Julie finishing our steaks!

We got some awesome ribeye cap steaks at Costco.  She cooks them to the perfect temperature in the sous vide then blasts them with the flame thrower for a perfect sear.  I swear she makes the best steaks I’ve had and this is SOOOO much more affordable than in the restaurants.  Yum!!

I like watching the movement of my new watch…

Date night with my girl❣️

She’s easy on the eyes :)

Julies mulberries

Her tree we planted in the garden is fruiting nicely this year!

Last week on the farm…

I used my Jeep to run the weedeater around the trails.  Everything was covered with trimmings by the time I was done haha. I like the way the horse barn looks too.

You can own a bus if you want?!

Just a groovy $27K…! Love it though.  So retro.  

Just had to get this $5 Jeep keychain…

Look what jewels got me to celebrate our accomplishments

Fun as we enter the next phase of life together.  

It’s a serious piece. All mechanical. Swiss movement. 25 synthetic rubies in there. Self winding. 

Wow! Somebody loves me. Haha. Fitting finish to my heirloom watch collection. 

The movement is quite historical and famous. Invented in 1970. It was the first CAD designed Swiss movement.  Appropriate. I never knew anyone younger than me that drew on a drawing board for a living. And I helped her dad bring CAD to his shop when I was in college. 🤪

Zoe scored big!

I took her along to wait with me for my oil change at the dealership.  They gave her this great stuffed tofu combo! I like the little details like the OUTBARK license plate on the Outback, etc.

“Hey! Old guy working in the woods with power equipment!😋”

I like the see-through nature of my rig

It’s fun to see when the doors and/or freedom flaps are off

Zoe knows how to keep cool

She finds the shady spots while I’m airing up.

Wow! I wasn’t expecting this!

Luckily, it wasn’t me and nobody was hurt!  We even managed to put out the rig and the woods too.  A combo of splashing water and the fire extinguishers all three of us had.  Wow!  Be prepared.  Also, practice accessing your fire extinguisher and checking it.  Sometimes your gear can shift around and make it harder to get out than you’d want in an emergency…

I added a collapsible bucket to my safety gear after this.  I wished I’d had one to help with getting water where we needed it.

I made this look easy (on the second try) 🤪

 

Hanging with friends in Vinton County

It’s always fun to run some of the “unmaintained county roads” in SE Ohio.  Check out the angle of my hood compared to their rig.  I wouldn’t want to have to deliver mail or drive a school bus around there! Hahahaha.
