    Ben takes a break from RUclips and gives his recipe for tomato pie. He looks forward to lighting off fireworks, but wants to be in bed by 10pm.
    Al has been working on new summer pasture. He has to worry about moose destroying fences. Al got new livestock. And updates us on his pigs. He also shares about his plans for his New/Old manure spreader.
    The guys talk about busted laptops, editing videos, and storing music. They also talk about metal doors and bunkers.

    Staycation, Ben. New life always needs special time. Be it precious children or new animals or even new plants. The one thing that can't be bought. Time. My husband just stopped to give me a hug and asked, are these your boys? Made me chuckle when I answered, yep. Love what you three are up to. There is purpose in every season.

    • @margaretbedwell3211
      @margaretbedwell3211 9 дней назад +5

      High tech for me was 45 rpm's. The little records with the big hole. You had to have an adapter in the hole to fit on the spindle of your record player.

    • @JoyceDee

      Grew up with 78rpm records, before the 45’s and 8 tracks in the 40’s and 50’s. How time flies🤷🏾‍♀️😊

      Still Higher$$

    Al. Be careful feeding fine grass clippings to pigs. You can get compacted bowels and blockages. Tall grass and weeds are ok.
    Extra zucchini and garden waste and leaves are great too.

      I was born in 1959, and I had never heard of tomato pie in all my life until I took a trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2021. A restaurant there served it. It had 3 or 4 different cheeses in it
      It was soooo good.

    Interesting conversation. Jason, Heartway told me they had a lovely time and enjoyed the visit. Glad you were able to stop. . Al, I have been looking for one of those spreaders for a while now - good find!! I chuckled at the frozen ground talk as I am frozen ground for months as well - our water lines need to be 8 foot deep. I really laughed at the computer talk - I remember the 3 1/2 discs...and in reality I remember the first computers . I still have cassettes - miss them in my truck! LOL. Man, I am aging myself bad!! LOL I moved all my vinyl to cassettes too Ben and now can't listen to it except in the house...I don't want any of it digital so don't use my phone for this purpose - back up your music!! I still have boxes of vinyl and CD's...lol.

    The biggest legal scam in history. Records, 8-track, cassettes, CD's, DVD's, iPods, iTunes, & Spotify. Each time a new format is released, you HAVE to buy ALL your music all over. Stealing in any other form is against the law.

    I LOVE Menard's! There isn't one in my area, but I still get their daily sale emails and can order and have it delivered. I learned about Menard's from this podcast! ~ Jason, I watch all three of your YT channels regularly, but I really loved the video you took at the festival at McMurray Hatchery where you interviewed so many people. It's good to see so many people wanting to learn about homesteading and the old ways of doing things. Back to our roots!!

    Hello from Comstock, WI. Our local ACE Hardware has most of our home improvement needs, for the rest we head to Menards. Theres Lowe’s and Home Depot in the larger cities, like Eau Claire and The Twin Cities, but it takes fuel to get there too so we usually bite the bullet and support the locals. :)
    I always enjoy catching your episodes here on RUclips. Have a great weekend!

    Hey! Been listening to you your entire year. Referred by Al. Started watching his channel when Olivia would count their daily eggs😊. Orig from CA, husband native OR. I’m 61, he’s 62 and we have a 10 acre vineyard (husband makes the wine), winery, AirBnB Cottage, 2 Harvest Host spots, chickens, goats, Kunes & Am Chins. Terrible at gardening but try. Did I mention “this” life is our retirement? Sold our company to our son 3 yrs ago. We are busier now than ever! I think we did it backwards 😂. Enjoy your channels and this podcast. Always learn something. Thanks to all of you.

    As a long-time Apple Distinguished Educator (ADE since 2000), I share your emotions about some of the changes in not only Apple hardware, but also some of the seemingly freakish "updates" that come down the pike. It seems like things were a bit more organized while Steve Jobs was living, but some of the wheels have fallen off since he passed.
    My first Apple (pre-Mac) had a 4-digit serial number, and there were all sorts of ways we could re-engineer those dandy Apple ][ machines so they would work better for us experimenters. (Remember when the Apple did not have lower case letters? Then, when upgrades came out and we could have TRUE descenders. Ahhh, those were the days! I'll bet nobody reading this comment remembers having to type 3D0G on an Apple....or, when disc drives came out, we could type "PR#4" (if the interface card was in slot #4) in order to get the floppy disc to boot.)
    Thanks, guys, for another fun, informative episode.

    Here in the Northwest Corner of Washington State we have Roosevelt elk and they walk right through fences, wooden rails, log fence- a friend had them walk through the orchard and 5 year old fruit trees were broken off at their belly level- the tree trunks were 5+ inch diameter. Elk just walk through anything, folks chase them off with ATVs but they don't care about solid barrier fence let alone electric line.

    We just finished leveling the front house now I got the guys doing the garage apartment which is a little harder. This house is 1925. The garage apartment is probably 1930 and there was modifications. Made later on so it’s gonna be a little bit harder. These guys have to tear up concrete dig in to pick up the apartment and do I guess the four corners support and then work from the inside out I’ve been pulling all the stuff out of the garage so they can work which is good for me because some of it is not going back in. .. We have been decluttering items ..really to make or storage sheds LESS..but been it’s so hot ..we been taking our time .,I personally can only do 1 1/2 hours of work..
    I have took about 10 boxes to either the church or the Goodwill took two loads to the dump. I still got plenty plenty more. It’s been too long 30 years of storing things it’s time to go. I have sold a lot in the garage sale but garage sales are too hot right now. This weather I can’t do it, but I am high so I will give an hour and a half every day to move things around and I see a big difference one of my shades I can actually dance inside. There’s so much room in there right now, we’re still working on things
