I got about half yesterday dry before the rains hit and hit hard. The whole afternoon was dumping rain but despite that I was still able to keep the fire going in the makeshift firepit so I could grill our burgers for dinner. The ground was frozen so I haven't built the new one yet so this had to suffice. It worked quite well though. #homesteading #diy #grilling #hive #peakd #dailyblog

The timing chains arrived yesterday but I still have to tear the motor apart again. Super annoying but it has to be done and I should have them on today hopefully. It's been hard to keep the calm with each setback but if I don't I'll break something like has happened too many times before. Here I am nearing 50 and FINALLY beginning to learn this. #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Mostly a house chores day yesterday as I kept the #3dprinter going much of the time. Pulled the codes on the car and found the o2 sensors are toast so have them ordered, the timing chains for the truck will be here today, I got the new skis setup to the boots so we are ready for the next trip, then watched the Kraken be embarrassed. #homesteading #chores #hive #peakd #dailyblog

After years of the thing blocking the creek I FINALLY got the stump moved from the pinch point. It has been a major problem in higher waters with the backup. I was able to use the water to get it to float out which lightened the effort immensely. Now I won't have to worry as much about possible road washouts but when the waters are lower this summer I will work on the pinch point to open it up some. #homesteading #diy #3dp #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Some serious graupel dumped yesterday. Thankfully it wasn't hail since some of the styro-snow chunks got up to about 1/2" in size. It dumped super hard for minutes and then POOF it was gone. Then a short while later the next cell came over and BAMMM a deluge of graupel. #homesteading #spring #hive #peakd #dailyblog

The sheep and birds were all very impatient about getting the grain yesterday morning. The super slick ground made it pretty hard to get the trailer backed into the pen so it ended up just inside. The pole garden got the second coating and will be ready to till when the ground dries more. My truck is still not working right yet... Maybe the timing chains???? #fml #homesteading #mechanics #farming #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Spring snow made yesterday fun as we went to the #wrestling tournament up north. He did great in his matches winning one, losing one, and winning the third on scratch of opponent to get thrid place. I worked on the timing tensioners in my truck but am stumped on how to get #2 & 3 out without removeing the timing cover and cams.... So frustrating. At least it rained all night so the snow is gone. #homesteading #diy #mechanics #hive #peakd #dailyblog

First day on the mountain with our season passes yesterday and leave it to our youngest to BREAK his ski, like nearly in half. Even the shop hadn't seen that before. I have to try and find a new set for him so we can go up over spring break. Local Spokane astronaut launched to space as the flight commander which was super cool to watch. It's her second stint on the space station. #skiing #homesteading #SpaceX #hive #peakd #dailyblog

It was her birthday yesterday and we had a great day. Brunch out mid day, time together while the boys were at school, then dinner out in the evening. We have season passes for the ski mountian now and she managed to overcome the shyness and got up and sang at dinner. I did a good job of making her #birthday great. #homesteading #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Big accomplishment for me getting the engine fiully reassembled and IT STARTED!!! That means I got the timing setup correct! BUT the clanging sound is still there. I am damn positive that it's the timing tensioners that are bad and the new ones will be here tomorrow for swapping on Saturday. The valve covers come off but that's as deep as I will have to go this time. #3dprinted covers for my ice screws that work perfectly and will protect them for al lthe adventures they will see. #homesteading #mechanics #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog
