Always fun when your hobbies overlap. Today I got to configure a network while being outside. The photo is of my dad resetting an access point. My laptop is in the shop, where the other end of the cable is.

Supply Chain Interruptions and Feed Changes
A couple of weeks ago when I went to buy horse feed I had a shock when I found out the feed store was out of what I usually fed. Mostly because this is a feed that's made by the feed store, albeit in another town, so I thought they'd never run out. When MFA closed my local store, leaving me only with one that was an h

🌱 Growing your own food isn’t just gardening—it’s freedom. Tomatoes, berries, herbs… grown by your own hands taste better than anything in a store. #GrowYourOwn #HomesteadLife #SelfSufficiency

Horses As Rain Gauges
Today is the kind of day that's the reason why weather forecasters like to repeat "turn around, don't drown" over and over again. On Thursday when I went into town the two low water crossings (before I get to paved roads) were fine. So I didn't think too much about it when it poured for a few hours before going to town.

Tadpoles in the Horse Trough

My goal is to be more transparent (and dare I say it more "human") with you, as well as share what brings me joy every week. Thanks for bein

Two New Cats and Spring Arrives
Cats seem to know to find their way to our place. It could be because we're the only house along the gravel road without at least one dog, or it just could be that the cat distribution system knows where to send cats. Either way I had been putting out food for them and getting a space ready to bring them inside. With last week's co

The Magic That Isn’t Written About In Stories
When everyone in Westeros started talking about winter's imminent arrival, I highly doubt it was any of the Starks who contemplated things like water hydrants or how they were going to get water to their livestock. I haven't read the books beyond the first one (sorry, not my style) a
