Two things left: 1) Sell everything in the Wild West of Marketplace (the wildest place on earth). 2) Speaking of the Wild West, I then needed to load up the Bronco. The Bronco was being a little feisty in the wet weather and did not want to get on the trailer nicely! Bad Bronco! In …

The hard work SHOULD have been done. I’d already fought with the tractor to get it going again. Today is moving day, and she started right up. Good…Check! But then I, inexplicably, ran out of gas halfway onto the trailer?!? So what should have been an easy project turned into a debacle. Honestly, fairly typical, …

Old fuel left me with a big chore. I have to get my old John Deere tractor started so I can move it out of the farm building. After 25 minutes of solid cranking, I was not denied. She FINALLY started! I’m also pretty sure I almost had a heart attack. Regardless, the first step …

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
