My brother texted me this this morning. The way the times are, we’re going to have to start grouping up in order to survive. I’m looking for like-minded people; for not all talk, but will put their money where their mouth is.

I have three properties here in Cedar County. Their first one was a community that I got scammed into in 2012, I still own 10% of that. That Community project was a bust, so I’m looking for people to help me buy out the other property owners. I have a small lot in Caplinger Mills, which will make it great Farmers Market. I have another 15 Acres that I started buying in 2015, in order to start a sustainable community of my own. That too has been a bust. My business partner and co-founder didn’t really follow through with his into the agreement, so I’m either looking for a new business partner, or farm hand. Otherwise; my North neighbor wants to buy me out, so I’m thinking about selling.

I don’t want to give up on me idea of having my food forest and sustainable community; but if I can’t find Reliable people, then it’s not going to work.

I came home today to find four sick goats, three dead goats, and two missing goats. As some of you know, I’m an over the road truck driver. I asked David-Ray when was the last time he checked on the goats, and he said “this morning”… really… and he acted as if all was good, no worries. Needless to say, his neglectful attitude has cost me more goats; and this is not the first time. He has cost me thousands of dollars; he is now more of a liability then he is an asset, the cons now outweigh the pros… It’s been that way for some time, this was just the final straw.

So I’m done… I’m selling Everything!

The new guy who said he was wanting to join us and help out; was a no call no show, and has not returned my calls or texts.

I’m sick and tired of relying on people who dont show up or fallow through!

If I continue… I’ll join someone else’s tribe. I’m tired, I can’t do this anymore!

Everything is for sell… EVERYTHING.

I make a better VP then I do a Pres. I need to join somebody else, somebody I can trust and rely on. I just can’t do this anymore. I’m selling everything

I would choose Hemp.

Our communist government has too many rules, regulations, standards, codes and guidelines. They want to take away your 2nd Amendment rights if you grow, produce, manufacturer, sell or use marijuana.

My personal opinion, is that you don’t want marijuana anyway; you want ditch weed… it’s actually much healthier. You’re also not supposed to smoke it, you’re supposed to ingest it.

So if I had a choice between hemp and marijuana, I would definitely grow hemp. There are other cannabinoids that you what besides THC and CBD. But if I had to pick between the two, I would choose CBD.

It’s hard to say. At this point,  it’s pure speculation. They do put their agenda on their website, or some of them.

Basically, it boils down to a couple/few things.

1) Never let a good crisis go to waste
2) if you cant find a crisis, make one
3) advocate a solution for the problem
3) make sure the solution is flawed
4) advocate more solutions
5) putting more money and power into your hands

Pretty neat trick

“Oh i have an idea! Maybe somebody can uber people around in Springfield sometimes (or even Kansas City). Eventually that could be a possibility for me when i prove myself a trusty driver. (I looked it up and being vaxxed is not a requirement for drivers.)”

Bolivar and Springfield are good close options. You could also be an Amish Uber, but someone is doing that already… but..,. who knows?

“Does anyone need painters? I can probably paint walls well. I can probably climb up a house with a ladder and remove leaves from a gutter.

I think if someone can instruct/teach/guide me first how to do certain things i’ll be able to be an extra pair of hands working on tasks and get more done

I could read some online repair manuals and watch youtube videos too though”

I’m not sure as to this particular need, but I’m sure there is or will be. This would fall under our services that we do or can offer to the public, to help bring in revenue for our community. We currently offer such services, even though we are few.

Work

I need to update that webpage and ad a handy(wo)man section as well. Whatever skill we have or acquire, we can offer those services for hire to the public. We are not “Bonded” but we are insured.

Yes

Examples:

1) Aromatherapy.
2) Staffs/walking sicks
3) Jewelry
4) Bird or Bat houses
5)

Whatever you can dream up, and accomplish. If people are willing to buy it, I’m I’m interested in and willing to sell it.

I would say; weather pending, it might be safe to ride a bike. We are 5mi from Stockton and 2mi from Caplinger Mills. There are no shoulders, so I would say… it depends.

There are business in Stockton, there is work in both towns. As for borrowing vehicles, I would have to say no; but that would be up to the vehicle owners to decide. Same goes for suttles. That’s why I implemented a new policy a couple years ago, that everyone must have their own transportation; even if it’s as little as a scooter.

Yes! Considering we hadn’t hardly sold anything before, that’s a huge YES!!!

We only had one year where we actually produced enough food to sell some of it, 2017.

Otherwise; the only profiles we have made, was from repurposing things. Totes, 55 gallon barrels, pellets and whatnot.  We sold two Rick’s of firewood, I’ve sold some of my essential oil; and I think that’s about it.

More or less; in Se7en years, “we’ve” barely done anything. I’ve had to do most of it myself, or hold the other people’s hands to make sure things got done. So Yes! There is a lot of room for improvements.

Which is why I decided to go in a different direction. If I can get reliable people on the land to actually do something, then I would be interested in giving it another go.

It’s been almost a decade; and as some of you already know, the DD&D project has been a bust. So I’m regrouping and going in a different direction; potentially looking for new business partners, and rebranding.

The third David never did and probably never will end up joining us. The second David is really smart, but is impossible. He is also very strong and has a lot of potential; but he just doesn’t apply himself, and no longer fulfills his end of the agreement. Like everyone else who has come to the land; he’s all talk, yet little to no action. He is loyal and trustworthy, and makes a good guard dog; but that’s about it. He’s counterproductive, and I just can’t deal with it anymore.

I myself am getting tired of the hand out mentality in the sustainable community environment… in society. I’m tired of doing most all the work, and having to pay all the bills; while someone else sits on their butt and reaps the rewards.

My North neighbor wants to buy me out. Even though he’s a pathological liar, I’m thinking about selling; I just need to find some place else to move. All three of my old neighbors sold their properties, made a profit and moved on to something new; so maybe that’s what I should do.

I still have 10% in that 20 acres just 2 miles north on 39. If I find some potential business partners, who want to assist in buying out the other owners; then I might be interested in continuing said project.

There are three types of people in the world; those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. I’m not looking for the latter two, I’m trying to chase excellence.
