Another predawn grain run yesterday morning and the sheep and birds are very happy to have the munchables. I'm slowly getting the garden coated in the grain and will have it more than covered by the time tilling season hits... Though it is tillable now since we have no snow or frozen ground... I'd like for it to actually turn to winter at some point, this rain and mud is just annoying given it's January. #homesteading #diy #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog

GOBBLES #Nostr Tom #turkey #butcher day yesterday and It was good to get him in the freezer. He was the instigator of their escapades to the neighbor's so now the hens should all stay close by. Over 7 pounds of breast meat which got cut to steaks. Our youngest wanted to help and learn for the first time which was great that he lost the squeamishness. #homesteading #farming #diy #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog

This winter is garbage for snow. It'd be nice if it just fell and stayed a while instead of the instant melt offs. The rains aren't helping that cause much. What a #darts finals that was as Littler set records. Incredible what he did in 12 months. Today we are #butchering a #turkey finally, the tom goes, and his fat breasts will get busted down into nice steaks. #homesteading #diy #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog

#GM #Nostr I'd been forgetting to make a new batch of #Kahlua for far too long and yesterday I managed to get it done. Not sure why it took me so long, it's not a hard process. Make espresso, boil with sugar, cool, add vanilla beans and bourbon, cap, age, drink. So I have 2 bottles that need about a month before we should first break into them.... if we can wait... I'm really digging #Freecad and the vast differences between it and Autodesk. It feels a lot easier to learn and looks to be just as powerful. The workbenches are really cool and make the work flow pretty smoothly. Lots to learn with it but it's fun so enjoyable. #homesteading #3dprinting #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

#GM #Nostr New year's day #pewpew lessons for the boys yesterday after the snow eventually stopped falling in the afternoon. Started off with the bigger guns and will step back to the 22 lr now for refining and further learning. They are getting a bit later start on it than I did as a kid but things were different in the 80s and I was at the range most weekends then. #3dprinter lessons are thankfully easy ones and not big issues for me so it can keep brrrrrring away. Amazing how many settings are available and that just one can make or break a print. #homesteading #gunstr #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

New Year

Well well well, would you look at that, we got New Year

Happy new year #Nostr Rather busy day yesterday for the last day of the year. Started before dawn and ended today. The animals are all super happy for the grain, the kitchen fan is back up, the printer was brrrring away all day, then I grilled our bison t-bone steaks for dinner. The boys had a blast with the fireworks all night and surprisingly I still have some left over. #homesteading #farming #diy #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Happy end of year #Nostr Yesterday morning the boys had to go fetch our shithead turkeys who absconded to the neighbor's to raid their chicken feed. Took the boys 2 hours to get them home where they will once again be locked down. I'm having a world of tire troubles. My truck needs all 4 new, the spare I have on has a stick in the side that let's air leak as well as the valve stem, and the one trailer tire goes flat. The 4 tires for the truck are ordered so in the next days the work will get done. They managed to make the trip to town this morning for grain though. The boys were making dinner when all of a sudden the exhaust fan over the stove broke from the wall and fell on the stove. Scared the shit out of hte boys' who were making dinner. Thankfully the glass didn't break and I will get it remounted today. #homesteading #diy #farming #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Soaked Morning #Nostr WEN WINTER? WEN SNOW? This is just a soggy ass end of the year for us. It just won't stop raining, or get cold enough to snow on the farm, so we are locked in a seemingly perpetual mud season. At least we get these 2 days of dry before the next system comes barreling in. Got the Christmas tree taken down, the living room cleaned, found my transplanted pepper plant has a pepper growing, and have a brewery returning so I have more grain to pickup. #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Morning #Nostr First #ski trip for the full family yesterday. Normally it was just me solo so this was a new adventure. I was incredibly surprised that on one of the busiest days on the mountain I was able to find vast swaths of untouched powder lying amongst the trees. This is my happy place to be skiing, the groomed runs are just for transit between the various tree patches. Thankfully everyone had a blast despite the numerous falls as they worked on learning to control the sticks on their feet. #skiing #hive #peakd #dailyblog

It's quite amazing to watch a 9 dart leg be thrown and Heta nailed one yesterday to which his oppenent and the crowd went full on ape shit. It's a pretty good tournament this year. FreeCad is a badass program and has so many addons available it rather amazing. I've managed to find some manuals and tutorials to work through and am quickly picking up a number of aspects. I have tons to learn with it but at least it isn't Autodesk. First ski trip today for the family should be fun! #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Morning #Nostr Of course it had to happen yesterday, but thankfully it wasn't Christmas day and I was able to fix it. The water line finally popped a hole in the nipple between two 90s, it had been a tiny leak but managed to corrode enough to become a honest leak. Swapped out the metal for pvc so as not to have that keep happening. Tested my #pew-pew but it's not quite capable of dropping a 1200 fps round down below 900 fps. I have to print others with the varied internal baffling systems to find one that might handle the standard lr rounds and actually quiet them effectively. #homesteading #plumbing #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Happy post Christmas #Nostr! It was a successful day yesterday for #Christmas as the boys are super happy with their hauls. I got a pair of suppressors printed out with the second getting tested out today, with safety barriers in place. It's only for the 10/22 but still if it grenades off the end of the barrrel I want to be safe with the #pewpew. We went for our yearly Christmas lights drive and saw the best display we have ever seen in the area, just a few miles south of the farm. #homesteading #3dprinting #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Merry Christmas #Nostr! Almost enough rain to surpass the prior low for the month once it stopped yesterday afternoon. We are slotted for more before the end of the month so will for sure pass 2021. We went out to brunch mid day and got last shopping done amongst the throngs of other people with the same idea. Got the #3dprinter setup and venting then printed the arm for the catapult in ABS. The catapult is badass and quite strong, strong enough it destroyed one of the parts so I had to reprint stronger. This mroning I'm printing a supressor for my 10-22 and am very cuirious to give a try, (7 hour print...). Just waiting on the family to arise and for the chaos to ensue. #homesteading #diy #grilling #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Happy Holidays #Nostr!

Merry Christmas Eve #Nostr! That was a shit way to start my day yesterday but thankfully I'm quick at solo pitstops and had the flat tire changed out in under 15 minutes. Part of what makes it faster is having a floor jack style jack and not the shitty OEM garbage they give in vehicles. Also a full size spare is WAY better than those shit donuts. Lots of #3dprinting over the day getting the parts for the large catapult printed. I have to move the printer today so I can vent it and print the ABS throwing arm. Don't want the fumes in the house, bad enough with the PLA/PETG. #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog
