A little play farm near the big city has been our dream for a long time. We’ll have chickens, rabbits, maybe a steer. There are deer everywhere. Love venison but hate deer hunting, so efficiently and easily harvesting them will be great.

My wife works from home as a RN, I’ve been doing manufacturing consulting. Consulting has been miserable, so I’m just going to start my own machine shop.

Mobile is pretty different from the rest of the state. We’re from the northern end. Gulfport is in Mississippi, IIRC.

It’s a beautiful state, I’m really going to miss the land. Have a jar of the red clay dirt to take with me.

It’s so much quieter there. The muffler laws seem to actually be enforced. In Alabama, the penis trucks have become so loud they interrupt conversations inside.

At the voting booth, politics are about the same, however, our neighbors have become scary here. There have been major fascist changes in the state and it has gotten real spooky.

While rural is very much red in Pennsylvania, the cities are blue and that influences lots of things in rural areas. The schools are also way better, my son has been doing online school for a while due to how bad they are here. It will be good for him to actually go back to a physical school.

Yeah, the politics aren’t great there either, but it’s no where near as bad as what we’ve been dealing with.

I’m really looking forward to actually having seasons. First time we were there, people were talking about how bad a heat wave they were having and it was still better than Alabama.

I’m a redneck, and from what I’ve seen so far, I’ll mostly be at home with the people there.

I was about to say, some elbow grease, and it’s probably pretty okay under there.

Takes way more rust than you would think to ruin cast iron.

Near Pittsburgh, close enough to go to the big city, but far enough out to be in the country.

Looks like it is showing some etoiliation on the new bud. It has to bud to continue to grow as it was cut of when planted. Aerial root may mean that it is root bound in that pot.

Larger pot with the correct soil for dragon fruit, more sun.

Altar!

35 is for when the kid is in the truck.

45 is for my damaged hearing by myself.

60 is all the way up, bass boost off, most songs don’t distort the sub.

Farm and eweka.

I drive a 98 Ranger XLT, it has a 5900 lb towing capacity. I’m pretty much going to keep fixing it forever.

I second this recommendation, was going to post the same thing. Just watch out for cats and permethrin, it is neurotoxic for them.

Dikes or pair of dikes also refers to diagonal cutters. (Look like pliers with blades instead of jaws at the end) They are used for cutting sheet metal, also, wire cutters are also called dikes. Can also be used as a verb: Dike off the corner of that piece of steel, or, dike out that part of the circuit.

My wife is bi and it always messes with her when I say it. Just a trade term.

I’ve used this app for years. It’s pretty great. You can slow the animation and move forward and reverse through tricky parts of the knots. I have the Arbor Knot, the Orvis Knot favorited for fishing. I also use the Adjustable Grip Hitch for adult type stuff, it’s magic.

IIRC, I read that it may have a longer asymptomatic period than mad cow does in humans. Which is spooky. They have been able to infect primates with it.

I’ll be getting my venison tested before we consume any.

Wish there was a DIY way to test. Looked into it a little but couldn’t find the protocol used for testing.

The majority of pumps in my area play ads. Some of the pumps can’t be muted. For those, press the top left and right buttons, then next two down, then the next two and it throws it into maintenance mode. That shuts off the speaker.

Was it Friends? “The One With the Dirty Girl.” Ross is dating Rebecca Romijin and her apartment is absolutely trashed?

Damn. I was really hoping this would be a ray of light for the next year and a reduction in the level of election insanity we’re going to see.

Instead, just more fuel for the flames.

I appreciate the kind words.

My wife is WFH. I’ve been working on building a manufacturing consulting and CNC programming business. Want to buy a small mill, can probably make good money just picking up odd jobs. These days I call myself a manufacturing consultant, but I’m really just an aerospace machinist.

We’ve literally been planning this move since 2020 when everyone around us lost their fucking minds. We’re hoping we have enough saved to get a mortgage on a small play farm.
