That happened to me last year. Look up drought info and having all boys. Someone told me that once but I never dug into it. Hoping to get a new buck this go around.

I have to disagree with the folks about wool socks being too hot. I’m in the desert and hot is the norm. I wear wool socks especially when it’s hot with my boots in the summer. It keeps them dry and they get less smelly. Now if I can go sandal I will but for working, wool all the way all year long. They can be thick so I sometimes go up a half size in shoe if it feels too restrictive.
That’s my two cents.

Currently greening the desert so I’m gonna pick that one. I also think the wet conditions would amplify my allergies and the bugs. The heat can be brutal but I have found that napping during the hottest part of the day if the only way through it and one of my favorite things to do too. The cool mornings with the birds and the dark skies with the stars makes it all worth it.

I enjoyed this thread. I’ve been needing to get back into it. I do well with short block meditations but I have always been interested in long sittings. I’m always concerned about position. What’s best. Sitting, laying, will I fall asleep haha. I need to just do it though. Thanks for the inspiration.

This is right up my alley!
I take fire cider and elderberry syrup daily. Lots of homemade chicken broth.
Mullein tea or syrups for the coughs/congestion. Throat comfort tea is great when you get the scratch. Keep the nasals open with saline washes. So many good herbs out there to put to work this season!
I just used mine ( kitchen aid brand) today for homemade pizzas. Not having any data to compare with other grain mills, it works. It is slow for a fine grind. Very slow. So have time. It’s best for grinding small batch of what you need rather than a weeks worth. I will say, my pizza was amazing with fresh ground grains so if it’s the most affordable thing you can get, it does work. It is easy to attach. Another con would be the location of the flour falling.  You can’t fit a bowl under there without it leaning on the base and having to prop the bowl up. But minor inconvenience.

I can’t imagine. My house is also poorly insulated and about 55 inside in the mornings. I workout in the morning to get my blood pumping and warm up. It truly helps for hours. Do you have propane space heaters? We run ours a lot.  

I sleep with a 0 degree sleeping bag and stay toasty all night. Wine helps too hahah.

Good luck. It’s suppose to be hella cold everywhere this season. We shall see!

This was my favorite of Joe’s. I love a solid and deep southern accent. I have his new book on Audible after his second Rogan show. I have thought about doing the 3 month apprenticeship with them to get some new experiences and enjoy a small town again.

Look into getting a 4x4 or 4x5 round bale instead of squares. You can store under a tarp and pull off flakes for your animals or build a simple feeder where they can access it slowly.

50 lb. sq. going for $12 but you can still get a 700 lb. round for $60. That’s a lot of savings.


Rounds here are $190. So we feed our horses gold haha.
