Great post! I got a cold this week and have been feeling overworked... came onto steemit and read this post. Then I said, what am I doing on steemit!? I signed off and got some rest :) Thanks for reminding me that downtime and self love is needed!
Btw I finally saw your episode on Homestead Rescue last night.. wow how amazing and wonderful! I was glad to see your home got completed right in the nick of time ;) Also I feel like I know you both a little better - I can tell you are great people with your hearts in the right place. Extra hippie points for using canola oil in the chainsaw!! I love that! Nice going standing up for your beliefs even if it seems funny or pointless to someone else :)
Ya, what were you doing on steemit? Apparently being reminded to rest.. lol happy you took some downtime. Soooooo crucial to give the body time and space to rest. Happy to share.
So glad you saw and enjoyed the show, and thanks for your kind words. Our hearts are fully into the land and values we're living out.
Marty actually was intrigued by lubing with "canoly" oil. He even took a swill for a shot that didn't make the cut, then made a joke about shitting through a screen ... ROFL
although maybe didn't care that much, I had all 10 saws on site filled over sawdust boxes and used canola For lube.
P.s. Petroleum B&C oil is outlawed in the EU
LOL!! Awesome! I have been getting into homestead rescue with @idyllwild this week and while there is a lot of hollywood editing, I am really appreciative of the family values and genuine care that the Raneys have for their work. Quite interesting to see the hollywood angle though! Some homesteads are presented as absolute disasters.. I think yours came off as a lot of caring and positive intentions ! Nice going, helping to give a good impression of homesteading!
