True story: a kid from our town got in an accident and law enforcement held him responsible because of his tire tread. If you don’t take it seriously, the law will. Check your tread tomorrow morning. Love, Dad (and thank you to my local @Les Schwab Tires for lending me these tires) 🛞

And remember the rule: If you don’t have a Dad in your life, you get to buy yourself a gift instead. #ad Honored to join @homedepot and Husky to share a list of tools your Dad both wants and probably won’t buy himself. These are the things that make a project way easier, and every Dad I know has something Husky in his shop because it’s what I call “ol’ reliable”. I will leave the links to everything. #THDhusky #potentialunleashed Love, Dad

Quiz question: Why did I leave 2inch ledges on the 3 sides? Comment your guess. How to build a simple work table for your garage. Love, Dad

Holiday weekend coming up… perfect time to tackle projects like this. Today I sent out my second ever “newsletter” called Letters from Dad. I included a checklist of projects you can do this weekend. You can sign up at DadAdviceFromBo.com. Love, Dad

First of many Holiday Weekend projects for you. I specifically did this because store bought soaker hoses are very sensitive and rip a lot, but my wife says berries need this kind of watering. Try it out and let me know what you think. Love, Dad

#ad Dad lecture for a good cause. Share this video so we can all be smart on the roads this summer. The hard truth to hear is that most people mean well when they are driving. You look at your phone because you “know there are no cars” or you roll through a stop sign because “looked all directions before you got there”. This is your reminder from Dad to take your safe driving seriously. You can read all about safe driving reminders at USAA.com/drivesafe. Thank you @USAA for looking out for all of us. Love, Dad

I built my son a garden fence using all products from @The Home Depot #HomeDepotPartner It’s important you remember that you can use this general approach but use any materials you want. You can swap these wood posts for metal, add smaller fencing on the bottom if you have critter problems and you can even build this without concrete if that’s your preference. I will leave a list of materials I used for this as well as the plans if you want to make something similar. I highly recommend using your The Home Depot resources like their in-store tool rental centers, The Home Depot app and all the many how-to guides on homedepot.com. I have confidence you can do this.  Love, Dad #WhatAreYouWorkingOn #TheHomeDepot

BIG weekend for road trips and you do not want to be caught unprepared. Share this with someone you love and for goodness sake, drive safe. Happy 4th of July from my family to yours. Love, Dad

We laugh but it brings me great joy to be her first call. Car problems and how to solve them. Love, Dad

Boating and trailer season so please remember: 🚨 SECURE YOUR LOADS 🚨. Please share. Love, Dad

You often ask how to negotiate at a car dealership so let me share a few Dad tricks #Ad 1. Shop online first (this allows you to check out all the dealerships to find the best price on the rig you want) 2. Figure out your NEEDS first, wants second. Too often people focus on the shiny parts of the car and forget to think about passenger size, towing capacity, bed size, etc. 3. Be realistic about how long you want your rig. If your family size changes, for example, you have more flexibility to start with a smaller car now and upgrade. If you’re in my position, I need a truck to work for my farm so I am prioritizing something that can be tough and last a long time. I’m grateful to partner with @Your Northwest Ford to teach a little about the truck shopping process. Go check out BUYFORDNOW.com to find the Ford vehicle for you at a dealer in your area. #NorthWestFordDealers #NorthWestFordDealerPartner #fordf350

My daughter asked to make me a video this year for Father’s Day and safe to say I am out in my fields with water coming out of my eyes. Thank you @Bose for celebrating Dads this Father’s Day and every Father’s Day. And to all the Dads out there doing your best: I am so proud of you. Don’t forget to dance in your fields every once in a while. #Ad #BosePartner

#ad I always tell my kids: It’s cheaper to prepare for emergencies than to recover from them. Almost everyone I know has it on their “list” to figure out their emergency kits or finally sit down and figure out their life insurance options in case of the loss of either parent. My ask of you is that you make these things a priority this month. Speaking of “make the first step smaller”, the first step I would take in learning about life insurance is to visit USAA.com/parents Tell me: What is one lesson you would tell your younger self? Love, Dad @USAA (USAA Life Insurance Company and USAA Life Insurance Company of New York
