Week of August 3, 2025 – A new-old Freezer truck, much MB activity, & end of Summer Semester 2025.

(Above: A photo of me driving the freezer truck to the slaughterhouse for the first time. The truck performed very well.

Final Note: It was a productive week. I advanced to a new chapter in Book 2 – TLB (must note that the chapter from which last week’s epigraph came was one of my personal favorites thus far) and finished another semester of school amidst helping a little with the farm, working a little on the Guesthouse, tending to life’s daily essentials, and tending muchly to the store. In that latter case, I think it would be nearly as difficult to say how many pounds of beef I handled and rehandled as it would be to say how many people I spoke with face-to-face (cara-a-cara), over the phone, via text, via email, and via socials.

Truth be told, though, it was a thoroughly enjoyable week. Even better, if all goes as planned, this coming week will also be quite enjoyable albeit in a different manner. I have a hunch that my office in the next post will look a wee bit different:

  1. This week’s opening picture, to me, reflects the theme of your blog. That is, trying new things and things and getting things done. Sure great food and Segway herd checks are a constant, but with that there’s always the underlying ‘what if’ potential and the combo is terrific. Tremendous week.
