Built some 2” pipe handrails for the side hustle today, and realized I was kind of tired of my cheap apron just swinging all around at the bottom. Got home, got supper and put the youngins and wife to bed, now I’m up after cutting and stitching on my apron to turn it into a split leg style and make the pockets more functional lol
And yes, I’m in the floor in my kitchen.

My wife was on a podcast a while back, the episode just came out a couple weeks ago. Thought I’d share it here.
PS: there’s actually quite a bit edited out of this episode, like the fact we cut contact with my mom and had to move a couple months prior to my dad passing, and that in December after my first daughter was born I had to have my Australian shepherd, who had been with me for almost exactly a decade, put down.

The ol #TruggaDugga got to earn its keep yesterday, and I got to practice with that ol hot rod Lincoln we mounted. Probably the first time I’ve melted a stick in 10 years or better. Took a couple tips from my boy Evan and I was back to laying decent beads.

Not exactly. You could use it in place of the Vaseline in this little trick video.
Generally speaking stuff like tallow and Vaseline don’t hold flame very well by themselves. You soak a cloth (wick) or cotton ball or other such easily lit object and not only does that object become water resistant but it now lights easier and burns longer.

I can’t tell you the last time I ate any chicken, it all seems to not have any taste. But a hunk of some grass fed beef or pasture raised pork, yes please lol. We tried some local wagyu a few months back (heavily grain fed beef) and even my oldest daughter left it sitting on her plate, while normally she’s picking out the meat and leaving the rest.
All that to say, it may be worth trying to find some local grass fed beef and pork, or even chicken, just to give it a shot and see if it makes any difference in the “funny taste” you referred to. There’s also some theories out there that you shouldn’t be eating all kinds of stuff from other places, because those plants don’t have the same circadian rhythms and the nutrient profiles from those other places may not be what’s needed in your area. Not sure how much credence I put into that but it is something I consider. I’ve not managed to find a local cattle farm I can make work with our schedule so most of our beef comes from Aldi.

I agreed that he was a socialist and hypocrite, but from what I’d seen he wrote the book as propaganda against some other form of socialism that he didn’t like.
