Mike, you made that Ranch. I just can't hardly watch anymore without you there. I'm glad to see you happy. If you are ever in Richmond Indiana, you can stop and video are Farm. You will always be welcome. You have touched ALOT of ppls lives more than you know. Thanks for that
So glad you got the house you wanted, that you've stopped smoking, that the kids like their second home. Keep moving forward. Happy to be able to watch these videos as you share them.
I think Erin probably should have hired him and left him on the ranch. She is going to struggle to do this alone now. They are co-parenting, they probably could have co-operated the ranch. Easier said than done, I know. Good luck Mike!
@@Rancher-oh7ew That wouldn't be a good idea. Divorced couples really need some time apart to grieve the marriage and adjust to their new lives to remain amicable. Yes, co-parenting means communicating and acting like a team with an ex, but that's a far cry from spending 40+ hours a week at working with each other.
Mike, Even with Jeff back on the ranch, it will never be the same without you. I have tried my best to watch but it is difficult to Hang in there for a full video. Miss seeing you but understand you are busy with a job and children. You are in our prayers for peace and success.
You've got a wonderful home, a wonderful yard, wonderful pets, and super-wonderful children. You've got it all! May God continue to bless you in every way.
The difference between the other fella is that you had no choice but to come back to the city. You seemed to really love the ranch life, you wanted to show everyone the ups and the downs of it so they could make informed decisions on if ranching was for them. People who don't love something do not share everything. They complain and want others to commiserate in their pain lol You on the other hand really showed everyone how to ranch with respect, most have no idea how much care and attention slaughter destined animals can get when they are raised on the right farm. Yours was one of the good ones, you cared if the animals were in pain or sick. You cared when they had to leave the ranch, you hated that they had to go but being that its a business you have to make those hard decisions. You showed how to ranch right. That to me is amazing, so many people think it takes a cruel person to send an animal off to slaughter and that all these animals are cruelly treated, never shown respect or care. Back when you had small ranches and farms all these animals were loved and shown kindness and respect. These new factory farms are where the cruelty happens, the small farms are usually better for the animals. So thank you for showing so many people what REAL ranching looks like...
Congratulations on quitting smoking! I’m a mechanic in a large shop, bunch of guys I’ve worked with have struggled with it. We’ve put a couple in the ground so you have made the wise choice
Mike you have really been missed!! So so glad to see you back & in your New Home...it's beautiful & I know you will be happy. I'm sure it is and has been very difficult for you, just remember we are here for you & will always be watching & waiting for your next video. Congratulations on your new home & life. ❤🙏
I will keep watching you miss you at the ranch Don’t give up youtube Congratulations on quitting smoking. That was one of the best things I’ve ever done. Was hard but I’m glad I did it. Hang in there
Oh Mike! We have missed you so much! We're very happy to see you settling into the house you wanted! And the kids like it too, that's great! Their new pets are so cute and mostly easy to keep when the kids aren't there. The ferret may become more yours, and nice to come home to something that reacts to you. Hope to see more of you when you have time! ❤
Quitting smoking was the hardest time I ever had. I became sick, irritable, and had a hellish time. Considering that I had only smoked for 5 years. You are in my prayers
When I saw the back yard you were mowing my first thought was, "Its big enough for a cow to live on". Well you may not be able to make that happen, it's big, more grass than I want to care for. I noticed first off, the Cross on the wall. He is the one who will strengthen you and heal all the hurt. He loves you so very much! Always look to Him first, not last. For our help comes from Him. The home is comfy and roomy. Kids rooms look great and welcoming! Glad your still with us sharing your life. We all think your a great guy, & good to listen to, have a lot of insight and warmth. Or we wouldn't follow along! Life takes us all in directions we would not choose for ourselves, it makes us grow in ways we wouldn't otherwise. Your wise to embrace it as you are. Soon it will all be good in many ways. Something wonderful is coming your way, in time. I know this for one who is willing to grow and learn attracts good things, people, circumstances to them. As always, Blessings be upon you! Hug, Washington state.
Yay! A ferret! We used to have seven rescue ferrets. You'll eventually probably need a second one. They do better with a friend and they need somewhere they can be out and about for several hours, getting exercise and having lots of play toys (tubing, boxes, blankets, etc) I wasn't sure about them at the beginning either, and I fell deeply in love. They are so misunderstood, but I found them more intelligent than any dog or cat that I ever owned. That's why they need time outside a cage. Also, they can get into anywhere their head will fit. Watch out for reclining chairs and under appliances. AND WARNING! They love anything rubber and will chew it up, leading to a visit to the vet for a blocked intestine. : ( Good to see your new normal and a bit of settling. Your kids will get you through. Hugs.
Congratulations on the new digs. And dad taking care of pets. Former ferret owner here anything electric such as cords on floor get metal cable wraps for. Ferrets are notorious for chewing up electric cords same with computer cords. Glad the kids doing good and settling into new lives in the city.
Divorce isn’t easy, I know but it gets better and you find yourself loving life again! You have a very nice home and a huge back yard for lawn games and entertaining your kids and friends so take advantage of that, your basement will be your own sanctuary for those stressful days at work. I wish you loads of happiness and a good life! ♥️🙏🏻🇨🇦
Your life/health is the most important! IF you choose to continue with RUclips, I will fallow. Although cows are a lot cuter, than that snake!? All the best to you! Thanks for the video!!!
