountain State Park (Jellico, TN)

We finished up our fall break at Indian Mountain State Park (in Jellico, TN). We covered a lot of ground on our trip so we relaxed around this state park to end the trip. We did a quick hike, a paddle boat race with Max and Arden, a delicious dinner (pies/cakes), and then back around …
