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 …

Finding My Property Line (DeanoFarms: Week 26)
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
Learning at 2.5x!
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 …
Fall Mowing and Clearing Fencerows (DeanoFarms: Week 19)
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 …

Fescue Seeding / Test Planting (DeanoFarms: Week 18)
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 …

Christmas Debacle(s) And An Unplanned 1,400 Mile Drive!
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 …

Thanksgiving At Hogdaddy’s
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.
Birthday Campout At The Farm
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 …
Biking Music City Bikeway + Centennial Park + TN Bicentennial Mall
The Music City Bikeway is my favorite bike ride in the area. It had been a few years since I’d been biking on it and it called me. The last time I rode it I’d ridden my bike 1,500 miles that year. This time I’d ridden my bike 55 miles prior to riding the 33-mile …
