In this informal farm vlog, two hosts walk viewers through a day of crisis management and routine chores on their farm. The episode opens with a mobile milking sled that has become jammed on a steep hill, its legs and roof brace damaged. The hosts devise a recovery plan using a tractor, winch, chains, and improvised X‑brace structures inspired by Polyface Designs to lift and straighten the sled, while also securing the surrounding livestock (sheep and cows). Alongside the mechanical work, they discuss garden tasks such as spraying fish emulsion fertilizer and handling a hybrid squash. The segment transitions to a kitchen scene where they prepare homemade tomato sauce and a Cajun‑spiced chicken, describing the seasoning blend and cooking method. Throughout, the dialogue is conversational, peppered with humor and occasional frustration, but ultimately conveys a problem‑solving, optimistic attitude toward farm life.

Oh no!
Yesterday I jacked up the mobile milking sled. I had a hard time traversing this hill, super steep, super gnarly. The legs got pulled in and this one got stuck. The brace didn't give out, the roof connection gave out. So today we're putting out fires and we're fixing this shed. It's so important because this is our This is our barn, so to speak. This is our centerpiece structure. It's priority number one. And thus begins an hour search, but hopefully not. 2x6 in our wood scrap yard. Do you know where the drill driver is? No. I only lack finding the drill driver. Got some other lumber to take up, but I know exactly where that is. For this rabbit lily, let's just get it back over around the garden. Kind of want you to just go around it. First thing in the morning, I always know where to find you. Yep, you got the side channel looking good.
You did.
You've claimed it back.
It's kind of a mess.
What are you spraying?
I am spraying fish emulsion or something like that. Fish fertilizer. It's gross and stinky.
Some volunteer squash from the garden. Some weird hybrid squash. Man, I didn't go too far before I changed my mind. We got all the milking supplies too. We better just take Willie. Lily, she's up in that tree. You gonna come help me? I've got 10 minutes to milking time. I'd kind of like to know what we're getting into today. I'd like to see if I couldn't chain it and pull that bottom leg out and straighten that up. If that goes well, that might be an indication of how the rest of these repairs are going to go. Oh my word, really? It was wedged. I thought that would pull wedge out. I never dreamed it would flip over. Ah, we spilled our minerals. How are we gonna get this back up?
What did you do, man?
This is great. Willie's even got a little connection for our leash and She don't care. Forgot cloths. Any chance I get, I'm walking. I'm trying not to look at it as, oh man, I gotta walk. I'm trying to look at this, hey, I'm training for something. This is kind of nice because I'm not, uh, getting anything out of the wheelie. Now this is our station. Uh-oh, come on guys, don't get out. That's, that's a hole in our plot. String that net back maybe up to wheelie. It wouldn't be the end of the world if they got out. Be out of our way, and it's easy to get them back in. Sheep are out, but I don't think they'll go very far. That's where they should be. My idea is to get it over on its side with the Sally and then get under it with the tractor and flip it over.
Okay, stop, stop.
Keep going, keep going. It's really bending it. It's bending it. That's just working. Are you, are you plugged? It's twisted here. We really need to get the tractor now. Okay guys, I'm gonna try— hold on, I'm gonna try to lift up under here with the tractor. Oh, we're hung here. Oh yeah, look, it's pulling against itself right there.
Yeah, the winch line should be on top of that board because when it falls it's going to create a lot of tension.
Oh yeah, you're right. Loosen it up, see what happens. Okay, that's good. Can I get the chain off right here? It's super tight. Okay, that's loose enough maybe to get it over now. Okay, now this chain won't be holding anything back. This has to get pulled sideways where it was, and then I can support it with the tractor And then you can reattach— then you reattach the cable. That went incredibly well. I don't think that could have gone any better. We're gonna let the cows be okay under trees. We're gonna get this down, and with Randolph, we're gonna do a complete overhaul of this thing. But today we need to get it out of here. We need to find somewhere flat near power Randolph can easily work on this thing. What we're gonna look for is an X brace here. We're gonna look for deeper diagonal posts that go down a little further. 6x6s. Right now you hook up to one corner and the other corner and the chain goes out into a triangle. So when it pulls, naturally that weight is tugging these skids in. We learned this from the book Polyface Designs. You put a metal pole across The weight will be pulling straight on these. Sheep haven't gone too far, that's good. Put a couple screws in there, Jonah. We still have our disconnection here. Hopefully it'll just hold for us. The animals would definitely need shade right now. It's very hot.
I think we're going all right.
What about the sheep? That feels incredibly amazing. No, we did not hyper up a little bit like we had hoped, but that could have been a lot worse. Getting her off that mountain just wrapped up an abundance plus webinar. It was so fun. Hanging hanging out with everybody live, answering questions. We got some rain, it's coming down. We needed it. I just love to see that shed over there. You guys gotta see what the beautiful one has done. Well, you got a bug today. Look at this kitchen, she's blown it up. Look, she's made her own tomato sauce.
I got tomato sauce and tomato juice.
Nice. I am making a Cajun spiced Chicken today, some thyme, some oregano, paprika, smoked salt, pepper. Let's do some olive oil. It'll give us a paste and it will, uh, give us a rub and it'll keep the chicken moist. How's that look, y'all? Mmm. She's on some fried green tomatoes. I parted them, that helps it cook fast. I put it at 375, which is the new 350.
Looks good.
Yeah, it does. I think it did better this time. Last time it was too dry. This is very different. We're gonna eat outside tonight. It feels so good after that rain. How do you think that chicken turned out, my man?
