So good to hear from you. Well, it is good to be back on my feet and back to work. Every time I think I have found a place suddenly I keep watching the prices drop. I headed back to Tennessee at the end of the month. That is if the properties I'm looking at are still on the market. The real estate markets have been a little crazy lately. Got my fingers crossed. 😎 How are you doing? Sure seems to be a crazy time of late. I hope that you and yours are doing well and that God's blessings are keeping you happy and safe. ~ Rich

Thank you for thinking about me. An Email form a friend is never intrusive.😎 Hope you had a great holiday. Nice to hear from you. ~ Rich

Doing good now, but I busted myself up some taking a drive off a flight of stairs. I don't bounce as good as I did when I was younger. LOL How are you doing? It is always good to hear from you. Hope you had a good holiday. ~ Rich

@@TennesseeHomestead well sorry to hear about your accident glad to hear your healing up . Yes when your young you jump up quick now I lay and do a system check . Lol

So true ! LOL

Many don't fully understand the price paid for freedom. What angers me, is that we keep sending our young men to fight. Not to fight for our country , but for (Profits of those that dwells in the DC swamp. Our leaders don't even have the courage to tell the Americans the truth. Our current President said we don't have our men in Ukraine, but the fact is that we do. The government had to start paying the combat pay. We deserve better. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting. ~ Rich

George Carlin was right. We have owners, because the big money companies bought our government a long time ago. God bless. ~ Rich

@@TennesseeHomestead amen

Very much so. ~ Rich

So very true. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. ~ Rich

Every great empire throughout history as it was failing took their people to war. Today I saw some news that our country is now trying now to negotiate with the Yemen rebels because our military strikes haven't had any effect on their operation in the Red Sea. Our military has become so weak we can't handle these rebels. So our government is picking fights with countries like Russia and China. Even after being told by the military leaders that we could not win against either of these countries. Not to even mention that these two countries have a military security agreement and would join in together against us. Even if NATO joins in we would lose (Quickly). Sad to say, our countries government is being ran by fools. We really need to have a voters revolution. Hope you have a great weekend, and may God bless you and yours. ~ Rich

@@TennesseeHomestead America is ate up with stupid . All for green pieces of paper steal , kill and lie

You Tube does drop off subscribers that time to time. It is not uncommon. You will need to click the subscribe button again and click the notifications bell. It will restore everything. You Tube doesn't keep any listings of subscribers for content providers. Thanks for letting me know, I might put it in a video. Hope you folks are doing great. May God bless you and yours. ~ Rich

Thank you. Yes, I even did a light workout today, and have been working in the office all day. Now I think it's bed time. Hope you had a Great Easter. ~ Rich

Pretty scary with all the stuff that has been stirred up. God Bless ~ Rich

I loved your comment, so very true. Also so very sad. Often I think of my kids and grand kids. Then search inside myself and wonder could I have done more to make a change in the direction this nation is taking. Then I worry about the kind of country I have left them. Paul Harvey was correct in saying, "That when America Falls. It will be an inside job". It was so good hearing from you. May God bless you and yours. ~ Rich

@@TennesseeHomestead While we live our lives working hard, taking care of our responsibilities, and still trying to find moments of joy; there is a global force using vast resources of strategy, patience, and evil, to destroy us. I don't know how we could have seen it coming or changed the course. You have a broader scope of experience in these matters and maybe you see a solution I don't. A revolution will be a slaughter. At this point perhaps it is more about how to prepare our lives for hardship, protect what we can, get far away from the cities, and STILL find those moments of joy (otherwise the gift of life is wasted). Humans are resilient, your children and grandchildren will find a way.

Very true, it's time to change the game on the Washington DC swamp creatures. God bless. ~ Rich

Well when they pick your two choices not much will change . The right and left wing attach to same bird . It's just to distract people .@@TennesseeHomestead

Karin, the one thing about Paul Harvey, he seemed to a man that had a wisdom that reminds us that we have to change the direction of the so called leadership. For us that understand what America was, must standup and say enough to this insanity coming out of Washington DC and the collages today. We have children, and young adults thinking that CO2 is going to destroy the planet, or that China and Russia are evil killers. We are told these things, because our government wants the people to live in fear, because fearful people are easy to control. It's time we peacefully make this government fearful of the American people. Only then will things like our education system will get back to educating our children, instead of indoctrinating them. Good old common sense and respect for our country and it's laws and it's people, can put us back on track. Good to hear from you, I hope your doing well. My God bless you and yours. ~ Rich

