Killer day of #Paragliding yesterday at Tekoa. Got 2 shorter flights on the new wing, got a good feel for the wing loading and the feel of the weight shift in turns, or more so the minimal needed to turn. My landings were solid and ran both of them out. I got great advice on aspects to work on which I will be dedicating much kiting time to. #freeflight #gliding #homesteading #hive #peakd #dailyblog

First real launch on my new wing was great. I got 2 shorter flights while everyone else got much longer flights. I'm fine, I need the practice and a lot more kiting. It is a lot more touchy in the air and not a big boat overhead like my old wing. Hope to sell it soon.

After my morning ride I finally got back into the hive to remove the queen cage. My mistake in not closinghte window first as a bunch of hte bees went blasting for the light and stuck to the screen. I closed the outer door on it and they found their way out the door. They are looking good and strong so far and hte frames are nicely getting filled. #homesteading #cycling #hive #peakd #dailyblog

'Fountain Of Youth' Protein Boosts Lifespan, Muscle, and Brain Power in Aging Mice -- After Single Dose

#Paragliding flight number 100 for me yesterday and the first on my new wing. I love this thing and it is so much easier to handle than my old one, which is WAY too big for my weight now. I kited for over an hour later and am very quickly picking up the nuances of my new wing. Planning a few sled rides and lots of kiting before I take it out for bigger flights. Going from the low/mid B to the C is a bit of a step but one I think I can manage. #freeflight #gliding #kiting #hive #peakd #dailyblog

The hillside is getting nicely cleared of the larger debris which is making it easier for the sheep to move around. I skidded bundles of trees down the hill by hand but it worked really well and was far faster than hucking them downhill one by one. That Inter v Barca match was outstanding and good on Inter for making the finals. Going to fly my new wing for the first time today, super stoked for it. #homesteading #diy #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog

After our preemptive Mother's day brunch yesterday morning and another injury to our wild child while bike riding I got a big burn pile going. It will be the easiest way to clear the hillside of the debris and make it more of a fire break. The pen had become littered with branches and sticks that kept getting in the sheep wool so this should make them a bit happier. #homesteading #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Worthless USPS still has my wing when I should have had it Friday. Made for a less than stellar day. I got a lot done but in a not good mood. I managed to make a much better bike rack out of the old fireplace guard and it fits the bikes just right. The boys are both quite happy with it. #homesteading #gardening #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Last of the seeds are in the ground now and just the transplants left to put in today. The fences are up, irrigation all started and not leaking, and the marigold seeds have been stuffed all over the gardens. One of the light switches in the house went bad and I got it swapped out before it could turn bad. The thing was crackling inside at times as the lights wouldn't come on.... I had the images of the spark then flames in the wall and made sure to get it changed. That part of the house is nearly 100 years old. #homesteading #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog

After the morning of wanting to burn Venmo to the ground then a trip to the bank and paying for my wing through Zelle I was able to get the greenhouse planted finally. Far later than I should have given it's a greenhouse.... I found one of our broody hens finally after a lot of searching and she has a good sized clutch under her.

"Scientists have been breeding fish that can digest corn, soy, peas, and even sorghum." Wonderful, they are feeding them the most highly gmo'ed plants with corn and soy.

The garden is now planted. Just the greenhouse left to plant and I will be all good for the season. Ordered my next 6 varieties of garlic for fall planting and when I get then next couple in September it will give me 21 varieties. I'd like to have the entire garden planted with garlic eventually. One row per variety sounds good to me. #homesteading #farming #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog

The #garlic now has TOTAL COVERAGE irrigation. I hate overhead watering but sometimes there is no other good option. The garlic is far less concerned by it than most plants so it will be fine. The boys are going to help me pile the pine needles back between them all to try and mitigate the weeds which will explode in the overhead watering. 658 #potatoes are in the ground and that is all I am planting this year.
