We headed down the Natchez Trace Parkway to Lawrenceburg, TN for some winter camping at David Crockett State Park. There was beautiful ice in the trees on the way down. The weather cooperated all weekend and we got our first trip of 2023 completed. This one had all the staples with hikes, waterfalls, a campfire, …

Task: Cut the White Album down to a single disk (15 songs) AND resequence the album. Joey’s Resequence Notes: I view this album as the first sign that the Beatles would break up. I’ve sequenced the album in that fashion. From songs the entire band was involved in and fairly typical (whatever that means) Beatles …
The Beatles are my favorite musical group of all time without question.I wrote about that here: https://deanorolls.com/2020/04/14/deanos-musical-masterworks-the-beatles/ My friends recently did the impossible, we decided to force rank our favorite Beatles songs and the results of that are here: https://deanorolls.com/2022/06/30/beatles-top-ten-songs-from-people-who-know-stuff/ Then we decided to force rank our favorite Beatles albums. My methodology for this was …
Today I hacked through the overgrown jungle to find my property line. I knew it was in there somewhere. More work to be done but I found what I was looking for on this day. #DeanoFarms
TL/DR: I am now soaking my brain in knowledge at 2.5x+ speed! I listen to a ton of podcasts (and have for several years). Over the years I’ve listened to over 1,700 podcasts (1,580 hours / 66 days). Yes, I keep track…like any good nerd should! Whatever topic I’m interested in learning about I choose …
Mowing day is not my favorite day because I like projects (as opposed to maintenance). Emily likes mowing so she does that part. I get my weed-eating done as quickly as possible and then work on projects while she drives the mower. My projects usually involve clearing out a fencerow. Clearing fencerows usually allows me …

To wrap up some prior jobs I needed to get some fescue seed planted on some areas I’d excavated. This fescue seeding was also a test planting because I didn’t really know if it would work very well in the heavy clay soil I’d be seeding into. We also got to use some of the …

Over Christmas, we celebrated Max’s 21st birthday (several times actually). We barely survived rolling blackouts and some single-digit temperatures (Deano marked himself safe). We survived but the pipe inside our wall didn’t and flooded our kitchen. Then we got to take an unplanned 1,400-mile round trip to Orlando to get Emmaline back home because we …

Games, 4-Wheelers, Cows, Guns, and Golf Carts…Oh My! And good food too but I was too busy stuffing it down my gut to capture any of that.
I turned a half-century old and my only birthday wish was to not celebrate that in the slightest way (introvert much). I spent the day working (for my real job) at the farm, eating a steak for lunch, watching the sunset by a campfire, having dinner at our favorite pizza spot in Dickson, and then …
