On our return trip of Spring Break, I wanted to mark another National Monument off my list. We visited St. Augustine, Florida to see the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. This fort was built in America’s oldest city which was settled in 1565. I got more than I bargained for when we hit downtown …

A group of my friends decided we’d do the impossible. We’d try to pick the Top 10 Beatles songs of all time. TL;DR: “Helter Skelter” is the top song of all time. The Beatles are my favorite musical enterprise ever. I wrote about them here: https://deanorolls.com/2020/04/14/deanos-musical-masterworks-the-beatles/ My Beatles playlist is 5 hours and 32 minutes …

My favorite podcast. Rip knows more about more things at a deep level than anyone I’ve ever listened to. Disregard his gruff demeanor and foul language and politics (although I like all that too). He is a genius (with 45 years of experience) when it comes to strength training. If you listen to him your …
One of the first projects on our farm to-do list was to clear an area of pasture that has been overtaken by blackberry bushes. Whatever you call them (thorn, briar, brier) we don’t need them. The thorn bushes have grown into a row of hay bales (and subsequently grown into the surrounding pasture). For a …

The link I’m sharing in this post is a Bitcoin video podcast. Ignore that (for now). The interview is essential for everyone to understand (not just us Bitcoiners) what is happening in our economy. The guest being interviewed is Preston Pysh (my hero). I’ve listened to him for years (literally for 100s of hours). He …
Wekiwa Springs State Park was the second Florida state park we visited on this day. We were in Orlando visiting Emmaline (and Sebastian) on our Spring Break tour with Molly. We stopped in Apopka, Florida for some kayaking. It was a very pretty trip. We should have planned to spend longer here and gone on …

Molly, Emily, and I road-tripped it down to Orlando over Spring Break to visit with Emmaline. We fueled up and headed to Blue Spring State Park (in Orange City, Florida) to see some manatees! We saw many along the Boardwalk Trail. We also saw some of the prettiest water I’ve seen in some time and …

The first item on my farm’s master plan was to keep ticks and chiggers off of me. I was researching this the day after I walked the property for the first time. I don’t want any of the blood-borne illnesses that ticks carry. I also do not want a chigger anywhere near any part of …

March 10th, 2022 I listened to a Joe Rogan episode (#1784 Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf). They wrote a book (and documentary) called “Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat.” I listened to the 3-hour podcast mainly for the nutritional component. I was fascinated by some of the things they talked about involving how the …
We started our Spring Break with snow and freezing temperatures. We were supposed to tent camp at Stone Mountain Park (near Atlanta, Georgia) but we canceled that and opted for indoors (and heat). On the way there we stopped off in Chattanooga and picked up Molly for our week-long road trip. We didn’t let the …
