I’ve recently taken over managing our household finances from my wife following her accident in January. Over the years I’ve used multiple backend accounting applications from the days of Peachtree to Quickbooks as well as newer enterprise and small business solutions like Netsuite and Freshbooks. I’m not going to lie either, I was a little […]

Getting a Late Start in the Garden
The other day I was on Facebook and noticed that one year ago my garden was already planted and I had a pretty impressive stand of celery, spinach, lettuce, and a few other things. What’s crazy is that as of today I haven’t even started on my raised beds. It wasn’t that long ago we […]
Online Marketplace Coming Soon!
I have been working w/ a handful of people recently to add an online marketplace to cotton.buzz. My goal is to have the “Cotton Exchange” up and running by this summer. This is an idea that I’ve played around with for a while but have only recently decided to dedicate the resources to make it […]
Recent Google Photos API Changes Breaks WordPress Plugins
I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t a little disappointed w/ Google right now, specifically Google Photos. I’ve used their Google Photos API for several years, I guess since they changed over from Picasa, to connect my photo galleries to my wordpress blog through various wordpress plugins and custom programming. Well, guess […]
Donna’s Accident & Road to Recovery
The past two weeks have been a complete blur… Trust me, I’m not complaining but last night was the first time I’ve been able to lay flat to sleep since this all happened. On the upside, I have learned how to sleep in a chair. I know that everyone has probably been following along on […]

Easy Starlink Installation and Great Service!
I had some people ask me about my experience getting starlink setup at the farm so I thought I would throw a quick review up. I went online and ordered the standard installation package the other night and it arrived here at the farm yesterday (about 3 days). There was two boxes, I opened the […]
Tips & Preventative Maintenance to Help You Survive the Big Freeze this Weekend in the Mississippi Delta
I was actually working on a checklist of things to do in preparation for the winter storm we have coming in this weekend when I noticed one of my co-workers shared a document in our slack channel that was much more comprehensive than my list, so I’m stealing his… credit goes to Will Scott. Emergency […]
Estate Planning Checklist
The other day I did a blog post about Estate Planning for My Special Needs Child, I got to thinking that I should have probably shared some really basic, but important information about estate planning that I learned when my dad passed away a few years ago. I would honestly print this list out and […]
