We feel the same way Deb. That’s the good news. Now the bad news - I broke the temporary crown yesterday. So it’s back to the doc on Monday. It seems that when I’m really stretched out that more stuff gets piled on! A bit overcast here. Irene had a huge blackberry harvest yesterday. Yum!! Fresh berries. Have a great weekend. Take care.

Boy Jan, I hope so. So far it’s good. Sad to say I broke the temporary crown last night. Back to the dentist Monday 😟. Time I don’t have! Take care.

@@BrainStormAcres O No

@@jankotze1959 precisely my response Jan 😳

Boy what a cluster it was! So glad I got the Rover running. Broke the temporary crown this morning 😟👍🤣. There’s a saying about bad luck … 🤣😆😂 Have a great weekend. Take care.

Life has been a rollercoaster for sure! We’re not out of the woods yet 😟. Remember that temporary crown? It just broke. On a Friday. And the dentist is closed. Sheesh! The adventure continues! Have a drier weekend Bryan. Take care.

@@BrainStormAcres we had rain again last night but the weekend is suppose to be dry. Then they are calling for rain all day Monday and into Tuesday mid morning

@@bryansloesshillshomestead4523 hope the crops near you don’t drown!

Thanks! Yep, tired for sure. Trying my best. Have a great weekend. Take care.

I guess it’s good that I still have both!! Now if both repairs hold up! Have a fantastic weekend. Take care.

I guess I wouldn’t have so many issues if the guy overseeing the “improvements” actually did a physical inspection and watched the antelope in action in this area. I know why the forest service employee doesn’t also remove the desert holly - too many thorns 😟. Thanks for commenting. Take care.

Hey there! Yeah, hot hot hot! It would sn’t unusual to be in the 90s, but for the last 6-7 years we’re having 100+ degree days for weeks on end. It is s all part of the migration of warmer temperatures to more northern areas. We out there mini-split A/C in the bedroom about 8 years ago to provide some relief for what was perhaps a week of 100+ days. Now we have many more days over one hundred. Makes new challenges 😟🤔. Hope you and your family are doing well. Are you still in the UK? Take care:

Hey Bryan, food storage is always a tricky thing. We had wanted a freeze drier for years, but we had other ways to deal with short and medium storage. What sold us is the ability to have a complete meal in little time when traveling. Commercial freeze dried foods are way too expensive on a per serving basis. Now I can cook much larger amounts with a specific plan to freeze dry most of it. Roasting 9 lb of eye of round takes about the same time as roasting half that. Before, my only preservation technique was to freeze leftovers. Now we mostly don’t have leftovers in the older sense. Instead we plan two uses - freshly cooked food and freeze dried food. I spend time portioning the larger portions I cook, but it’s all at one time with no spoilage! Thanks for your comments. Take care.

Good day! I like a little fat on a good roast beef, but gladly give that up for the convenience of easy to prepare freeze dried meals. Wouldn’t you know it, temps dropped today, but now we have more clouds 😟. Can’t have everything everyday! Take care.

@@BrainStormAcres 25 mm of rain tomorrow! Tuesday 25th of June!! Gonna be flooded!! Everyone is preparing their Noah's Ark here!! LOL!!

We're witrh you! Got a whopping 0.1" last night! Woohoo! We like the gentle rain that fell last night because it has a chance to soak into the ground. Usually it comes down fast and runs off. Have a great week. Take care.

You aren't kidding. We're in an extreme fire danger right now - everything is dry. Keep m praying for good soaking rains for all of us! Take care.

@@BrainStormAcres Yep!! Monday as I speak right now!! The rains are here now!! 🙂!!

Jeanie, the rain was surprisingly light. We got a whole whopping 0.1” great for the plants, but the road is probably softened and ready to become mud when the rain hits again this afternoon! Have an awesome day. Take care.

I was outside when the light rain started. Love it for the garden and the trees. The rain off and on last night makes me concerned for the roads. Mess is us I suspect. Tomorrow will be an experience …. Have a wonderful Sunday. Take care.

Hey! Great to see you again! Hope you are able to do your business - we’ve seen that weather in your part of the country has been k challenging. Take care.

Believe it or not Bryan, our pst office doesn't have a street address. Funny thing, when inspectors came to check on some earthworks at the new PO, they couldn't find it because there was no street address. Too funny. The postmaster had to take them to the new PO location! TOO FUNNY!!! Have afantastic week, and watch out for the skivvy patrols - you never know when they'll shoe up :) Take care.

Hiya! So good to see you here. Hope all is well at the old Church and black flies stay away! Have a great day. Take care folks.

Ugh! We’ve been over 100 several times in the last two weeks. It sucks the energy right out! Hope we all get some relieve! Take care.

Sue for discrimination. Hmm, might be their motivation. I’m sure the doc saying this is a life threatening condition played into it too. We’ve had packages delivered in town since we moved here. First was a local mail and shipping service which we used until it closed. Then the Mobil station until it burned. Now the corral market. There people who meet FedEx ad UPS at the end of the pavement. They both used to go into the ranch roads, but most drives on the JWR side won’t do it anymore. Thanks for commenting. Take care.

Hey Jan, these complications are some factors that make people leave within six months. It’s neither simple nor easy! Take care friend!

You and me both! Sadly, there hasn’t been a lot of progress on the PO. I’ll check when I go to town this morning. Take care.

Hiya! The last three days has left me exhausted😖. Days (months really) of stupid responses to a non-problem are wearing. We watch G Bear s we’re able. Part of his problem is being in no man’s land close to California. Some metes their routing algorithms do stupid things. Hope your weekend is terrific! Take care.

