It was a dirty job. Mike Rowe would have been proud. Hours spent blowing down the house from top to bottom with backpack blowers. Then scraping the floors all the way down to concrete. Cleaning chicken houses is not for the faint of heart.

Enjoyed the weekend playing together as a family. So grateful for our kids and the time we get to spend together.

Really enjoyed the show, learned a lot about AIP. Going gluten-free helped me a lot, so I’m thinking about trying this to test how my body reacts to other foods. https://fountain.fm/episode/GTWIy1jDAvCcpX7xI6Q9

Enjoyed making food for the family in this beautiful weather. Worked just over 70 hours this week, sometimes there are seasons of work you just have to push through. It’s been over a month of long hours, but we’re getting close to the end of the project. Very grateful for this time with the family.

Always a good yearly episode. I don’t have a large area to garden but I try and sneak a new plant in every year because of this episode. Also, it help with our homeschooling, kids need to pick a plant and teach me how to start it and care for it. https://fountain.fm/episode/z0anpBaFZlIqHpFVK9AF View quoted note →

What an episode, thoroughly enjoyed it. Learned something new but also felt it was an interview that the host and the guest were able to connect during the show. Almost and old school interview podcast from the early days, like when a potential long term relationship was being cultivated. https://fountain.fm/episode/UUWZtzzOvKEYgO2gw4CS View quoted note →

Merry Christmas, we enjoyed the candle light service last night and now the kids are opening presents with excitement and joy

15 years of celebrating the 21st Amendment with the same friends. This year was done over the phone as they were vacationing in Utah, but the tradition continues. Happy Repeal day America. #grownostr #repeal #tradition # friends

Making Dutch oven monkey bread this cold morning. First weekend off in more than a month and the kids unanimously voted to go camping, glad they did.

Beautiful morning, it just feels the way this photo looks.

Sometimes on the Sabbath you do fun work with your sons. We installed lights on the back of the camper so I can see better when backing in late at night. Checked a project off the list and got to teach the kids a bit about 12vdc wiring. #familytime #grownostr #sabbath #funwork

Just started a side hustle and came back to this episode by chance. It hits a little different this time. Thanks, Jack. https://fountain.fm/episode/G2XRCLmurJkaP339F4aW View quoted note →

Got called out to look at a dryer today. The tenant said the walls were dripping with water and it smelled pretty bad whenever they ran it. Turns out the vent had come apart and the lint trap was totally clogged. They thought it only needed cleaned once a week. Quick reminder: clean your lint trap after every use. It keeps your dryer running better, prevents smells, and helps avoid some messy (and even dangerous) problems. #grownostr #willworkforBTC #staysafe

Sometimes you do things simply because of love. My kids absolutely love the beach even though it’s not really my thing. But, seeing their joy fills my heart and overflows my love tank.

Installing vent panels on the front of the chicken house today. Maxed out the scissor lift and keep having to go up and down to move the platform. One of those days you just tell your wife it went fine and leave out the details.
