it's just really rough and bumpy and horrible so i can't do it over here just yet i'm working on it to be able to live stream on both platforms so you guys can get that daily dose of the stony ridge farm what's really going on aside from tools and fun stuff it's just the day to day the farm so uh anyway we're we're driving down the driveway right here my voice isn't gonna hold up i probably will only be on here for about five more minutes um so anyway we're driving down the driveway i've got the drag hair on here i figure if i can sit my butt on the couch and push the clicker i can sit my butt in the tractor seat and turn the steering wheel so i'm gonna knock out at least one chore today and i've already spent about an hour feeding the cows so uh yeah good stuff not feeling great not
