James rambles about Restarting his morning rambles, after a few weeks' break. Just a general catchup, discussion on where the livestock are at (or not), the incredible overgrown tromboncino field (seriously, it is like that) plus some other "volunteer" plants, and what's coming up for the Tennessee move. Short and to the point-ish!

James rambles about Clearing Trees and Saplings. He talks about why this needs to be done and what the end result will be used for. Slightly different format, being talk over video and no gormless mugshots.

James takes a post-Thanksgiving Day walk with the dogs along the lower property ridgeline (the lower of our three land lots, the bottom 5+ acres). This borders our neighbor's lot (which we had hoped to pick up when it came back onto the market recently, but they had first dibs, so it is what it is). They have a driveway and their lot runs up the first roughly one-third of the ridge, so fencing to clearly delineate borders will definitely be on the radar. There is an excellent flat clearing (clearable?) area up on the ridge and should be easy to get an access path or road built. Not as much tree fall compared to the other central ridge, but still some clearing. There are a lot of smaller saplings, however, so movement is inhibited somewhat. Other than fencing, plans for this zone are relegated to the future, but could be perfect for some cabins for hipcamping or similar.

James rambles about successfully getting the new EG4 Battery installed and working with the EG4 Inverter. He talks about confirming that the Ecoflow Delta Pro has not been reporting power use accurately and the Challenge to get the BMS (Battery Management System) properly Reset on the All-in-One unit. Something that he'll do a separate video on once he has the full process proved out on the current unit.

James rambles about Day One of the Tennessee move (from Ohio). Could be especially rambling, since he has had "not a lot" of sleep, but ymmv. Bottom line, this is the culmination of a LOT of planning, followed by 18+ hours of driving over 1200 miles, plus a heck of a lot more focus and drive.

James rambles about the aftermath of the Storm in the TN Homestead area. Sadly, the dogs decided that James was "not allowed" to take a nap (broken sleep last night for obvious reasons), so they Demanded some Outside Time. We didn't get hit badly and all-in-all seem to have come through well. Today is the coldest day of about four days, then we get back to "normal" winter temperatures and conditions for a while. For those who are affected by this weather, please take care and keep warm!

James rambles about getting the new EG4 3000EHV-48 Inverter and LiFePOWER4 Battery Connected and Operational (success!). He talks about a Novice and Important Mistake picked up in the process (fail!) and the next steps to Remediate that Mistake. Mea culpa. Learning is hard.
