My brother-in-law, Justin, really likes chainsaws (like really). When he heard I had some trees down he was all ears. I don’t know if he really (like, really really) wanted to spend a day on the farm sweating but that is what happened. I had 4 (then 5) really big trees down and needed to …

We met up with Emmaline who was working in Amelia Island, FL. This had been on Emily’s list for a while. We stayed in cabins near the beach and explored the beaches, a lighthouse, and a giant fort at a nearby state park. I think Fort Clinch was the biggest (and best) fort we’ve ever …

From Vero, we ‘launched’ north to Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, FL for my first visit there. “One small drive from man”…err. The night before we’d caught a Space X launch through the clouds to get us hyped up for it. After a slight delay in our ‘liftoff’ (women) we finally ‘touched down’ for …

A new 12-week phase begins today and the goal is 17% body fat. From December through early March, my goal was to lose 4 inches off my gut. I wanted to get to 34.5 inches (which is half my height). I did this and hit my goal before heading off to Spring Break. In the …
It had been 15-ish years since we’d been in the Apalachicola area. The Indian Pass Raw Bar had received a major upgrade. I wasn’t feeling too hot so the girls went shopping in town before we ate at the Owl Cafe. It was just as good as I remembered. We stayed one night on the …
We spent a ton of time on Cape San Blas when the kids were little. On our Spring Break road trip this year we looped through there again and spent a day revisiting the area (near Port St. Joe, Florida). It had been 15 years since we’d been there. It had changed, but not too …

TL/DR: If the currency isn’t scarce, everything else on the planet that humans desire will become scarce. I’ve spent the last 15+ years (since the ’08 financial crisis) trying to figure out how to manage money during unprecedented times. We are living in an experiment. My guess is you are going to have to try …
It has been a year since I started learning about regenerative farming (and White Oak Pastures). In a stroke of serendipity, our Spring Break road trip this year took us right by their farm in Bluffton, GA. It would be crazy to not stop by for a quick visit?!? As we drove I made the …

I didn’t think through winterizing our building for the winter very well this first winter. I got busy and kept putting it off. Then, it got really cold! I solved it after a cold spike in late December. But, not before I rang up a big ‘ol gas bill. No busted water pipes, however. I …

Sometimes things don’t go according to plan when traveling to a new place. We were winter camping but the weather was beautiful and not too cold at all. I planned a big hike, but we punted on that when we got to the campground. We had a great lakeside spot. I decided we needed to …
