Barely Controlled Chaos 04/15/2021 – Feeding People

I have been thinking a lot about next steps. We are not there yet, but I have done more planning here, than I have ever done, and therefore I have been thinking about what we do once we can feed ourselves, and transition to feeding others (selling some of out excess) https://youtu.be/58WIwl369W4

Stay Safe Out there.

I had a little incident this week that got me thinking about safety.

Barely Controlled Chaos 03/10/21 – Looking before You Leap

Today I came across a business idea, well a business someone already has that I think is a good idea, and I talk about how my natural proclivity would be either jump in before I had done all the research, or steer clear out of fear, and trying to find that balance. https://youtu.be/vc95UBmiqCE

Not that we didn’t appreciate the snow, but there are some challenges we thought we’d left behind. https://youtu.be/8BUd7Jmewu8 If the meal I described at the end sounds good to you, here is where youContinueContinue reading “Snow Days”
