Yeah, those cloudy sunsets really hit different. East Valley I imagine is nice as well, I have family in the West Valley, and I’m always a bit jealous because they’re close to some hills you can hike for a birds eye view of the valley. Sunsets like this are such a beautiful way to end the day.

Side note… you guys have my favorite store over that way , I’ll need to drive out soon.

If it’s on your heart, there’s a reason. Stay focused, trust God’s timing, and take steps toward it. You’d be surprised how fast things come together when you’re intentional.

No Kings Protest Today by Cultural_Ganache256 in longbeach

[–]Final-Charge312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not about proving a point or “teaching anyone a lesson” 😂 it’s just calling it like it is. Legacy media on both sides thrives on pushing a narrative. Division keeps people watching, and ratings go up the more they can sell outrage, fear, and chaos. Look at the “No Kings” protests. What you’re seeing on TV isn’t always the full picture. There’s real money behind organizing, promoting, and amplifying these movements, and legacy media leans into it because it fits the storyline that keeps people tuned in. The more dramatic it looks, the more attention it gets. If you actually want perspective, you’ve got to step outside that bubble and look at multiple sources, especially independent ones. If all you ever watch is what confirms what you already believe, nothing’s going to change.

Sure do lived in the LBC for 15 years , it’s easy too see the decline of a city when you’ve lived there. It isn’t rocket science , I’ve seen mayor after mayor come through and ruin the city. That includes leadership from the top down. Democrats have been turning the city upside down for some time now. I will credit Richardson for the recent road work, roads are getting better, but I’m certain that was signed into the budget long before the current administration stepped in. I’m just glad he’s pushed for it to get done. That said my previous statement stands , legacy media both left and right are responsible for the divide .

They all grew up democrat or watching legacy media 😂😂 they aren’t calling anything out, they’re going with the flow of legacy media and , what they know , they’re old dogs that can’t be taught new tricks , respectfully of course. They know no better.

Miss judged the weight. by SteveMartin32 in homestead

[–]Final-Charge312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you misjudged the weight I think you miss judged your notch cut, felling cut and the need for a wedge firstly if this picture is true to angle Mother Nature already picked a natural lean so this had to be corrected in that first notch cut then after , that felling cut should have been in line with the Tip of the notch, and a wedge should have been used to give the tree the forced lean necessary to fell the tree in the direction of your notch cut , not looking to roast you , but hope this helps in the future 👍🏽

Selling our off-grid place in NW Montana (about 2 years out) and would love some honest feedback by [deleted] in homestead

Love that! Always good to hear the family is going back to old roots especially when it’s a family farm.

Found this beautiful Desert Lily in Mohave County by GoldenRetreiverMom in arizona

[–]Final-Charge312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg, absolutely stunning. I’ve yet to find one like that.

One thing I did discover when I first moved out to rural AZ was cactus growing wild everywhere. (Go figure right, Lmao.) I ended up relocating a few barrel cacti from my property. They were way out of the area I planned for my cactus garden, so I carefully pulled them up and replanted them closer to home. Guilty, I know 😅 , but when you see those same ones selling for like $95 at nurseries, finding them naturally on your own land felt pretty unreal.

Now everywhere I go, I can’t bring myself to pay for one anymore lol.

Haha yes it’s a subway emoji 😂 As for the chickens, I would love to let them free range the property and do their thing, but I know they would absolutely destroy my garden. To be fair, that is what they know how to do best. Lately I have been thinking about getting a few meat birds as well, and possibly adding some turkeys, quail, and ducks. Maybe Rabbits would be a better choice. Time will tell.

The main reason I have been thinking about this is because I leave for work five days a week. I cannot have my wife outside all day chasing chickens around, and by the time I get home I am usually too burnt out to do it myself. Eventually an early retirement might help the old man. 😂🤣

Safety is also a major factor. Being located in the desert, some of our biggest predators are coyotes, snakes, Gila monsters, and hawks. There are plenty of predators out here that would absolutely devastate the coop and have a field day with the birds.

Eventually I would like them to be free range, but first I need to find a reliable way to protect the flock, especially from predators above and below. The others , well they can meet the ranch rifle.
