Martin, over the last 5 years I have seen lots of your videos. And after the first year I realized the Lord has so blessed me with your videos. As my twilight years come upon me I am comforted by the Lord. And by seeing you holding Gods word and listening your gospel music. I am planning on Building Me A Cabin In The Corner Of Glory Land. Stop by my friend I will have the coffee on. May God continue to bless us both. Love ya brother.

Where there is a will there is a way makes me think of Martin and all he does. He figures out how to get it done no matter what it is. Way to go Martin. Love all you get done. Makes the rest of us want to keep going even in old age(78). I love the rock moving. I have never seen a rock that I did not like. They seem to call me to take care of them. None of them are ever a like and I love using them to make places more beautiful. I know you will get that rock out and where you want it to be. Take care. From deep southeast Mississippi.

History is slowly melting into the ground. It won't be long and all that will be left is the memory. Here where I live in the Ozark mountains the old cabins are long gone but their rock foundations and fences will be here a long time. Occasionally I run onto an old house place that has concrete. I have to wonder how they came to have that way out there. Yes you are slowing down. Ten years ago there would not have been mid day naps. LOL As a fellow old guy nothing wrong with a nap.

Hi Martin, I believe you said it is October in this video ? I was wondering, I grew up in Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes -- but being in the outdoors alot, we were plagued by wood ticks -- ICKY, ICKY, ICKY -- SO I was curious if you have the same problem there ? If so, how late in the year are they a problem ? In October there, how late is sunset ! Thanks again for a peaceful, enjoyable video. P.S. what was the radio station you were listening to at the end of the video ? Very nice ! Take care. God Bless. 💥💓💓 Susan
