After ANOTHER fucking repair on the car I think it may be okay for a while... but shit just keeps popping up every time I turn around. This time the metal transmission fluid cooler line got a hole in it so I swapped the metal lines for hose. Got to see Duncan Trussell at Spokane Comedy and ended up getting seated front and center. Duncan is not a crowd work guy so it was just the closest possible to watch from. Super good set after a good evening out. #hoemsteading #diy #mechanics #hive #peakd #dailyblog

After the predawn grain run I picked up the new starter at AutoZone and got it installed in the car which now works again. My Dad is the master of porting and polishing engine heads so I had picked up a few things from him over the years which made it go pretty smoothly. The second head is off and I will do the same to it today. This evening we get to go see Duncan Trussel at Spokane Comedy. Pretty excited sor it. #homesteading #mechanics #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

I can't seem to win for losing. Went to take boys to town for one's dentist appointment and found the starter on the car is now dead. The solenoid works but the motor is toast. #FML! They are in stock in town so I will go get a new one today and install it first thing. Needless to say he missed his appointment. I'm trying to get a new LN wallet setup so I can actually receive zaps again due to the one I use now not accepting lower than 50 sats. I've not figured out how to make a reliable fixed ip with us on Starlink so am not running my own node. #homesteading #mechanics #hive #peakd #diy #dailyblog

More rain made for a lot of house work and less outside work yesterday. I did manage to get out after it had passed and dug some more of the raspberry plague from the greenhouse. The patch will end up moved eventually so this won't keep happening each year. At least it isn't raining today so I might get something done in the gardens. #homesteading #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Too warm #skiing on the mountain yesterday, at least for how we dressed and the wax on our skiis. After watching the NEW GREAT ONE score his record goal we got in a couple hours on the slopes. 4 runs was all and at times we had to work to go downhill, but at least the hardest runs were more like a moderate. It was 62F when we left to head home. My #Garlic is growing wonderfully and is looking like almost every single one grew so I have over 1000 that will hopefully give me nice fat bulbs in a few months. I'm looking forward to the massive number of scapes as well. #homesteading #snowtime #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Not the way he wanted to end the season, and I'm none too happy since it was due to an illegal move, AGAIN! This time he got a mild concussion. Trapped Arm Mat Return has been phased out for years due to this exact reason, injuries. He is doing okay but I'm just hoping this hasn't killed his stoke for the sport. #wrestling #homesteading #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Great morning on the slopes yesterday. The groomers were buttery and quite fast. I managed a 57.2mph top speed with some sustained 50+ sections. Spring conditions can be really fun even if the trees are not in good conditions. Finished the burn pile in the afternoon and am getting the debris around the farm dealt with better now. Still tons to burn but much of that is on the hill still. #homesteading #skiing #hiking #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Ooopfh. The potholes in the road are filled. After 6 super heavy loads in the wheelbarrow. I just need to make sure the sweeper doesn't come down the road and undo all my hard work. The apiary is cleaned up so I have room to build the stand for the hive. Moving the hive indoors this year in hopes of actually getting them to overwinter for once. The hardest part will be keeping the mice out. #homesteading #farming #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Ya ever see a plug come apart like that? That was the start to the morning yesterday as I took the boys to school. Aparently the wire and contact had broken up and were in a major fight which caused the 1st cylinder to not exactly want to work right. Mid day I installed the new plugs and wires and what do you know, it runs like a champ now. Especially once I had cleared the codes. It would seem that 2025 is my mechanic year where everything gets worked on... #homesteading #diy #mechanics #whatnext #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Slowly but surely I'm getting the valve work done on the head. It's not turning out to be terribly difficult but so far nothing is proving to be bad or likely to have been causing the sound. At this point I'm commited so have to finish the job. GR8 is only 4 goals away from the record after getting number 891 last night. I hope he does it this season! #homesteading #mechanics #nhl #hive #peakd #dailyblog

After dealing with the raspberry virus that had infected my greenhouse yesterday I got started on taking the head apart. To keep all the parts together I am using egg cartons which are working perfectly. So far nothing is looking bad but I will change the seals and brush the valves before putting is back together. #homesteading #diy #3dp #mechanics #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Yesterday the birds weren't too pleased that I spread the grain and didn't let them in on the deal. They have the rest of the farm to roam so they can just deal with not being in the gardens. In the afternoon we went for a hike up to the upper property and have decided on the trees we will use for the eventual treehouse. This is the view it will have looking down the valley. #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

After the wet run for grain in the morning yesterday I managed to finally get the head off the truck but now I'm trying to diagnose the problem.
