for any event that would disrupt their daily routine.
That is a prepper.
Hello, everyone out there on Internet Radio Land.
Are you ready for any event that would disrupt your daily routine?
That is a prepper.
Oh, my gosh.
After I listened to the Intrepid Commander's news, daily news,
I was saying to myself, desperate measures?
Desperate measures?
Because what one person's desperate measures is another person's lifestyle.
Yeah.
I don't think I'm taking desperate measures here.
I published in the back channel, okay, we processed three huge geese and two turkeys.
We're going to do the rest of the turkeys tomorrow because you know what?
Maria and I are not spring chickens anymore.
But it took me a while because I had to run some errands this morning and I didn't get back. And we didn't really get started until like 2 o'clock in the afternoon which is not
not a good time to start. You want to be fresh first thing in the morning
before they have their feed and fed and all that
kind of stuff. Tomorrow
tomorrow is a good day.
And the pictures I published, oh my gosh.
Because turkeys, okay, first of all, all of them, all the different birds that you can raise are all different.
Okay?
So ducks and geese, they are messy.
They require a lot of water.
They're dirty and loud.
So the three geese was top on our priority.
You have to give them extra water just because they're geese.
And one time we had like 12 ducks.
She got two of each kind of duck
just to see which duck was best.
Yeah.
So we process these.
The turkeys are huge huge 18 to 20 pounds
this is like a
an infant
I mean these things are heavy
and
it was a chore
so we decided
to just leave the
set up
and clean everything up and pick it up first thing in the morning.
Which, we've had good weather here.
Today was just beautiful.
No humidity.
Cloudy.
Like 80 degrees.
And it was nice.
Nice.
So this was perfect timing. But
desperate measures? I'm not so sure.
So one thing I've learned a long
time ago was the difference between
successful people and people that don't
have success,
the successful people are willing to do what the others are not.
Okay?
So if you're willing to do what other people will not,
you'll be successful.
And you can throw that template
on anything in life.
Anything.
I remember hearing a story
about the founder of Blockbuster
that came to this country as an immigrant
and the first job he was offered
was garbage collector.
And he said, yes, yes, I will do that.
And he collected garbage.
And he did what other people were unwilling to do.
Anyway.
anyway you know why I
take the bath water out of the bathtub
yeah it's a lot of work
but it saves my well
and it also saves my plants
so you have to be willing to do the things
that other people will say,
eh, let it go, let it go.
Let's just not do that.
And that's the difference between making it and not making it, basically.
Yeah, it's not desperate.
yeah it's not desperate it's just willing to do
what needs to be done
other people will look at it
the outside world will look at it
do you know what I tell people at my school
I live a preparedness lifestyle
that's exactly how I describe what the Jones Homestead is.
And I'm telling you, most of those people get it.
It's a Christian school.
They see the writing on the wall.
I'm anyway
a lot of people
strive to
to have what we have
and you just have to
boy that sounds
conceited don't it
no you just have to do the things
do the things
I don't have any secret knowledge or...
And I've been doing it for years.
Don't think you're going to do this thing overnight.
Not like that.
Not like that.
It is baby steps.
Baby steps.
Always...
You know, it's like... Estab establish a position and improve upon it daily.
What did you do today that makes you better prepared for tomorrow?
That's it.
I mean, James was talking about tilapia and quail.
And I can't wait to hear his feedback on tilapia.
Because we've been dancing around this for years.
Years.
And we want to do tilapia in the summer and trout in the winter.
And that was the whole idea behind the greenhouse.
So.
And you never know until you try something.
Boy, I'll tell you,
the more experience you
can get now,
before the grid goes
down, before
you know, China
invades Taiwan,
because they can see Trump
is going to be elected
and if you don't think that's
going to go down
anyway
I'm just
telling you what we're doing here on the Jones
Homestead and I'm happy
we're done with what we did
and we're picking
it back up tomorrow.
So, everybody in the back channel, expect more pictures.
So, Maria got me this denim apron.
And it is really nice.
I mean, really, really nice.
I can see me wearing this for a whole bunch of different things.
You know, carpentry work, metal work, whatever.
So I put this on for the first time today.
And I was removing heads from turkeys.
I'm telling you, I look like I'm Hannibal Lecter or something
with this hatchet in my hand.
Maria says, wait, let me get a picture.
It was pretty crazy.
Anyway, I think I'm going to have to click explicit on this one
just because of that.
You know, some people,
some people can't cut heads off.
You better find someone that can.
That's all I'm saying.
Take care and prep on.
