When you have stuff with pistons in them that need to be hand cranked, you often ask…Will They Crank? Max bought a Suzuki FA50 moped. It was just like the one we used to ride at Pipa’s house when I was growing up. Seeing his 190+ pounds self riding his 2.5-horsepower “hog” was very funny! …

Red Ryder Farms is for sale. I had many a fun, relaxing, peaceful day on our little pile of dirt. As I was getting it ready to list, I got to the point where I didn’t even want to sell it. But, with a historic home in the mix, I don’t need an extra to-do …

Sometimes, rather than doing anything on my long to-do list, I’ll make up a new project and spend an entire day messing around. Tennessee presented me with a gorgeous fall afternoon, and I spent it outside with my brain turned off, harvesting my walnuts…and coming up with all kinds of crude ‘nuts’ jokes. Perfect!
Finally, a proper trailer for all my hauling needs. I’m gonna be a trucker just like my daddy! Now that we don’t need to live in the metal building, I need a trailer to pick up all the old vehicles we’ll put in the metal building. Of course, Emily doesn’t know about that last part. …

I called in reinforcements for the big, old, dead tree in our pasture. #deanofarms
After 50+ years on this earth I finally graduated up to a proper tool box! LOL I’d allowed the barn to get pretty sloppy over the past couple of years. I decided it was time to get organized. My OCD is now calmed down!
Previously, I’d learned how much ‘exercise’ you get by breaking down large oak rounds by hand. Lesson learned. I went with a new plan. I brought in the heavy equipment to split the large oak rounds. Still hard work but much quicker…and fun with machinery! [manly grunts] #deanofarms
I let the pasture grow all spring and summer this year and mowed everything down in late summer (mid-September). My plan was to get some seeds (from the plants that had gone to seed) to germinate in the rain that came in right as I finished mowing. I could get used to mowing only twice …
FREE BLTS! I did not want a tomato plant this year. But, the monster tomato plant I grew last year had other plans. So, I got a new plant from its seeds–volunteer tomatoes! I did almost nothing to help it but I still got a few BLTs out of it. It was a nice little …

I needed to do my winter mow while the wildlife was tucked away for the winter. I’d left a few brush pile messes around the place earlier in the summer that I needed to clean up. So, I cleaned up my messes and finished mowing everything on a nice winter weekend. Winter mowing is certainly …