One of the frustrating weeks!

Go for it! Whatever works for you works! Best to know yourself. Good luck and take care😁

Thanks. There are tons of obstacles, many caused by our location and relatively few events within 100 miles! Looks like we probably will get wet this weekend, but at least the temperature is forecast to be a few degrees cooler. We’ll see how the main road does. Take care and happy hump day.

Love it too! Wish we could get some fresh roasted Hatch chili! Take care.

So true! We don’t eat candy - not enough food value for the calories. Some of the foods on the “no go list” were a little surprising. We understand why, but it’s small consolation. Thanks for commenting. Take care.

Glad you think so! We’re very busy with preparations for our big sales trip next month. We’re still looking for more alternatives! Take care.

Thanks so much Bryan. Lots of red against a small possibility of green 😟. We’ll talk more about the decision making. Lot to do between now and a final decision! Thanks for commenting. Take care.

The taste is pretty awesome. It just came out of the freeze dryer and we can try it today as reconstituted chili. More fun! Have an awesome week. Take care.

It is very tasty Jan. There is hardly any garlic in the dish - no garlic taste that most people can tell. Generally, the cayenne overpowers the garlic Ang the garlic taste is masked by the green chili. Thanks for commenting. Have a great week. Take care.

Bummer! Our son shouldn’t eat one brand of canned chili. For some reason it gives him killer gas 😳🤮. Enjoy your cooler and damper weather! Take care.

@@BrainStormAcres Hah hah!! 15 ml of rain predicted on Thursday!!

;)

@@BrainStormAcres 😂😂😂!! I shouldn't laugh!! But yeah!! Chilli doesn't go down well with me either!!

Glad you enjoyed it! We had a number of firsts - SpaceX was completely unexpected. That part of central coast California has PSAs alerting residents to sonic booms from launch/re-entry. Have a great day. Take care.

Thank you so much 🙂 Take care.

Let me invite w what details you interest you and I’ll see what I can supply. 😁

@@BrainStormAcres I am sorry. I don't mean to cause you more work. I am pennsic folks

@@mmcgartland2095 we’ll be there again on The Street of Gold. Historic brewing is still “on the list.” Homestead repairs and travel for Irene’s business (The Treasury) keeps getting in the way 😳

You're welcome!

Hiya Jan. That’s the end result for footage for the trip to California - I lost a lot when the camera failed to save the files correctly 😟. The spaceX launch had some noise that made an impression but wasn’t strong enough to keep in the show. We heard but did not see the re-entry of the booster returning to Vandenberg. We had several new experiences! Take care.

It’s funny how some places do n’t seem to change much. Solvang looks about the same, but the bakery clerks were pretty lacking in knowing what ingredients were in the baked goods. Still, a fun visit. Have a great weekend! Take care friend.

Thank you so much 🤗 we had a nice visit in California. The unwelcoming me visitor had to go! Have a great weekend. Take care.

Thanks 😁. I thought about FD the snake, but Irene wanted it gone 👍. Sure wish I’d grabbed the rattle though! Thanks for commenting. Take care.

Our anniversary was relaxing with our daughter and her partner. Jennifer chose a fantastic selection of cheeses. The Bleu cheese was delicious. Champaign was delicious too. We haven’t let Rufous off his leash in public until this visit to a dog friendly beach. Rufous did great - he mostly came when called. He had a very be fast dog when he decides to run hard. Rattlesnakes. That is the only one we’ve seen in our fenced yard in 20 years. We’ve seen two others in other places on our homestead. Have a fantastic weekend Jan. Take care friend.

Yep - I don’t care for snakes in general. That’s the consequence of an unfortunate experience 50 years ago in another desert 🤔. Saw you were in a group live this morning but couldn’t stop to watch. At least your notifications are working again! Have a wonderful weekend. Take care.

My mother told me a few weeks ago that she guessed I was right in marrying Irene 😃👍. Thanks for the wishes. Take care Sandi!

Go to England? Fabulous idea! 40 minutes to the beach … I wish! A minimum amount for 400 miles to the ocean from here. We try to take advantage when we’re near the ocean. We live San Luis Obispo California where our daughter lives. It’s way too expensive to move back now. We left California 18 years ago to save money. Rufous had such a good time. Running with other dogs, including Gus, our daughter’s rat terrier. He slept very well! Have a great weekend. Take care.

😁👍

Kelly it was fantastic and too short. We try to take as much time as we can when traveling, but there are limitations 😟

Thanks 👍. We really didn’t want to dispose of the rattlesnake, but no snake stick handy … and it couldn’t stay in our fenced yard. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Take care.

Thanks so much Deb! We’ll have to go see what you’ve been posting - notifications only seem to be partially working for us 😟. You are right. Rufous really likes running in the sand. He ran a lot of the time we were there - about two hours. He can be really fast, but enjoys the game of chase. We walked two miles but he ran a LOT more! He slept well! Hope all went s well in Florida. Take care.

Everything is going good here in Florida! I just haven't posted a video in MANY weeks. I've just been keeping busy with other little projects around here that I didn't think would be of interest to anyone else. Take care now!

@@DebsWay glad to hear it Deb. We’ll still Go see if we missed anything!

Thanks Bryan, the beach was fun for us all. Rufous had a ball playing with our daughter’s rat terrier. The border collie was a new experience! Rufous can be one fast pup, but he really enjoys the playful chase game. Have a great weekend. Take care.