My grandson has a turtle is name is Fred. My oldest son had ferrets. The first one was white and grey her name was 1) Ms Aster. She would climb up on the desk. And push stuff off. And watch it hit the ground. 2) Dark brown she loved paper. These two ferrets ran all over the house. We had two little dogs. They got along really well. The third ferret he got this one later on. This ferret her name was chopper. She would like to hide electronics. Cell phones, remotes to the TV's She lived by her name really well. She would bite you in a heartbeat. The first two ferrets would love to lay on a bath towel. My son would spin them around while they were on it. They would fall off the towel. And they would crawl back onto the towel. And they were ready for another spin. Congratulations on your new home. Thank you for sharing.
Mike, I hope you are settling in and coping mentally with all the changes you have had to go through and process for you and the children. We know you will be busy with your full time employment and your time with the children, also trying to renovate the house. Thinking of you and your family.
I am so glad you were able to get a home. It would be so nice if in 4-5 years you can get a small piece of land and have a some animals you enjoy with your kids. Good for you for stop smoking agin. Not easy. God bless🇨🇦
You have an awesome home Mike. You can make it what ever you need it to be. You got this. I can't wait to see the finished basement. I am happy for you.
Casper is what's called a piebald ballpython, super cool it took me years to find the morph and the "nightmare high" made me chuckle that was such a dad line to say.
Keep being strong, Mike! You're the kind of inspiration so many need, just to make it each day! Thank you! I love your house and so much potential for it, too! I'm sure the children are adjusting to their new schedule and surroundings and am glad they have their own critters to care for😅! I'm looking forward to more videos from you when you get the chance! Until then, stay well, my friend! 🇺🇸❤️
Thats why I watch and love your videos! You're honest, simple and always moving forward, no matter what. You're a great Dad, and a great person. Nobody shows all the bad, too easy to cut out nowadays, but as long as you stay true to yourself and love those kids like you do, you'll never be without...God has a plan for all of you! Thank you, for being kind and honest and giving us the opportunity to go along with your family into the future...God Bless you Mike and kids!! ❤
Thanks Mike, I look everyday to see if you have a new video out, always do enjoy your work on you tube! Different is always somewhat fearful, the unknown can be a challenge for sure. Speaking from experience. You are a great example to your kids and it will serve them well in life as they watch Dad walk thru this period of his life. Good job, keep plugging!
Well, Mike, I’m not gonna lie. I have a really hard time watching The other channel. I think you really worked your butt off on that place.. and I know your house is going to be gorgeous as it already is and it will even get better. I love your videos. I’m sorry all the split up but you’re a strong man and I know there are wonderful things to come and watching your videos thank you so much
Great to see you doing so well. Your positive attitude is infectious. I have found my self in a severe depression and will now challenge myself to explore life!
I really like your new digs. Wish my home was that nice. You're quite the father to give your son the Master Bedroom. So excited to see you moving forwards with this new chapter in your life. Thank you So Much for keeping us posted. I wish you the Very Best!
So glad to see you back, Mike ,this is just the beginning. When one door shuts another one opens. Great things are ahead for you. Our Wyoming Life is not the same. Just saying. Can't wait for the next video. God Bless.
Glad you got everything done and don't worry God got you. Just be as helpful as you can and move on. Just take God with you. God loves you and so do your followers, both for you and Erin. God bless and look forward to your channel
Glad you gave up those cigarettes!! Your children are blessed that they have both parents still by their sides as they are navigating life. They will be stronger individuals as long as they are reminded that this divorce was none of their faults. Looking forward to the seeing the finished basement. Keep being busy living life Mike.
Been checking for new videos. Finally! Glad you are getting settled! You are upbeat despite adversity! I noticed the cross on the wall…lean on the Lord as He will direct your path! Appreciate you!
Great new house! Glad to see you are all settling in to your new home! Loving all the new pets! Like others have said, what ever projects you do I will be watching, too! 👍🏼♥️👍🏼♥️👍🏼♥️👍🏼♥️👍🏼
Mike, you made that Ranch. I just can't hardly watch anymore without you there. I'm glad to see you happy. If you are ever in Richmond Indiana, you can stop and video are Farm. You will always be welcome. You have touched ALOT of ppls lives more than you know. Thanks for that
I tried watching one but like you said not the same
Let it go let it go life changes
@@mea3665 That’s what they are doing, letting OWL go.
Mike you look a bit lost. Looks like a lot of fun you have planned for us
That family of Erin's MADE that ranch long before Mike came along.
Mike made it public. Be real here.
No matter what projects you work on, I will always be watching. So happy you are in your new home. Thank you Mike for always being you !!
So glad you got the house you wanted, that you've stopped smoking, that the kids like their second home.
Keep moving forward.
Happy to be able to watch these videos as you share them.
So happy to see you back in the saddle!
Wow, 25K views in less than 24 hours -- proves how much people love you, Mike!!! We are here for you and support you fully!!
Very very happy to see this.............
Have you thought about becoming a ranch manager? It would be right up your alley with all your experence.
You think he didn’t have a good look at finding that sort of job but sufficiently close to co parent?
I have to agree or a consultant? You would be great at it!
I think Erin probably should have hired him and left him on the ranch. She is going to struggle to do this alone now. They are co-parenting, they probably could have co-operated the ranch. Easier said than done, I know. Good luck Mike!

