We won't have a phone until next week so this week's show is cancelled.

We're all moved in on 2 acres. Our workshop now houses the Bear Mountain Tomahawk Company www.bmtomahawks.com and we're good to go. Now we just need the phone up.

The garden that we planted before we even moved in is coming along nicely. We have potatoes, tomatoes (12 types), peppers (bell and hot), squash (4 types), melons (2 types), artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, lettuces, bok choi, carrots (2 types) and more. All are heirloom/open pollinated.

The goat should be here next weekend. We're getting him from some friends who don't have the room for him and we'll get him a girlfriend and maybe a buddy so that they can play. They're very social animals and don't like to be alone.

We also plan on some pigs and chickens. 2 acres is too small for cattle but I'm looking into the miniture cows as a substitute. Cattle used to be smaller than they are today and so I'm looking into basically heirloom cattle. Cows that haven't been cross-bred to create these giant cows we have today. They smaller ones run 500-750 pounds instead of the 1200+ pounders raised on ranches. They're easier to handle, require less space and eat less. I need to research it more.

I hope that everyone is keeping their eyes on the news - we have North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, China and Russia and here at home we have to now worry about a VAT tax along with all the other socialist BS going on.

STOCK UP, STOCK UP, STOCK UP AND PREPARE!!! I really can't stress it enough to everyone. It's not just hurricanes and wildfires, the economy is also an issue.

This is all under your own control.
