Your refreshing confidence and positive attitude in light of any demoralizing encounter is what makes for Oliver’s happy and comfortable upbringing. He’s very lucky to have you two!

GREAT filming on this one guys! It doesn't always have to be a project. We just like seeing the whole gang and what you're up to. Riley, Courtney, Oliver, the dogs, everyday life.. This is awesome!

I like that you add Celsius when you talk about temp, I convert to Fahrenheit for my American friends

Got to love winter! @ 28:30 The expression you’re looking for is to “hunker down.” To “bunker down” is not actually a thing.

Love watching Courtney running the equipment. The obvious joy she gets from it is contagious. Riley has energy to burn. You two are made for each other! Oliver is a cutie!

Our 4 year old son noticed the Premiere video pop up and was ready to watch today’s new video. Once he noticed it was ready to watch he asked “can we watch the new Courtney and Riley show?” He also loves watching Oliver 😍😆 all your equipment is our 4 year old boy’s dream “can we buy that too?”

Wow, dealing with winter out there is no joke. Also, love seeing Oli's personality coming out. We have a 11 month old and freshly turned 4 year old and know it's nice to see babies become toddlers!!

I think your next big pre-winter project is to build enclosed garages for your vehicles...or maybe at least some covered carports would help a little. 😄

I put bat, faced insulation around my rack of batteries, with a 250W ceramic plate heater just keeping that little space warmer, rather than trying to heat the entire building. For next year, I'll make some mini "walls" out of 2" foamboard insuation that can just be assembled to make the battery rack and inverter/charger it's own little closet. Takes a whole lot less energy, from any source, to keep it above freezing.

Thanks! Oliver is so expressive! It brings Joy to my soul to watch the five of you work together, work, play and fulfill your dreams. Blessings.

I love your wife's willingness. Its a great quality to have in a life partner. Having that YES support system gets so much more accomplished that really in turn helps her and the whole. I wish more women understood this.

If you split a log in half and space the two flat surfaces of wood an inch apart inside your wood stove, you will no longer require any kindling. Place a sheet of newspaper between the two flat surfaces and light it. The flames will travel vertically and the heat will radiate back and forth between the two flat surfaces. I have used this method for over 40 years. I can start my fireplace in literally minutes with only one sheet of newspaper and two flat surfaces of wood facing each other.

Oliver is a lucky boy to have such awesome parents who love and care for him so well and I can tell by his smile.

17:59 I love how much Oliver looks like Riley!!!

14:55 Also, saw the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon + AMS in the background. Something we will see in a future episode? I just got my own and love it!

I see next summers project. Outdoor permanent charging for the lightning, along with heater / charger outlets for the other vehicles. might need to run the generator a few extra times. Easier starts for everyone. Added bonus is that batteries last longer.
