Time flies by so fast on the homestead. Seems like just yesterday we was at the start of spring and now its full on summer. Wont be long till leaves are flying 😞

The garden is starting to come along. This second year of doing no-till is proving very interesting. Some of the things I tried worked out really well some not so good. So far the only thing to really pop up is radishes, a few volunteer carrots and of course the rhubarb. I got my hot peppers in the ground yesterday so that's something. If it don't rain later this afternoon I'm planning on getting corn in.

The little fellas, Mutt and Jeff are doing so good. They wait at the coop door for me every morning when I go out to let them out and then come out to stand on my feet and chirp at me. I really hope they stay just as friendly once they are grown.

I had a action-packed weekend last week as we had a double shot wrestling show. Unfortunately neither one drew a great big crowd so the merchandise selling wasn't great but I did get to do commentary on both and ring announce the second. With the price of gas traveling 2 hours to each was rough and I took a loss on the weekend but there's always the video footage for down the road. Building this company has taken a lot of work and it's cost me a lot of money and time away from home but hopefully one day it will pay off.

Another casualty or at least I believe it to be a casualty of the gas prices is the fact that eBay is completely dead. Most of my items don't even get views let alone any watchers or sales. Hopefully it'll turn around soon but I'm not counting on it until at least the fall.

Everything else here is pretty much the same we just keep carrying on. Dad celebrated his 80th birthday on Monday. Sometimes I really have a hard time with his aging. I really don't want to face what's coming in the future and I just try to enjoy every minute that I have with him and absorb his knowledge.

Thanks for reading my little update talk to you all later.

Half an hour left in June. I'm amazed at how fast it went by. Seems like last week we was sitting at camp during Memorial Day Weekend.

This year we are doing something different here on the homestead. It's our first ever KochLand Christmas In July celebration. Mostly it's just a excuse for me to put up lights lol. Actually it serves a purpose as our storage shed needs organization in the worst way and it will be much easier to do with the holiday decorations out of the way. It should be fun too!

I still haven't found the front end problem in the Olds. I took it to Walmart Thursday and on a short drive yesterday, it pulls slightly to the right now. I'd really like to be able to get this fixed by Saturday.

I cheated Thursday night and had a small piece of stromboli then ate McyDs Friday. Yesterday the guts wanted Arby's on our way home so I ate a order of loaded fries and I've been paying for it since. I've not had a bite all day and my belly is so sore. Back on #Keto!

Big week upcoming, let's kill it!

It's been a crazy couple of days!

First of all we left we could go tomorrow night for Kentucky. Drove all night getting there in the early afternoon. We loaded up the rig turned around and headed home. had to make a few more stops and we had planned but we still made it home by early Saturday afternoon.

I got to spend exactly 11 minutes at my house and I had to turn around and leave again. This time it was too Tamaqua PA for a show. The show went well and I actually made more money than I ever have at the merch table. another long drive home and I was exhausted when I got here.

Sleep found me shortly after I got home and I never actually woke up until the next afternoon. This happened to be my 42nd birthday but I didn't really get to enjoy it at all. Tyler did come up for a little bit and I got to enjoy a few minutes with him but I was in such a daze that it really wasn't worth anything. this is unfortunate because I haven't really even gotten to talk to him in the last couple weeks except for when we went bowling a couple Sundays ago. I soon fell back to sleep after he left and never woke up until 3:30 Monday morning. So you can tell exactly how my sleep schedule has been.

I was up pretty late Monday night and then had to get up early Tuesday morning to head off to Philadelphia. We had a meeting with one of the executives of Impact Wrestling. So we now find ourselves as the promotion team for their two upcoming TV tapings in May. This is great and an excellent opportunity for me and my crew.

You're at home not much has been going on. My cousin Has returned to taking care of the chickens and ask become a thorn in my side. I miss the days when they were just mine. she caught an attitude over the way I had been taken care of them even though I believe it was far superior to anything she did and never mind the fact that she basically abandoned them for 3 months. It's okay though I still get out and get an egg every now and then and that's all I really need until I can get my own set up going this summer hopefully.

The brakes on the cavalier are acting up. It's leaking fluid from somewhere and I'm not sure where. I can still manage to get around for now but this is another stress that I just can't deal with. I would have worked on them today but it was cold and windy here and my body said take a day off KJ.

Not sure what's coming up for the rest of this week except for the wrestlemania festivities. I really expected last year at this time that I would be there and I honestly had the chance to go, a free ticket to me and I had to turn it down because of my finances. such as life I guess when you're trying to do such an unconventional thing as I am.

Seems like another sleepless night for me. I'm getting pretty used to it. I've even taken to using #KJDontSleep

Pretty much been in a holding pattern last few days. The weekend went ok. We did a podcast Friday that really didn't get us anywhere. Saturday was fun but not as productive as I had hoped. Sunday Tyler and I went to a bowling fundraiser. It was a great time but too short and I bought us lunch. That was another expensive thing I could have done without. It's hard sometimes....

Our weather hasn't been too bad. Warmer anyway. They are saying 70 this Saturday!

I leave on Thursday night/Friday morning with a couple folks to go to Kentucky and pick up a new ring for NTW. I will get home Saturday morning just to turn around and head off to Tamaqua for a show. Crazy weekend! Then Tuesday it's to Philly for a meeting. Then it's Mania week!

This is insane!

Had a pretty good weekend. Made over a hundred dollars at the show so that's a huge help. Lots of good networking too.

Our mini warm up last week was so nice. It got cooler Saturday but not horrible and starting Wednesday it's supposed to turn again. Lucky enough we had a lot of wind and that helped with the mud.

My sleep has been no better. I was up all of last night then crashed from 10-4. Makes it so hard to get stuff done.

Another big weekend coming. We have a huge show in Harrisburg on Saturday. I am a little nervous about this one. Hoping for a big crowd.

Under 2 weeks till my birthday, like that really means anything anymore.

We made it to Hazelton yesterday. The roads weren't very good but we took it slow and made it safe. Had a great meal at Bonanza. Then it all went nuts.

We came out to find the Blazer would not start. I think it's the fuel pump. So there we was two hours away from home in a snow storm, broke down and pretty screwed.

I call the insurance company to get road side assistance. They couldn't even get a tow truck till morning. We made a few calls and a friend at the show came to our rescue.

We got to the show just before intermission. Second half was good and we managed a little networking.

The trip home was a adventure. 7 people cramped into a wagon. I live the farthest away and was the relay baton lol. Finally home at 1am.

I ate, showered and began trying to get caught up online. Ended up drinking a few and never laid down till 10:30 am.

Scamp woke me at noon then I napped till 3. Got up and watched the race. Made a batch of noodles, they came out great. Planted two peach pits I kept from some a friend gave us last year. Let's see if they will sprout.

Warmer today. Rain coming tomorrow to add to my muddy world.

Thank goodness it's a three day weekend because of President's day!
