I wanted to take just a second to blog about the fact that I went live on YouTube this morning while I fed the animals....

March 5th 2024
Today my sister came close to yelling at me, but didn't. Still the feel of spontaneous anger caused by me took her by surprise. I guess in the 5 months of being here, shed witnessed very few failures and taking care of making sure the dogs get fed and watered is vital...
SNL West Coast
I know it’s technically the same time in the grand scheme of the universe but when I moved out to the West Coast I really expected Saturday night Live but still play at 11:30. I’m very happy to learn it plays at 8:30 p.m. and I can be asleep much earlier.
The Rooster Attack
We have two Roosters, although I’m not certain why. One s pretty and one is mean and ugly. It doesn’t like me. This video shows him keeping an eye on me, and attacking me at the end.
My eyes stay dark.
For the last few years, I have been sleeping with a hat. It covers my eyes when I sleep so it is essentially dark in my head, even if the room or sunlight is bright in the room. I am able to wake, but not evaluate the darkness. It allows me to drop back to sleep faster, but has the side effects that I can think about sleep without looking at the clock. Instead of waking because it's bright, I...
Vegan cows
I was surprised to learn that I posted this and somebody else was shocked that I would call cows vegan. I didn’t stick around to ask why
Smiles in January
During November and December, I am often down. They are depressing months for me, not only because of the Christmas season and the gift giving rituals, but also the music and the fake happiness that surrounds the season. in January, I look forward to new. It's Monday and I can. get excited about the possibility of this year being better than the last. So far it's been going pretty well. It's...
The gate I invented instead of sleeping.
It's just past midnight on a mid December Monday. My brain is thinking of the connections that had to have happened previous to tonight that led me to my latest iteration in my mind of the auto closing farm gate. My early days on the farm involved occasionally being a passenger to the car or farm ATV around the property. The passengers only duty is to open and close the various gates before and...
My morning walk with punch lines
I've been thinking about what I can talk about during my morning walk because the actual chore doesn't change much and isn't interesting but I do like the idea of making sure films regularly so I have to ease myself into actual content instead of just me breathing heavy in the snow as I walk up the hill.[video data-wpid="154"...
Morning chore is a chore
The cows are cute but feeding them is still a pain. A constant chore
Wet Hay, and me
Today’s the first day that I have been somewhat stranded in the rain. I guess anything’s better than snow at this point
Big Ben
Ben looks like a great Pyrenees dog. He's huge and white and has the dew claws. Apparently he's not officially a great Pyrenees but he's close. The second dog I ever owned was a great Pyrenees and he was quite dumb and unfortunately chaste moving cars so he didn't last very long in my childhood but I always loved him best because as a kid great big fluffy dogs are fun.As an adult great big...
The chain of events
It was 630am the day after my birthday. The phone rang. It kept ringing and I woke up mid dream eventually but didn't quite unlock the phone in time. Then it rang again and I saw the message; SOS. THE SITE IS DOWN. I knew why. It was my fault, sort of. I forgot to finish a task yesterday. The second part of a two step process to download and delete two backup files which were huge and violated...
Comparing Better
There is no denying that living in a bedroom that is almost 100° f is a bed that is infested with bed bugs that eat away at you each night by the hundreds in a house owned by an unpredictable control freak with lots of issues is not a healthy environment. My current home is not by any comparison a bad living environment. But I'm still me, and that's where my problems start. I'm the problem. It's...
Life choices and blog decisions
Guilt tripping in total darkness in my bedroom knowing I’ll be up late again.
My first dog show
My sister owns and breeds Havanese dogs for show. This year, I was asked to come along and take photographs and videos but I stayed in the club booth for aa lot of the time, and sold a lot of merch.
