FML! Camped in the closed rest area then got the tow to Missoula. Got my line in the Clark Fork finally, something I have wanted to do for much of my life. Lesson learned as well. Am home now and not very happy with life. All that work just went right out the window. All the time, effort, focus, hopes, desires are feeling rather shattered right now. Just fucking sucks! #hive #peakd #dailyblog
The truck is ready and I got my solar battery box built in the afternoon yesterday. Seems the battery is shit but the system works so I will get a new battery this morning and it will be good to go. Ready for my trip! #homesteadsing #diy #3dprinting #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Seriously, I have NEVER seen a snake caught in a mouse trap before in my life. It's the second pic in my post... The thing was after a mouse that was caught in another trap. Just wild. Poor snake. The truck is just about finished with just very minor things left to fix. The rack is on and super solid and I have oodles of space left in the bed. Really stoked with how it's come out and my bike fits exactly on it. #homesteading #diy #hive #peakd #dailyblog
I'm cutting this all REALLY close as I wanted my truck finished weeks ago, but alas here I am just days before my trip and I'm still finishing it up. The end is in sight though and I'm rather pleased with how it is coming together. The transmission hoses are in place and holding well and now the rack is half installed to be finished this morning. #homesteading #diy #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Kick ass weekend of comedy. First Dave Attell Friday then Doug Stanhope last night with Attell coming on stage at the end of the show. Great table mates had great conversation before the show and I laughed harder this weekend than I have in years. I really needed that! #homesteading #comedy #laughter #hive #peakd #dailyblog
The exhaust is FIXED! But in the process I found that the metal oil cooler line for the transmission cracked and has a hole. The metal will get replaced with hose I will get today. It has take na while but the truck is really going to be dialed in once I am done. #homesteading #diy #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog
The bulk of the summer squash plants got yarded out of the ground and hauled to the sheep and alpaca who devoured all the best parts they could find as soon as the plants hit the ground. It leaves just 5 plants that have been producing ok. This year is the first in over a decade that I have the garden almost finished up in September. #homesteading #farming #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog
