Imagine settling in for a heart-to-heart or lighting up a group discussion on a topic close to your heart – that's the open invitation I extend as we navigate the complexities of today's world together. From the thrill of my son's motocross adventures, including insights from his professional trainer Caleb Tennet, to the creation of our backyard track, I share slices of life that fuel my passion. The conversation doesn't stop there; I'm thrilled to unveil my new YouTube channel, DNT MX, where your comments will shape our discussions. Also on the horizon is a fitness journey I'm particularly excited about – crafting an exercise program for older folks bouncing back from surgery and arthritis to plain old age, drawing from my history in bodybuilding to champion our collective health.
Turning the pages back to simpler times, I revisit the joys of plant cultivation from my youth and reignite that spark with indoor gardening, a hobby that's as nurturing to the soul as it is to our plants. Let's uncover the benefits of food preservation methods like drying and powdering to cut down on waste and savor the tastes we love for longer. Join me as we celebrate these passions, and together, we'll keep the conversations lively, the gardens growing, and our spirits high. So tune in, engage, and cultivate a community that learns, laughs, and embarks on new adventures with each episode.

Hey, good morning. We're possibly afternoon, depending on where you're from. What's going on out there, brother, looks the world's kind of going crazy. So I tell you what a lot of topics to choose from isn't there. Tell you what there's anything that you want to talk about, let me know. And I don't know how you get a hold of me. I can't even get a hold of myself. People that do give me stuff as far as the road rage and such things goes. They're from around here. So I don't haven't figured out how you get a hold of me. So if you know, let me know.
Speaker 1:
Anyway, with all the things going on out there, I was kind of led into other projects here, so I haven't thrown a podcast up and hopefully I'm getting a little bit better at talking to the mic, talking to nobody. You're out there but there's nobody sitting right here and it is brutal for a rookie like me to talk to a microphone. But I would like to hear from the listeners out there. So I was thinking about doing a podcast zoom call with people. So if we can figure out for how to get you to get a hold of me, why we could do that and if anybody's interested in doing a zoom call sort of thing, why I think that'd be cool. We could sit here and have conversation about whatever. Whatever you want to talk about and I mean if you want to talk one-on-one about something, or if you want to get a zoom call with others or not, a zoom call just to talk, that's fine with me. I just love to hear from somebody, rather than sitting in this little room and talk to nothing. So, anyways, with everything that's going on out there, I mean there's plenty to talk about. Don't know what that was about. Anyway, some little voice slipped up and started yucking there. Anyhow, I do have a YouTube channel.
Speaker 1:
I might have mentioned one of my other podcasts that my son races motocross and we have a track here and it's somewhat popular and for a little. You know backyard track. It was built by MX Track builders, so it's pretty cool. We've had a high-level pro trainer here teaching the kids. It was real cool thing for him to be here. His name is Caleb Tennet. He trained Hayden Deegan if you know anything about Deegan's from YouTube or anywhere else and Hayden is now one of the top level 250 pro riders. And Caleb come up here and worked with these kids and he is amazing. My son alone on the first day he was here, picked up seven seconds to lap in the first half hour with Caleb and he works well with the kids and with the parents you name it all the way around. The passion that this guy has is just incredible.
Speaker 1:
But anyway, with that, I do have did start a YouTube channel. So that's new for me as well, and that is the letters D, N, T, space, M, X, just kind of like the logo that I have on here. But you can get ahold of me through that. What the heck do they call it? Oh, not the subscribe, but you can put comments. I guess it might be called comments. You can get in the comments and leave me some contact information there, because I know you can get into that. My ex-wife she made a little comment there, so I know that works. But as far as this stuff goes, if you try to subscribe, I think it just goes to, doesn't really go to this channel. It goes to whatever platform you're listening to this on, unless you go. This is from Buzzsprout, so maybe if you go to Buzzsprout you can get into my channel.
Speaker 1:
But anyhow, I really would like to get ahold of you guys and talk and have group chats, like I say, or one-on-one, and get something going here. I know there's lots of things that the folks like to talk about and you know, I mean it doesn't have to get personal or anything like that, but if you just need somebody to talk to, that's fine too. I used to be good at that until I got old, quit paying attention, got arnery. Then I tell you what. You get a little bit older, you don't take no crap anymore. Then everything you just see the nonsense in the world and it's like, well, what, how could this even be going on? We need to straighten it out right now. But kind of what we got is sort of good versus evil out there and people struggling for power to maintain power at your expense, and that's just kind of kind of goes against the grain of the way things are supposed to be. So yeah, I just quite a bit. It's kind of overwhelming pretty much in all countries and everything. It just goes way beyond. All the things that are coming up are just crazy.
Speaker 1:
But anyway, I would like to chat about you with that kind of stuff, or about our track, our motocross, or what's going on in your life. I mean, I know what's going on in mine, but I'd like to see how you folks are doing. You know, how are you? Everything going well with you and mech? Let's have some conversation, good or bad? Hey, I wanted to throw something else out there at you as well. I've got no outline. I'm just kind of flying by the seat of my pants here and just rattling this stuff off. Well, something else I got going is I'm thinking about starting a course, whether it be online or otherwise, if any of you out there are older and have had surgery, but yet I'm released from the doctor and you can exercise. I've got a little program going with simple exercises to get started. I can evolve from that and I'll be probably doing this with you because I need to do it right now.
Speaker 1:
I've got a little bit of background in bodybuilding and that sort of thing. I'm one of Mixpair's championship and Gillette Wyome. Many years ago this was the late 80s, so it's been a long time. So now I'm just disabled, not from that, but just from years of work, different things, but kind of got to the point where I'm way out of shape and need to get back in, and now that I can get back to doing things. I need to get doing things because you need motion. You need to keep moving. Motion is life. If you quit moving, you die. So you need exercise and decent food.
Speaker 1:
We'll go over some nutrition as well. Maybe a little bit of cooking kind of some fun stuff. I'm a master of concoctions. I make stuff up that usually turns out pretty darn good. Problem is, I just can't remember what I put in it, so I'm going to have to. If I do videos with you guys, then maybe I go back to a video when I want to make that again and go, oh yeah, this is what I did. And so anyway, that's part of that little nutrition.
Speaker 1:
Some simple exercises, really easy going, especially at first. Just three or four things that are simple. And I've kind of tested this out a little bit and being in, I used to be known for strength, like around here, around the ranch and stuff from my parents. Everybody. Let me do all the bulwark and then the bodybuilding and everything. So you know I learned a lot a bit about that kind of stuff. But then when you lose it, it's it's a whole nother deal. All of a sudden you're kind of older and broke down and and you need to build that back up. So I've kind of put together this little program and if anybody out there would be interested in that that course I'm putting together, well, let me know and we'll work together. We'll get together one on one first, if you fit the criteria for this program that I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:
It's not for young people, who you know just do whatever. It's. It's for us older folks who kind of got broke down, arthritis. It's hard to move and it's getting worse if you don't. So that's where that's the kind of folks I'm talking about, and so it's not for everybody. It's really simple common sense and most of this stuff I wouldn't even look twice at back in the day.
Speaker 1:
Even a rowing machine. A rowing machine was a basically a waste of time for what I was doing. You know, just didn't do anything for me. Of course I probably wasn't doing it right, but anyway, I've got one now and if I get vigorous with it it kind of helps. But then you get this your body's in pain and it just doesn't feel good like it used to. So if we can break past that, get back to that point where the muscles are what you feel and not the, the other pain and they say no pain, no gain. Well, this is a different kind of pain and you know what I'm talking about. So we want to work into this, working to it slow, and kind of try to get a little momentum, get a little bit better, get a little bit more flexible. Gonna have to do some stretching. So yeah, I'm still working on it.
Speaker 1:
But I just want to know if anybody's interested in such a thing, kind of an online course or or something to that effect. So there again, get a hold of me and through DNTMX on YouTube, and if you can't get a hold of me any other way, you know certainly can put some information in there and we can kind of correspond a little bit. So hopefully this gets out there to you and with a. You know, on YouTube I get a lot of response right now. But on this podcast stuff, you know I'm new enough and this is a new enough podcast that really not much happens. So let me know that you're out there one way or another and if you're interested in this course, give me a shout or, like I say, just just to talk. Talk about anything one on one or in a group chat, let's do it. So I need to hear from you so I can tailor this course to you more towards your needs rather than a broad scope. So Let me know.
Speaker 1:
And also around here Updoor Knees and snow and cold and wind, so it's really tough to do anything. I mean it's like Can't hardly go for a walk. I Don't have a paved road or anything like that, so you're judging through snow and the cold winds blowing on you, so it's tough to get outside sometimes, especially this time of year. So I tell you what we can do some stuff in the house. That's what we'll Start out with. So let's get off our ass and move they also.
Speaker 1:
I also raise I guess they call micro greens and those are really good. The nutritional value is awesome and I take them and I could ship it to, I guess I. I also make it into a powder Now they're great on a sandwich and eat all those vegetables. Those little guys there. They kind of Geared towards certain health aspects as well and Like all, for instance, beat, my son, does a motocross, so beats kind of help with his arm pump and it keeps the blood flowing instead of stopping it because of his grip all the time, and it just kind of helps keep blood flow going and just you know whatever these, these vegetables kind of cater towards different things, arthritis or you know all the blood pressure, all that kind of stuff Die.
Speaker 1:
Well, I don't know about diabetes. I don't know much about that either, certainly not a doctor of any kind or a dietitian. I'm none of those things. But I kind of find things that work and even say the radish it's kind of like a spice, you know it's good on the sandwich, I tell you what. But some of that stuff, yeah, like I say, I can move it around stores a lot longer, ship it Whatever.
Speaker 1:
If I make it into a powder, it's great, cut them, eat them right away, only have about maybe 14 days Life in them if you don't do anything with them, if you just put it in the refrigerator. The more moisture that they have, the more Bacteria that they take on and they go bad quicker. So that's why you kind of want to dry them out or make a powder out of them. And when I was a kid I got a lot of trophies for growing stuff and I got to thinking you know what? I used to be good at this.
Speaker 1:
So I do this. I can do it in the house in wintertime. So it's kind of Kind of pretty cool. There's something I'm getting into. So if anybody's interested in in that, why let me know there too. So, with that being said, I just wanted to give a quick little shout out to everybody and put this out there, try to gather some interest. So I tell you what let's get moving and then Kind of enjoy life a little bit. We don't have to sit around and wither away, so take care till next time.
