Well that didn’t happen and it is nearly the new year. What have we been doing? Why are we soContinue reading “Long Time No See. Oh Look a Book”

Path to Homestead: Summer Break
Summer Break as a kid was amazing. Summer break meant no school, time to do whatever you wanted, and great weather for swimming. The only thing that held us back was the lack of transportation. As an adult, I have not had a summer break since college. When I joined the military, my summers wereContinue reading “Path to Homestead: Summer Break”
National Health Awareness June 2025
June is my birth month. This year I listened to my friends and therapist and prioritized my needs (fishing and steam sessions have been wonderful). Thus, the blog took a few weeks’ break as a result and will serve for June and July. In previous Junes, we discussed aphasia, Alzheimer’s disease, migraines and headaches, andContinue reading “National Health Awareness June 2025”
Path to Homestead: Water, Earth, Fire, Air
In the last installment of Path to Homestead, I discussed purchasing an Eco-Worthy solar-wind hybrid system. This will power the koi pond and will heat our tropical greenhouse. Let’s discuss lessons learned regarding ponds and water management (water), the soil and concrete (earth), solar (Fire), and the wind turbine and air circulation (Air). The goalContinue reading “Path to Homestead: Water, Earth, Fire, Air”

National Health Awareness: Public Health April 2025
The month of April brings awareness to many specific conditions (the full list is at the end). The separation of politics from science, religion, law, and medicine would be ideal, but human biases are intrinsic to our species. The continuous reevaluation, discernment and updating of knowledge is the scientific method. Public Health is undergoing aContinue reading “National Health Awareness: Public Health April 2025”
National Health Awareness: March 2025 Bleeding Out
In previous years, we focused on HIV/AIDS and patient safety. This month, we are focusing on bleeding disorders and how to manage emergency bleeds- on a person in front of you.

The blood cells include white blood cellsContinue reading “National Health Awareness: March 2025 Bleeding Out”
Path to Homestead: Two Years in Review
The last path to homestead entry was April 2023; so much has happened since! We moved the hydroponics to the greenhouse for improved yields as the very niche wasabi project failed when summer temperature exceeded the tolerances. A larger hügelkultur pit was dug, and produced a healthy crop of corn and squash. We processed, consumed,Continue reading “Path to Homestead: Two Years in Review”
