Ooopfh. The potholes in the road are filled. After 6 super heavy loads in the wheelbarrow. I just need to make sure the sweeper doesn't come down the road and undo all my hard work. The apiary is cleaned up so I have room to build the stand for the hive. Moving the hive indoors this year in hopes of actually getting them to overwinter for once. The hardest part will be keeping the mice out. #homesteading #farming #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Ya ever see a plug come apart like that? That was the start to the morning yesterday as I took the boys to school. Aparently the wire and contact had broken up and were in a major fight which caused the 1st cylinder to not exactly want to work right. Mid day I installed the new plugs and wires and what do you know, it runs like a champ now. Especially once I had cleared the codes. It would seem that 2025 is my mechanic year where everything gets worked on... #homesteading #diy #mechanics #whatnext #hive #peakd #dailyblog

The ONLY middle east peace plan that will last forever.

Slowly but surely I'm getting the valve work done on the head. It's not turning out to be terribly difficult but so far nothing is proving to be bad or likely to have been causing the sound. At this point I'm commited so have to finish the job. GR8 is only 4 goals away from the record after getting number 891 last night. I hope he does it this season! #homesteading #mechanics #nhl #hive #peakd #dailyblog

After dealing with the raspberry virus that had infected my greenhouse yesterday I got started on taking the head apart. To keep all the parts together I am using egg cartons which are working perfectly. So far nothing is looking bad but I will change the seals and brush the valves before putting is back together. #homesteading #diy #3dp #mechanics #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Fuck Yeah! After 4 miles of hiking yesterday and thousands of feet of vert I managed my first flight of the year from our new site. Swoop Mountain and the ridge is an outstanding east face. 9 pilots from the club flew from 3 different launch sites.

Yesterday the birds weren't too pleased that I spread the grain and didn't let them in on the deal. They have the rest of the farm to roam so they can just deal with not being in the gardens. In the afternoon we went for a hike up to the upper property and have decided on the trees we will use for the eventual treehouse. This is the view it will have looking down the valley. #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

After the wet run for grain in the morning yesterday I managed to finally get the head off the truck but now I'm trying to diagnose the problem. Once the tool gets here later today I can remove the valves and see if the problem lies there or elsewhere. Very frustrating. #homesteading #mechanics #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Holy shit the head bolts are torqued in tight! After buying the right sized hex socket yesterday afternoon I managed to get a couple loose but had to easy out the other one. I'll hopefully get the rest out this morning and have the head off to see if I can figure out the problem. It'd be nice if the rain moves off soon so I'm not having to work in it all day. #homesteading #diy #mechanics #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Yesterday morning

GO FIGURE. 15 days since the last one, at least this wreck wasn't as bad as the prior. 4th one on scene I was once again out on the highway clearing debris so traffic could still move through. Incredibly the half a house managed to squeeze between and was quite thankful for my efforts. Everyone is okay, just minor injuries. The motor is still getting torn down and the real fight is the exhaust bolts. I have one left on this side then the head can come off. "OFF WITH ITS HEAD!" Hopefully. #homesteading #3dp #carwreck #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Such shit. The truck motor is NOT fixed and I am tearing it apart for the THIRD time now. Something is fucked in the head so now I have to dig deeper... So frustrating. I removed the ancient tint from the sled windows and holy balls is it nice to be able to see through them. Was not easy by any stretch but the vast majority is off and the alcohol did good at removing residue. #homesteading #diy #mechanics #hive #peakd #dailyblog

The timing chians went on with little trouble and I managed to get the bulk of the motor back together yesterday. I was so sore in the evening I had to give in and wait to today to finish it up.

Superb powder #skiing yesterday at the mountain. Only his 5th time skiing we went down his first black diamond in the trees then we hit his first double black diamond in more trees. The powder meant neither were to rating and were much more mellow. He did outstanding and had a great time! I did a grain run before we went and then on the way back from the mountain a turkey decided to commit harakiri and walked in front of our car. "Ya ever see a turkey come apart like that?" Fucker blasted the headlight and the quarter panel but it's fixable. #Homesteading #diy #mechanics #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Quite the day yesterday. Poor dude got his arm hurt #wrestling so he got a visit to the urgent care, but it is just flesh/muscle and not bone so he has a sling for a bit. I was able to get the hay bale for the sheep in the afternoon then got the burn pile going. I'd been wanting to get it burned all winter so it's good to finally have it gone.

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.
