I stayed up late yesterday to finish my baking. Here is one of the Jalapeno Cheddar loaves I made. Can’t wait to dig into it tomorrow!
Homesteading
Pushing on despite the heat!

More work on the bathroom. I got up early and got in the attic and got the old wires pulled, and more new wire run, as well as the network cable.
A view of the existing bathroom fan that is/was venting to the attic. The yellow wire is the new wire for the bathroom.
Busy Wednesday…
Obligatory goat video!
Today was busy, I spent time up in the attic, but didn’t take pictures, chasing wires and trying to get things sorted. I spent some time hunting down a missing ground on a couple outlets. I found two ground wires not connected, and fixed them, but that wasn’t the final answer – still missing the ground, so more hunting is necessary!

A couple of videos for today. We start with goat shenanigans of a seemingly stuck Zanzi.
More goat shelter, bread, and dinner!

In all its glory, here is a completed goat shelter! I had dragged it over in a rush yesterday afternoon as a storm was rolling through. The goats in this pen were already moved to a sheltered spot, so much ado about nothing. Anywho, it was staged and ready for use the next day!

The box is still the best new toy! Check out the video below for more shenanigans!
Warming up the new Microwave!

Checking on the remaining mama turkey. She has taken up residence behind our A/C compressor. I’ve been checking on her the past few days. I haven’t seen any eggs hatch, a couple have popped (gone bad). And at this point, I’m not confident any of these eggs are viable any longer.
Bread! and a dead microwave!

The loaves from yesterday’s post all done! I have two basic sourdough loaves, one jalapeno cheddar, and a sourdough rye loaf.
Early Monday Practice!
Monday, 3 August 2026
Today started early. Arya’s volleyball practice started up today, which of course runs from 0600 – 0800, which means we (well, one of us and Arya anyway) are up at 0500 to get her there.
A happy, but sleepy Arya, is ready to go to practice!
Soccer & Blimp Sunday

Another soccer practice. Randal enjoys being a big kid and playing as the goalie, just like big brother Evan!
Morning chicken video!
