    The Most Effective Natural Remedies for Common Ailments

    Possibly a #1 for all people. Simply dehydrated, even mildly. I often suggest to people to drink more water and they simply say I drink plenty of water. Sometimes I tell them I KNOW you don't, we've sat here how long and you haven't had any. Even a mild dehydration can cause or aggravate...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    That's going to be an awful lot of ice for a long time when your weather gets back to normal.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    The time off after weeks of 7 days a week (a month without seeing the family or house) then 6 days a week and lots of work to do at the house is a blessing. I hate to say it but a few things I've needed for years, also needed 6 consecutive big paychecks to get the parts. I've just started...

    Experimenting with growing food indoors

    I was wondering about lighting on the 5 bucket system at over 7' tall.

    Experimenting with growing food indoors

    The most I do is keeping 3 or 4 tomatoes in pots with cages so they're portable and I can bring them with me in the camper from job to job. 4 packs the tub pretty tight 3 is easier to separate the vines when pulling them back out of the tub. Also good for a frost. I've lost plants in 1 early...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Side note I got a little more time off this week. I figured after the weld test yesterday, I'd have to go straight from the shop to the job and start today. Instead I start Mon and just have to do some site specific "on-line" training. I hate everything going that way. When I asked yesterday...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    The car heater "doesn't work"?, didn't work before the cold spell?, just started?? Anywho an easy fix, if it's the problem is a common problem and generally overlooked. Check the coolant level. If it's not full enough it won't have the fluid to reach the heater core. Hopefully it's not the...

    Hunting and Fishing: What’s Your Take?

    Good to have another voice. Hasn't been a lot of activity here. By the way I got 2 whitetail doe this past season. Edit to say I already said that.< I'm wishing I had a few more days off this week to take the boys squirrel and rabbit hunting.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    If it's those eco fans, yes they are amazing. I love mine on the wood stove. I've also put one in the camper (and before in the garage) on the Mr. Buddy propane heater. It doesn't blow like the dickens but helps a LOT. Yes you're right, on most unfanned heat sources the heat goes straight up...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    We got our first round of snow, a bigger dose tonight and still dropping temps. 20's all day yesterday, negatives coming. As much as I don't like all the cold, it actually helped make the snow stick and not give us our usual ice-covered streets and power lines.
