Here's what I say being in the senior years. Fill each day with Quality things (experiences, things you enjoy to do) and reduce or eliminate things that you don't enjoy to do. We have less days/ hours going forward then we have behind us, so wake up and stop wasting them. Enjoy yourself and bring enjoy to the people around you. Thanks Boss.

Good evening from Copperhill Tn. Being off grid makes life a little nicer. Remember, we'll leave the light on!!!!!😊

Life is good

As the nomad guy Bob Wells says, die with memories, not dreams. It sucks to get old. I am 63 now and retired so I'll go until I drop but no more doctors. I soon hit the road in my RV van to see as much of the USA as possible. Take care and have fun.

❤ and 🙏

I'LL be 80 in 2 months and it sounds old but it's not really a time to slow down. The things I can no longer do don't really matter, because I still have enough things to do that I enjoy. You see as you get older you can do some things that you didn't have patience for. I just love life and it's full of Gods gifts and they are free. Just getting up in the morning and taking a deep breath on the back porch is a gift of pure air and birds and squirrels running around and chattering, the rustle of the leaves as the breeze says hello. I could go on but you know what I mean. Love all your video's my friend, I hope all will be good for you and praying for your health. You are a rich man, you have a good partner and a great pup, and most of all you have faith in the Lord, those are things that money can't buy but when you have them you have as much or more the richest on earth.

Hey boss! I agree with what you said about losing interest in things you used to enjoy in your younger years. My dad will be 70 on Saturday. As a kid growing up I saw him living and breathing hunting and fishing, teaming his oxen and cutting wood and just doing stuff he enjoyed. In the past 20 years he's slowly gotten away from almost all of his hobbies. It worries me that I'm gonna lose my interests as well, I'll be 50 in August. I still love hunting and fishing but its getting harder to find hunting spots that's not already being hunted. I do have to somehow get away from working so much. I sure hope you're gonna be ok with your health issues. Have a great time with your brother.

This channel is such a breath of fresh air. You always remind me to take a break and make sure to make some lasting memories. Just recently my relatives and I had a big 4 day reunion with almost all of us in the family in the Scottish highlands. Whiskey, gin, beer, sauna, river swimming, kids screaming and running around getting into trouble. It was excellent.

Good to see the video. I knew the bush camp would be standing. After all, it was built by the best! Will be praying for you with your health issues. We finally got moved to the country in September. Unfortunately, I had my own serious health issues in November and December. Hubs wouldn't leave me by myself so not much got done. We had bought a house which was only dried in. It got framed. His brother and SIL have come over and helped us run wire. That is just about done. This week, the plumbing got roughed in. The biggest issue seems to be getting an HVAC system. We've also been busy with planting - fruit trees (apple, cherry, peach, plum, and fig), berries (black, blue, rasp, and strawberries), asparagus (70 crowns), onions, rhubarb, elderberry, pecan, grapes, and a few ornamentals. Everything has been fenced b/c the deer just help themselves to everything! A greenhouse is on the agenda for this summer. You and Lori have been such an inspiration! We are loving retirement. Take care and have fun with your brother! Same for Lori - have fun with the girls.

I'm praying for good health for The Boss!!

Jim I wanted tell you. I’ve been using rope on all trees that are not leaners. I didn’t like the idea of going out in front of the tree and working the rope winch. Instead, I got an 8500 strong rope that I get as high into the tree that I’m cutting. Then to the pulling tree, I hook a strap, one of those coupling that has the heavy bolt in it. And to that I add a pulley. I run my rope through it and back next to where I am cutting and anchor the pull rope to a stout tree close by. I am single and have not found anyone that wants to help me for free. I like seeing the tree weather I’m cutting or pulling. Plus it is very safe to do it that way. To get the rope up into the tree in the first place. I bought one of those little bags with a long cord on it. I practice away from the tree till I think. I can land it up high in the tree. But I have never done it on my first try. But it’s worth the trouble to get it up high because of the control it gives you pulling on the tree. I was felling a pine tree one time. I worked the winch and the tree really shook. I test it by hand and saw the big movement. I tightened the slack on the rope. Then just pulled the tree over by hand. I measured the hinge that I left in the tree and it was five inches. I like that much control all the time. But I just settle for what I can get. Thank you Jim for teaching me a safe way to cut trees down. Later
