Our Donkey busted my lip, so we played like boys

As we drove down the driveway our Donkey was overly excited to see us. So I parked, then played with Jackson before we went inside. In his rambunctious display of love and affection, he accidentally busted the inside of my lip. That’s when my wife hit record. Jackson loves it when I play with him.

Thankfully our Shop has been completed

Some of you have enjoyed going on this virtual ride with us. Thankfully our Shop has been completed, and it is already in use.  Though our radio room will not be in the shop. Hopefully, in the future, I will erect another radio tower somewhere behind it for one of our High-Frequency antennas. In the meantime, I have
