miss miss

miss

it doesn't matter if you're serving it

for money or not you are serving it to

the public by being out here no I'm I'm

on my friend's private property okay so

let's let's be clear about what you're

uh you're trying to tell me to do so

that so that uh I'm going to give you

this card that has my boss's direct line

you would like to speak to you directly

I don't I'm not taking my time out of

the day to call him and figure out what

he doesn't need to be trying to stick

his nose into okay then someone will

show up to write you an official

citation with no they'll show up to talk

to me and see that there's nothing that

you can do to try to site me so you're

not going to be able to site me anything

okay well I'm here talking to you right

now giving you a heads up that this is

going to happen if you don't cease and

assist cease and assist what you're

providing a sheet note to the public

let's get a little closer so we can get

a little a little better audio sorry so

yeah for a record okay so um so I'm

going to give you this card you can

either take it I'm not going to I'm not

going to call him he can call

me you need to call him why would I call

him if it's if I don't have any reason

to call him he's the one that has the

problem or things has a problem oh okay

um well then I guess you'll just see him

when he comes out to write you an

official citation with law enforcement

or you can just have him call

me why wouldn't you just call him okay

so what so what is the problem what what

are you uh what are you saying I can't

do you are serving potentially hazardous

milk lattes to the public whether it's

serving so the definition the the

definition of

serving has to do with the charging of

money okay what now now sharing at had a

potluck or a picnic or sharing with your

friends on your private property there

is nothing wrong with that and that's

exactly what I'm doing okay so you can't

site me for anything what why are you

threatening that when I just told you

that's the premise and and there's

nothing you can site me for why are you

saying we're going to site you if you

don't take this and call this person I

will let Chad come out and talk to you

then

okay you guys are thank you I'm going to

post this tonight this is awesome

awesome content all you guys are doing

is giving this you're just feeding into

it thank

you sheep

yeah good sheep

yeah if they come back oh this going to

be hilarious if they come back I'm just

going

to they really push this if push if push

comes to shove I am just going to make

that whole little front Barista milk

crate area I'm going to make it a

DIY latte station because it's so easy

that anyone can do it like literally I

can just be like okay you can pour it in

there and press that button one to five

times depending on how much foam you

want the milk to be foamed up and uh

yeah there's a honey you can pour the

honey in there for yourself if you want

it's uh you can yeah the but the machine

is all you got to do is push a button

and hold the cup underneath it loading

the puck is something like I can do for

him cuz that's not serving that has

nothing to do with the nothing to do

with the actual milk so uh the only

thing that's difficult is

grinding the beans weighing the beans

grinding the beans and prepping the puck

they could get the milk out of my

fridge out of my fridge and pour it into

the milk frother themselves push the

button and uh pull their shot and by the

time it's done pulling their milk is

heated and

textured and sweetened if they poured

some honey in there and I didn't serve

anything cuz I'm not serving any milk

illegal dangerous milk people are

serving themselves yeah it'd be

hilarious to take it even one step

further and offer like a super Boutique

experience where it be like like a you

squeeze it instead of you pick it be

like you squeeze it and we take the time

and I teach you how to milk a sheep and

and then the milk your milk goes into

your own latte that you make that would

be hilarious or or the milk that milk

goes straight into a cheese Puck that I

teach you how to make cheese um because

the way that I make cheese is we just

drop Ren it directly into the the

milking

vessel uh yeah into the wide wide mouth

milking vessel and then it's able to uh

coagulate in in that milk vessel because

it's warm milk on top of the renet and

then you just dump out the curds into

your uh cheese mold and we can do that

all within like 10 minutes of them being

there learning how to milk turns into

cheese we press it real quick and then

they take it home with instructions on

how

to how to help manage the the rind on

their cheese so that it brings about um

the cheese that they're wanting whether

they want a blue cheese a stinky um a

stinky like Limburger type cheese um or

a a a white bloomy bloomy Rin mold like

a cheese like a

Brie those are basically the three

cheeses and then you got cheddar

cheddaring

process those are the four different

types of

cheeses you could have a you you squeeze

it and cheese it that' be awesome I'm

not selling a product I'm selling an

experience and I'm not even selling that

I'm just doing a donation based thing

how are you

guys all right

is this one of yours uh kind of did you

ever have have you C kids yeah I got

well how's it going my ex-wife has five

of me

and no but it's a gun huh cool yeah Co

pretty cool huh yeah guess you want to

check it out go look at it some kind of

weird [ __ ] like that go check it out

your stepson you're a stepdad that's

cool and a real dad I haven't even been

a stepdad yet it would be

interesting

now I'm in full control of the

wagon if we stop and I drop

this this Yol then that bar will rub on

the

wheel and

stop and so gauge a brake and he's not

attached to the yolk so if he I know we

got shot out in worst case scenario and

he darted off that direction off the

side of the road he wouldn't be able to

drag the wagon with

him yeah so it's a way that I can this

is the only way that I know of that it's

possible for someone living in this his

lifestyle to be able

to like at the moment's notice just drop

drop the uh leash and drop the yolk and

pull our firearm or duck for cover

if we're uh we're in trouble or if a dog

a dog attacks I'm also able to to drop

that and address him go protect my sheep

like physically get in between them over

there whereas if my ran was in the Yoke

and I did that I wouldn't be able to

leave

him so this is the best I can't believe

it's taking me years to figure this out

struggling like every day day and day

trying to think about just connect them

to the actual front of the wagon not to

the Yol and then you direct the

Yol

and also then it allows for them to to

take breaks if if they do get tired and

then you can

pull that's one of the things I'm

concerned about cuz these Rams are such

good pullers there the spirit of them is

so strong to do work

and and they have so much testosterone

that they they can easily overwork

themselves so I never felt quite good uh

good about having them pull the wagon

because they would pull themselves until

they were frothy mouthed like out in

front of me like I wasn't even leading

them and that's uh a little concerning

so I want it to be as easy as possible

for them to chill

out guys new gimbal is really nice thank

you to my

subscriber for getting me this new

gimbal it's uh like way way better you

can tell the technolog is

way way more um oh pulling faster huh he

wants to run all

right yeah I can never do this with the

old gimbal I can never like rotate it

around Annie's on a extendable leas back

there so I shouldn't have to run fast

I want to and Missy is so smart so

obedient so

receptive I can just it would be free

has been the easiest easiest

tethering all right wait wait wait wait

wait wait wait

wait

Rayman hold on hold on hold on I got to

grab his leash oh I got to stop his face

there you go

I

had I had to um grab this button I

wasn't able to grab that

button with this with this uh gimbal in

my head this gimbal all right good

its own than the last one it's kind of

weird weird I don't got the uh

that check that

boy bow on my neck

now gimbal a automatically shuts off now

and turns on when you when you open it

up that's also a really nice

feature so that it's um more enjoyable

to grab

this I need to stick this somewhere it's

magnetic oh there's a sticker one I'm

just going to stick it to my back of my

phone that's what I'll do there you go
