Happy Anniversary !! Ahhhh the familiar sound of a bell 🔔 ringing on a labs neck as he bounces around the woods , great retrieving by Cutter they definitely saves a lot of looking time when you shoot them in the brush, , he got lots of practice I never had that much luck out with Tucker lol . Loves the Ruff Grouse , just did a video on how I cooked one and a funny story how I end up getting it or the story before I got it lol. Cutter sitting between you eating your lunch on the ride ....waiting for a possible treat looks awful familiar lol. That's a neat little heater , I could see that be good in my hot tent winter camping with Tucker we use the wood stove but always goes out and impossible to keep him covered up 😅. Great video guys lovely outing and lots of Grouse for the fridge minus the delicious meal you cooked up in the end. Hope you have an awesome week guys

@@rackman5111 generally farmers have large fields and since corn is pollinated by wind, there is a huge amount of pollen floating around and down onto the silks. In a small row like we have, the wind just carries the pollen away, never to be seen again. Jeff's knees are doing great on the bike. No regrets with any of it.

We arent rich but what we do have we dont waste. We have always lived this way. We have no dept because we worked hard to keep it that way. I dont believe we have ever said that it's cheaper to live off grid. We chose solar so we didnt have to rely on someone else to supply our electricity. Believe me that it feels fantastic not to pay a hydro bill every month. I dont see how our situation is in the "honeymoon stage". We live the way we do and dont find it much more difficult than when we were hooked to the grid. Our lives are no different.

@lenguindon5019 Jeff's kubota tractor and the mini ex are for his business so we would have them weather we were off grid or not. Our solar didnt cost anywhere near that amount and would have cost us that much to bring power to our property. The syrup is more fun than work so we dont mind. The pails and spiles cost less than half at a local hardware store. Off grid is certainly is not for everyone but it is definitely for us. We should have done it years ago.