That is the problem, our education system are brain washing the youth and many adults thinking they are all going to die if they don't take action. You might have missed the link I put up in the description since the video was published, of the 32 predictions these " EXPERTS " have made starting in 1953. You might really enjoy that clip. Hope you have a great week & may God Bless your house. ~ Rich

Well I'm so discussed with my country seems like all we do is kill steal and lie if I told the truth I've been thinking about turning in my voter card and washing my hands of this non sense . @@TennesseeHomestead

Expert 's seem to lean towards those who butter their bread . Lol@@TennesseeHomestead

Sad to say you are 100% correct. I heard a lobbyist say that a Senator's vote on a bill costs around $10,000.00 . Makes you want to run for office. LOL

The Federal Reserve, The Donor Class, The Lobbyist, and about every Non-Elected bureaucratic dept. head in the Federal Government. When you look at all the things our elected officials don't do, makes you wonder what they spend their time doing. 🤔 ~ Rich

I think they spend all their time asking if they should bend over or open their mouth but who knows .@@TennesseeHomestead

Isn't that the truth. Maybe if we as voters fired the all, and told the new ones " Do Better ! " We would start getting thinking leadership". If _Not_ we will start paying them what they are worth. 🤔What is the min wage these days?

Well, The Channel is Tennessee Homestead, Kind of says the information is from America. 🤒 To tell you the truth many countries have above ground powerlines, and many parts of the US does also. Still good advice for the most part because you can still get power surges from something like work on a substation.

@@TennesseeHomestead America does seem to have a lot of "you should really worry about.." mind you, with low regulations and standards, and contractors that win contracts to build things being the ones with the lowest bid. I guess I can understand why. and no, we don't get a lot of power surges either, the power grid is monitored here nationally and while there is some variance, it is within tolerance of what the line voltage should be. I have UPS's for my computers and they monitor the line conditions and it is rare that the power goes more than -/+ 5V of what it should be and even then, it is less than 10V. power outages are about 1 every 2 to 3 years, the longest I have known in almost 50 years is around an hour.

Well, with having 50 States, each with their own building codes. Plus each county has it's codes, and the same for each town it can be a bit crazy. I worked in Las Vegas, NV. for about 15 years as an engineer and all work there had to be tested by a third party testing company. To the extent that all dampers & valves on HVAC equipment had to be tested to the standards that if the controls system called for a 13% open, the damper had to adjust to 13%. All electrical utilities were underground from sub stations to buildings for all commercial and residential installations. The company I worked for dealt with mainly the resorts along the strip and downtown areas. The a few older buildings had overhead still, but if any major remodeling is done, they are required to upgrade their service. We did have a train derailment that took out three transmission line towers from the Hoover dam to Vegas, but you would not have noticed it, because most all commercial buildings have backup power generation. The house we owned back then had it's own whole house generator, with many other home in Vegas running on solar power. I the 15 years I lived there we had only 1 power outage for a day or so. In America the rural areas are not as lucky. Many rural area don't even have street lights, or signal lights, just stop signs.😀 Most of us like it that way.

That works, just be careful that the circuit does not have any electronics on it. ~ Rich

Glad it was helpful! ~ Rich

It's KZbin Karin. They make changes or updates and everyone loose subscribers, It seems to be worse lately. How are you doing? It's always good to hear from you. Hope your having a great year so far, I keep looking for spring. 😎 Again it's great hearing from you, God Bless. ~ Rich

Thank you for your comment.🙂 In putting this video together, I didn't even think about ( whole house surge protectors ) so thank you for sharing that. I hope your having a great new year so far. God Bless ~ Rich

Kind of hoping to get a small solar system this year only problem is they come out with a better one every four months thinking about a Schneider inverter@@TennesseeHomestead

You are 100% correct! I edited that video, uploaded it to You Tube, Did the SEO work. The next day I checked the video after it published and said " Oh Cr%p I forgot wood treated with Creosol, thank you for tagging it in the comments.🙄 Again thank you ~ Rich

Not much up here, but I have a friend that let's me keep a steer, and a few chickens out at his place. I'm back looking hard for a place in TN. but a lot of CA. moved into the state a couple of years back driving prices through the roof. I am searching tax sales and checking those out. ( Looking For A Deal ) ~ Rich

Tennessee is beautiful. I'd be interested to see what you thought of how they ranch out west.

Sorry for being late on replying. Yes, I have done the same thing with old pressure treated outdoor posts. Most stuff is washed out of them, I do agree with your dad on the only put it on hot fires. I would think what chemicals are still in it would burn off pretty quick. Great hearing from you ~ Rich

Hope you have a wonderful New Year. Yes, a fireplace really is nice, and can sometimes helps you get through a crisis. I hope you and yours is having a great year so far. 🙂 ~ Rich
