Last Notes npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper We've been driving through Illinois for two hours. If I had to describe it in one word, that word would be CORN! npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper The bees are back to tease me again... My swarm box is always a bridesmaid, never a bride. 😕 npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper Melissa and I were out out checking the garden when two large bats started zipping around overhead. Getting any video was hard but I gave it my best shot. npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper I posted a new PeerTube video today, my 2nd. Hopefully I can improve quality and content over time, I'm still learning it all. Spring should increase content options considerably. npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper @nprofile…7v98 npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper It's a sad day today, our sharpshooter shovel broke. 😢 Might sound silly but I've had that shovel my whole life. It was bought at Sears and Roebuck by my grandfather in the late 1930s. My dad used it in his construction company until he passed away. It's so old it was manufactured in Ireland. I'm going to reattach the handle and hang it next to my dad's construction company sign in the garage. npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper @nprofile…erkp npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper It seems my life is coming to a circle instead of a fork in the road. I was born and raised on a farm and didn't leave it until I was 18. I've spent 20+ years working in a technical field in the city and living in the suburbs. Now my wife wants to start homesteading, and I get the feeling I might find peace in this. I enjoy farming. My dad owned a construction company and a farm, so I think I can manage a much smaller operation. npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper Chair cuddles started early today. 😺😽 npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper @npub1xpz…g6lj npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper I knew you guys would be here so I baked a cake. npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper It's going to be fun getting dive bombed by cicadas while cutting grass. They're flying all over the backyard now. npub1z7dnqgd3n40lq5e02nlkv7ea57pdfkr7dxmc73sqv9khuqyut32qc2xcdz Brian Harper Does anyone have any own or have any experience with EGO brand outdoor electric power tools? Specifically, the push mower they sell. We went to a local home & garden show and I looked at one for half an hour. For me, I only see upsides, no gas, oil, filter, or any carburetor to rebuild. I cut 1/2 an acre or less and need to replace my old gas mower.
