So proud of this girl and grateful for Coach Chad of the Wasatch Water Dragons. My daughter qualified for state today. This was the last qualifying meet, she has been working hard and improving, she earned it. I will always love her.

Bushings are done on the OBS F-150. Of course we found an issue with the air box. Fix that, knock out an oil change, swap the clock spring, and she's finally done.

I was in the garage doing my exercises, looked out the window, and saw some turkeys in the driveway. Ran upstairs for ears and the shotgun. Snuck out behind the bus, a 5 yard shot, and Thanksgiving is coming together. Never processed a turkey so this will be new.

Spotted at the hardware store in the nearest big city... Import parts are expensive. Gotta protect the investment. #whynotlifted

I just found out I should be sweeping my chimney at least once a year and I have never done it. Doesn't seem difficult but, what tools are needed? What makes a good chimney sweep kit? How much is it?

Air wrench called it quits last night mid job, finished the press kit with a ratchet for that bushing and the liner came out with a hammer and chisel. No small fight. Next stop Harbor Freight for an air hammer and Depot for an electric impact.

Working on my daughter's OBS: radius arm bushings, axle pivot bushings, upgrading to gas shocks, clock spring in the steering wheel, and finishing with an oil change.

The top reply is gold...

Honeyberry pancakes this morning. They taste like a slightly bittersweet blueberry and are 2–3x the size. Didn't know these existed a week ago. Anyone else growing these in MT?

Got the 3 KuniKuni back from the butcher, they filled the freezer. Btw, that is a big 15 cubic foot freezer.

Now that the pigs are gone, we need to take care of the roosters that drifted into the pig pen.

UPDATE: Chickens are more durable than sparrows and chipmunks. Had to get some higher velocity projectiles to get the job done.

I make the bread at our house. It is my way of helping make sure everyone eats just a little bit more natural.

This is my favorite kettle. It hums, rather than whistles, it doesn't add to the tension of the house. It quietly lets you know that it is ready.

Cold mornings are here in NW Montana and the wood stove is back to doing the heavy lifting. How much firewood do you go through in a winter? We burn four or five face cords.
