Workin at the Homestead- Scout Update-Stacking Firewood.

Description

Full blown winter is almost here, I need to move my seasoned hardwood close to the house, so I can access it much easier while heating the homestead with firewood and a woodstove.

I give an update on my dog, Scout and his lymphoma.

Special appearance by my wife, baby and a dirty old bluejay.

Working at the Homestead, Stacking Firewood is a good feeling.

Video Transcription

we need wood oh hello I have this wood here that I've been piling the other no this is not stack corrected position welcome you there we're burning it inside and also have this way this is five that's almost season but that missing staff obviously it's the winter pine that's not so bad right now it's me it rained on but yeah being being stacked it's much better this is where I planning on stacking it these four pallets here and also I plan on moving all of that wood to under the porch that stuff is no is no peasant life so instead of walking it all over there I'm gonna use the neighbor's four-wheeler and trailer it's pretty slick setup it's already connected so my four-wheeler here is behind me it's that Polaris you guys saw and the neighbor has also the same bike just a couple years older and it's right there look at those tires though starter bad and this trailer they got on there it's pretty cool too it's just a plastic like a ABS type thing but stick and look at those Argo tires there's some bad tires those aren't those aren't gonna get soft in mud I'll pile all the wood in there drive it over to the porch stack it and then start to stacking that big will pile because I got another five cords coming there's my new so you know it's a coin seventeen it's got a third middle seat it's all carbon fiber

what stuff carbon integra got the silhouettes on that Scott from Swift came up and dropped that off one so that something hanging up and it took the place of the old fat boy she's up on a piece of cardboard it's doing just fine isn't he just long [Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

oh man I've done so much work already I gotta take a bacon break real quick no bake come on Scottie with some bacon we're gonna do this again and you're gonna be normal you guys got bacon you might toast with it means thank you just bacon mhm finds garlic girl if you say yes thank you and what you want what could you possibly want

there I feel like it's like way too close to my she's too close for me good thank you

[Applause]

between these two trees just like it was I have another piece of that roofing material that was on top I can put here and then we're gonna build whatever doesn't fit here obviously is going there we have another five cores coming like I said we're gonna build a little awning type thing so screw some straight up-and-down pieces to the pallets cross braces on the sides a little bit of a roof and then either plastic for now or put some more of that roofing material on there put it right here keep it's kind of tucked in a corner here there's Bush wall to the one side push it all to the one side and walk like pushing the front garage so it's in this nice little corner here

[Music]

thinking I might be able to just cut it hard turn right around the truck instead of having to reverse too much we shall see I'll learn it it's just [Music]

[Music]

[Music]

that's another thing for these Christmas lights and the plug are kind of behind here so I can't really go all the way back when I do stock sack the wood before I start stocking here I really do have to rearrange these so that they all sit well I can get a snap tight I'll snap over to here to actually I need a pallet for here and then I'll stock over there that way but woods it's hard this one's already seasoned you know it's ready to go I've earned this look this stuff can sit out in the in the elements in the air and the Sun and I don't think that his glands have grown anymore at all I'm strong but I don't think they've grown so suggestions from everyone on that YouTube video I did and then I posted a little video on Instagram as well and a lots of good stuff there too trying to do a holistic slash chemo thing right so we're starting guys it started chemo yet actually waiting to get the pills and I believe they're pills but I really don't know like they were talking to me about it and they're like here you wear these gloves put this like half basically hazmat suit on so you got kids who do it outside like it's just like it seems so so harsh but I've been doing a lot of research and the specific one I'm doing for Scottie it seems to be not that bad really like they might you might get lethargic or sick for a couple days and then get over it type thing but like I'm trying my best obviously I hope that I hope you would understand that trying to do everything that I can money is not a not an object issue problem or anything like that it's just doing what's right for him specifically you know I mean he's got he's a healthy dog otherwise he's got a lot of fight in them and I'm going to give him his big a chance as I can possibly so doing well on the raw diet my back kind of scoffed at me a bit and said don't worry about it change this food he needs carbo high he needs a lot of carbohydrates or whatever anything like did wolves eat potatoes like I you know I mean and I know it's a different story but in the same respect look he's getting a lot of meat and vegetables and stuff like that it's like ah you know what I mean anyways everybody's trying to do what they think is right now sure so I have faith and I am feeling good about it and scouts pretty good he's chillin he's chillin

so lots of suggestions for oil and I've given him some oil for sure and he's actually eating it earlier today it's been totally fine chillin with me going on hikes every other day today we're sticking around around here I got to do some work and stuff and I just I didn't want to give them the oil for the first time and have it knock them out or whatever so we're just kind of chilling here instead of like being midway through a hike and having kind of collapse or tire or whatever it would be the case maybe so thank you all for all the suggestions again it's really nice to know that Scott is loved you know what I mean he's um he's obviously loved here but he's loved her around the world and like the oak crying of pouring of people with hopeful thoughts and prayers and suggestions and all everything is just really really uplifting and really good to see and experience so thank you very much again once once again Scott is is giving me a whole other experience so I'm sure he's not done yet [Music]
