## Resource

This week on Episode 895 of The LOTS Project Morning Show, I finally get the wood chipper running after replacing the carburetor and changing the oil. We also talk about a new forestry tool that's headed to the property, why real freedom means defending the rights of people you disagree with, and whether self-checkout has quietly trained us to do work that stores used to pay employees to do. As always, expect plenty of opinions, a little sarcasm, and discussion from the live audience. ☕ Coffee of the Day: Light Brazilian from Food Forest Farms Affiliate Links & Sponsors • Blockstream Hardware Wallets https://rewards.blockstream.com/thelotsproject • LogOX Forestry Tools https://tidd.ly/4y07Qhb • Food Forest Farms Coffee https://foodforrestfarms.com • ComfreyRoots.com https://comfreyroots.com • Echo Radios https://echoradios.com?bg_ref=Sv7Jdlw250 Save $40 with code: ECHOBRIAN407720 • Amazon Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/thelotsproject
