    Thanks! Of course I took the pic after I painted the roof & pressure washed the rest.:) I haven't painted the back/upper part because it's new and insanely slippery.

    Greetings from Vail, Arizona

    Love the Pork Chop stories! Yes, they can fly. Mine can somehow get from the ground up to a 2 x 4 eight feet up to roost.

    Meriruka's Tales - need advice on squash

    I managed to mangle one of my hands, so now I've got some unplanned free time and the pills doc gave me are rendering me just a teensy bit loopy. :P Thought I'd give this a shot........ 01. Name? Sam (nickname from older brother) 02. Gender? Female 03. Disneyworld or Disneyland? Was at 'world...

    Thanks! This will give me something to read while the snow falls (yet again) this weekend. I'll put on my tinfoil hat and let it get all apocalyptic up in here. :lol:

    Are all cast iron pans created equal?

    I know I'm truly blessed with great neighbors, they love watching the crazy yankee but they are just the sweetest , most helpful people in the world who would do anything for you. I can't say they aren't justified, a lot of the stuff I do has the potential to leave me broken & bleeding on the...

    What kind and how many animals do you have?

    I too was surprised at the amount & variety as I read along the thread, when I saw '1 snail' a picture formed in my head that I just had to draw & spent 15 minutes giggling like an idiot the whole time. I beg you not to be offended in any way, I'm just a silly fool. To list: 53 chickens (14...

    Are all cast iron pans created equal?

    Thanks, I'll give it a shot in Spring. This has the potential to really amuse my neighbors. last time I set a fire to burn a brush pile, my neighbor drove up and hollered, (he always hollers at me) "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD A PROPER FIRE!" I said, "Well of course I don't, Bob, when you set...

    singles site for farmers.....

    Normally, school, bars & feedstores would be some of the places to meet people. For me, I'm old, so school is out, there are no bars around here except maybe at Applebee's and I can't even picture how silly I would look sitting around on a bar stool. You'd think the feed store would be an option...

    Anyone know what this is?

    All I can think of is crushing berries or packing down herbs for storage. Maybe flatten out flowers before drying?

    Are all cast iron pans created equal?

    I've seen them go for around $250 at other auctions....so I was pretty sure it was a good deal. I made out like a bandit at that auction... it was an outdoor auction, it was sleeting all day and the ground was a foot of mud. I don't know why they didn't cancel it, but I stuck it out till the end...
