in Homesteading16 days ago

Bright and early I was up yesterday heading to town. The clouds looked really cool in the rising sun light.

Though they were on the way out as I got to the south end of the bypass.

I stopped at the first brewery since he had had a partial barrel for a while. When I got there there was 2 full barrels with still hot grain.

Later in the day I got the text that it was ready but was able to tell him I had already got it.

The Hoopfest closures made it a bit fun to get to the next brewery but luckily the street was open. You can see the safety netting at the intersection and all the courts lined down the street. I had a pair of barrels to load which went in the trailer quickly.

Spokane is nice when it isn't crawling with people. I like it best at dawn before everyone wakes up.

Headed for home the clouds again looked cool.

Had to stop for gas on the way.

Pulled the car into the farm and backed up towards the sheep pen. The grain got hucked at/over/through the fence and the animals happily dove into the grain.

Got the rest of the parts printed for the cyberdeck. I found the sliders are not going to work in PET and need to be made in PLA so they slide easily.

WE headed for town around 9:30 and got to Ninja Nation just before 10am. The air bags had to be inflated.

I managed to cross the spinning ball climbing holds finally which is rather hard to do but once the form is found it goes. Have to grab the ball over the top so it doesn't spin.

The first pic was one jump that I just missed the timing on.

IMG_20250628_105456.jpg

This one I got perfectly.

So after our hour we headed for home then got stuff in the car and headed up to hopefully pick berries.

Things looked better this week than last as we drove up the road.

IMG_20250628_124924.jpg

We found most of the patches are still trying to ripen but there are OOOODDDLLLELES of berries all a week or so from ripe.

IMG_20250628_125002.jpg

We were out for a while but did manage to find some ripe berries amongst the masses.

IMG_20250628_125716.jpg

Some of the stands were SUPER tall. These were well over 8 feet tall, some 10 or more.

We couldn't see @stryeyz as she climbed through picking.

IMG_20250628_135536.jpg

The view is really killer. We checked out a lower road and found some really good patches that I noted for next week. By about 2:30 we were headed for home with a couple cups of berries.

I was out in the garden poking around checking on things and found one of my volunteer tobacco plants is readying flowers.

US Darts masters final day was on and Matt Campbell won the NA title, but the 2 US players lost their QF matches.

The thimbleberries from picking got used to make a dressing for the salad made from greens from the garden.

IMG_20250628_184848.jpg

Just ugg. Perfect in the bed but just one to the right of where they belong.

Humphries managed to get the win over Asp in a rather good match.

IMG_20250628_202759.jpg

Went out to soak for a bit but only a cycle.

IMG_20250628_210700.jpg

I missed the first title fight but it was rather obvious Kai wasn't going to win. But I did get to watch the main bout which Topuria whooped Oliveira in a fast knock out. Just like he said he was going to do and now is the newest 2 class champ.

IMG_20250628_215144.jpg

I am SO looking forward to Patty fighting him. I hope Dana makes it happen sooner than later.

Today we go for our last Ninja Nation time on their last day open. Then it is R room clean out day where we will be removing all the stuff in his room to the living room where it will all get sorted and we will get rid of the baby stuff. Mowing needs done, more weeding, raspberries need picking, and I need to figure out how best to fully backup my phone to my computer.
