We looked up at the sky and couldn't help but ask, "WHAT IS THAT???"

Even though we're in West Texas, we saw the Space X Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg, California, 1,088 miles away.

I'm humbled by all the support for the water well t-shirts. I placed the announcement at the end of the episode and y'all have exceeded my hopes.

If you missed the announcement, I'm offering limited edition t-shirts through January 11. 100% of the funds received will go towards digging a water well this spring.

The budget for digging and sealing the well is up to $40,000, which is a very scary number. Every t-shirt puts a dent in the number.

I say a thank you every time I see a sale notification come through. The generosity is sincerely appreciated.

Edit: The link supports donations if you don't want to purchase a t-shirt.

The northern lights made it to Dustups. The blue light is the rescue beacon that everyone always asks about.

I took a risk this week and featured a project that isn’t Dustups. It’s either going to be a banger—or totally bomb.

If you want to see more stories like this, the best thing you can do is share this episode with someone who’ll actually enjoy it. Hypes and comments are great, but nothing helps more than sending the link directly to someone who loves these kinds of stories.

We found day-old bobcat tracks last night on the south dam. I'm excited to see the wildlife presence growing stronger.

The wildlife gets a lot more intense in Saturday's upcoming episode. I'm excited for this one.

Rats keep chomping on my tree starts. Do you have any suggestions?

The method that's working for us is:

1) Place 11" (280 mm) pots in a 27 gallon totes. Add 1" (25 mm) of water at the bottom. Seal with a lid to trap humidity.
2) After germination, remove the lid. Keep adding water to the bottom of the tote, watering tree roots from below.

The problem is the photo where my finger points to a sweet acacia that a kangaroo rat chomped in half.

I'm not married to this system. The 27 gallon totes can't be lifted because they can't support the weight. Is there a different system that commerical nurseries use?

My ideal outcome would be a clear lid for the totes, but clear lids cost more than the totes. How can I secure the tote against rats without buying clear lids?

We're racing to wrap up the mega swale. 1,200' long and 30' wide. There's a reasonable chance that Tropical Storm Lorena may blow through here on Sunday. We want as much of that water as possible!!!

I found a desert hackberry setting fruit in the canyon. I started eating the fruits for the seeds. I continued eating the fruits because they're delicious. They taste like persimmons.

What a beautiful tree!