Hang in there for a full video. Miss seeing you but understand you are busy with a job and children. You are in our prayers for peace and success.
Yep, Mike was not part of the A Bar Bar plan
You've got a wonderful home, a wonderful yard, wonderful pets, and super-wonderful children. You've got it all! May God continue to bless you in every way.
No matter what projects you work on, I will always be watching. Congratulations on the house purchase, and all the best on your new journey Mike!
I've been smoke free for 25 years. You got this Mike! God bless.
This is a reset. An opportunity for you to Rest. Rebuild. Redirect. Good on ya.
We miss you Mike!!
Glad to see your settled in Mike!!
Congratulations on the new home.

Is Jeff going to come and help you renovate the basement. Thank you for the video. So awesome to see you and see how you are doing
Jeff is back at OWL 🤨
@@dancar4497 that is disappointing
A hole are a dime a dozen 😂
@@teresaflobert3022 agree 100%
Am I really the only one that suspects Jeff is more involved than meets the eye ?

Quitting smoking is a hard battle, right on!
Don't worry about how long it takes the videos to come out. We completely understand! Thank you for updating us and congratulations on your new house!

Everything will work out!!
Hiya Mike, it’s time for an update on you. Miss seeing you.
Very happy you found a home and the children are happy. It's great to see you back Mike. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

I love Casper! She is a pied ball python with high white expression and she's beautiful! I will happily watch all reptile content.
Not a snake person at all. Casper is unique. Just how big is she capable of growing?
Glad to see you moving on from the ranch... I know now it wasn't about the ranch, its about the person living their life
