April Blizzard On The Homestead

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

When we are supposed to be in Tshirts, we got a blizzard and got snowed in good. The normal temperatures around here for this time of year are 50 degree days and 30-40 degree nights. But nature turned things around on us this time.

I went out the day before and cut a bunch of fire wood out of the forest on our second property. We have 18 acres of wild, wooded land but its all pine. We burn an average Jack Pine tree every day or two. So I am out cutting fire wood all the time out here.

Since the blizzard was on its way, I went out and cut more this time. My wife Melanie came out to help get the logs out of the woods. Generally cutting a single Jack Pine up into logs takes a lot of work due to all the gnarly branches. So I needed help getting the logs out of the woods and onto the road before dark after cutting it all up.

Next I spent a while hauling the logs in a wheel barrow down the dirt road and next to the house. This was some hard work but I got six wheel barrow loads hauled in. Melanie stacked the logs while I hauled them in.

You can watch the first video of us getting ready here: https://www.diytube.video/video/homestead-updates-near-death-prepping-for-blizzard-in-april

I also mentioned in the above video that we came quite close to losing it on the highway. A tie rod was coming apart on us but it fortunately waited until we got off the highway to really come apart. We managed to limp to my parents place and got it fixed though. I kept the tie rod because I have never seen one so loose before.

That night the snow started and it came down with a fury. It snowed all night and most of the next day. During breaks in the snow, we shoveled the place out a bit to reduce the amount of work it will be when the snow is all over.

We got about a foot of snow I figure but it was blowing away due to high wind so it did not build up that high in the open areas.

Part of the reason I am moving everything over to DIY Tube. Its a troll free zone and a clean community.

There are some nasty trolls that followed me from YouTube

Its like a bad bunch of groupies

Please do not engage the trolls for your own safety

Thank you

Well, since I have never and do not threaten to shoot anyone unless you are a coyote, I do not agree with you.

But, But....YOU did threaten to shoot @oldcodge Troy @thediyworld.

You threatened him with your "12" here on Steemit.
It's in the Blockchain!

BTW, it's a little difficult to shoot a coyote with a 12 gauge shotgun.
Not impossible, but a little difficult for most of us.

For you....I would say impossible.
You wouldn't get close enough with all the jaw jacking you do.

But I do not even know anything about him/her.

How do you suppose a person can get threatened when they hide behind a fake name.

I know nothing about him/her at all but that he/she is very mean.

@Oldcodge, Or the passive-aggressive Reid will invite you to his alleged residence for a "openhanded" fist fight.....

then in the next breath, deny he said that, like he did to me.

Saying we can talk with open hands, meaning nothing to harm one another is a far cry from saying a fight.

But you are troll. I should not expect better from a troll

So now you admit it! @thediyworld

It's just proof you're a passive-aggressive pussy,
with zero credibility.

So, asking someone to meet up and talk things through to possibly end this harassment is considered aggressive?

Interesting. I did not know that.

But it failed anyway. You guys want to hate me and will never stop. I know that now.

You just need to get off the internet and stay in your spank shed. Quit scamming people and trying to cheat them. The only reason you are not in jail is that you are SO bad at it.

@thediyworld. So first you deny saying this, now you change your narrative to a simple "meet up and talk things through"??

More proof of your level of immaturity, lack of comprehension and responsibility.

If you wanted to get together and talk,
kinda like your feeble attempt with Doc AND Unblock the banned trolls from your YT channel,
(which after-the-fact turns out YOU HAD NO INTENTIONS on fixing anything ).....
you would have said it the first time,

but you didn't.

Oh, BTW, who said your invite failed......yet?

The so-called "trolls" are a just a group of intelligent, critical thinking observers that call Troy Reid on his lies, deceptions and fraud.

I noticed in your last few recent videos, you look like hell Troy @thediyworld.

You look like a beaten man.

If I saw you for the first time now, I would have thought you were much older than me.

Has the clean, all natural, on grid country life not been kind lately?

BEWARE OF THIS SCAM BY TROY REID JUST AS YOU SHOULD BEWARE OF THE RELIGIOUS CULT HE BELONGS TO , IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO HAVE SEXUAL DEVIATIONS AND MONEY SCAMS ....... THIS IS THE LINK TO THE DOCUMENTARY THAT AUSTRAILIAN TELEVISION DID ON THE DEMONIC CULT KNOWN AS ......... CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLIES INTERNATIONAL

oh,now you own TWO properties. knock off yur self aggrandizing bullshit. a road bisecting the banks property does not make it two separate properties. it is still one you self important lying piece of shit you.

He's back for our entertainment in fact Trog Iv'e just sent your local township a quick email to tell the girls your back on Steemit, they thrive on it for entertainment value.
You might be able to kid the idiots that believe in you on here but you can’t bullshit the locals.
I understand you’re the talk of the town, like the village clown!

Troy are you preparing your subs for another crop failure? Will you plant crops in June as normal? Or will you plant now and let the frost get them? If so will you be on food stamps this Winter? Or will Mommy and Daddy bail you out?

Troy you supply us with so much enjoyment!

Well - HELLO!!!

We just had a blizzard. Of course we are not planting yet.

I’ve had stuff in my greenhouse all winter, started my Tomatoes in Jan when it was well below freezing outside.

Mind you I do have it heated but my greenhouse has glass in it not an old tarp thrown over the top.

Trog called his greenhouse a project, I call it a fucking abortion.

All Old Trog will say is it will do for now!

I call it, "I was too late starting and will finish it in the spring when it thaws out."

Troy, all you do is 'Too little, too late.' A heated greenhouse - as mentioned by thedarkdestroyer above would help. Why don't you heat it? You do have a greenhouse dont you?

What about all that stuff you do on the TR Lacks Testicles Channel? Where's all this prepardness and prepper mentality?

Why won't you show proof of your military discharge Troy @thediyworld?

What is it you're hiding?

A Dishonorable Discharge?

Here Troy @thediyworld the Drama Queen cries the sky is falling from a spring snow storm.

Never one to pass up an opportunity to Exploit a normal situation to every other person on earth.

He continues his delusional narrative that it should be "t-shirt weather" wherever he is, in April.

Notice how dumb dumb and his mail order bride (bought with donations from stupid YT viewers) are both outside shoveling snow, BUT their infant Michelle is nowhere to be seen.
This is how irresponsible Troy Reid is.

Notice how he placed his useless solar panels under that pine tree?
Spoiler Alert......He is On Grid anyways!

And why is she shoveling snow to the garage?
He parks the car under a tree.

Why is he shoveling snow from behind the car when he points out the snow is too deep by the road and says it will "bottom out" and doesn't go anywhere anyways?

Who in their right mind makes a chicken coop "igloo" and only uses two lights as a heat source for the chicks?

Who says earlier this week he is "too busy working his job" in a YT video,
Says he's handing over the old job of making "daily YT videos" to his wife,
but ends up making three videos this week after a long absence?

Troy Reid does.
He has no credibility.

For a guy with a full time job, he sure spends a lot of time on Steemit engaging the "trolls" that he warns everyone else not to engage.

Nobody is watching your videos on YouTube Troy @thediyworld.

Why would they want to go to DIY Tube to watch your electronics crap?

Heck, even the Trolls REFUSE to go there!
That should tell you something.
