A fun ice fishing trip led into a crazy busy week of finishing crop plans, lots of time on the road, and a crazy blizzard/wind storm.

Whether you want a few backyard chickens, a mixed purpose homestead flock, or a high-producing egg laying flock, choosing the right chicken breeds to meet your needs will make for a better, happier chicken-keeping experience.

Sometimes it's hard to find the motivation for anything, but talking about growing herbs is a pretty good pick-me-up.

Darrell joins me again to talk about our trip to the 2019 Toronto Boat Show. We discuss the boats we looked at, what we liked, what we didn't like, and what surprised us.

Extreme cold, piles of snow, and crappy driving conditions prevail. But microgreens deliveries go on, farm chores get done, and planning is going full bore. Also, did you know your clothes can come a lot cleaner in a properly working washing machine?!

Adventures in ice fishing continued over the weekend, with visits to two different lakes and encounters with the creepiest kind of ice.

Small business is hard. So is living in a rural area when you need a doctor. And snow? Pfft...here's your typical Grey County dumping of it. At least it looks pretty.

Darrell Robinson grew up fishing, being in a boat since childhood. We talk about his early days of fishing, and his tips for introducing people to fishing. I also ask him how he handles dealing with nervous ice anglers, which he has lots of experience with after fishing with me for many years.

We survived the holidays and even managed to get out ice fishing! But of course, I was a total Nervous Nelly when it came to getting on the ice the first few times. Now it's time to get organized and get going for 2019.

It's the week before Christmas, market season is over, and there's no way everyone has their shopping finished. Need a gift for the angler/fishing enthusiast/tackle junkie on your list? I talk about tackle subscription boxes that will save your butt in the gift giving department.
