The engine is out again. I'm getting good at this now, specially by myself being able to move the weighted hoist in the gravel. It's looking like the rear main is the culprit for which I will be ordering OEM this time to hopefully ensure a proper fit and it NOT blowing out on me in 2 weeks. Enough of the #diy it really should be #dim for "did it myself" FML! #mechanics #toyota #diy #dim #homesteading #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Stoked on the new version of the Flies of the NW book. Much nicer than my old one and all in color now. Going to a tying class today at the Fly Shop and will hand out some bobbin holders I have printed out. Need to try for commercial license and figure out good embossing. #homesteading #flyfishing #flytying #hive #peakd #dailyblog
The sheep are WAY WAY happier now with the bridge over the mud I made for them. I'm actually rather proud of them for not baulking at walking across the pallet, though their fresh bale was on the other side so that was REALLY good incentive. #homesteading #farming #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Anyone know if Roni Bandini is on Nostr? This is a PERFECT project for integrating with! #Meshtbank #meshtastic #btc
Managed to cobble together my threads finally. They were spread out around the farm in a few places but now I have them all together again and back in my fly tying kit where they belong. I had looked at getting more at the Fly Shop the other day but thought better of it... for good reason it seems. #homesteading #flytying #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Minot is one home of the B-52 and they are damned unique looking and sounding. Like an ungainley prehistoric bird wallowing through the air. Only these birds can turn the earth to glass. #Minot #NorthDakota #vastness #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Made it to ND yesterday. Really it is such an insanely flat state and you can see for miles in any direction. The lack of trees helps you to see so far. The west side of the state has a ton of oil rigs still working. The flares from the wells are like candles glowing in the vastness. #northdakota #montana #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Amazing to have the weather good this time of year for travel. Farm to Billings yesterday and Billings to Minot today. The sunset yesterday was stunning as we neared Billings. #travel #Montana #hive #peakd #dailyblog
The Onion restaurant has a MASSIVE birthday sundae! The thing is in a massive goblet topped with cake, cotton candy, and whipped cream. It took all 4 of us to attack it and some still came home with us. Oh and my elk burger was super tasty. #birthday #homesteading #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Pretty big "mehhhh" day yesterday. The coyote was back and the shotgun scared it off ony to have it snag our neighbor's chicken. Traps are set for it in hopes. Lots of snowflake prints done and need a lot more for the next craft fair. Found these #mushrooms which I could swear are edible but aren't showing up in my books. #homesteading #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog
