Not much to report today. Weather has been great. Milking is going well, production down to 2.5 g/d. Back is ok but being careful what I do. Hope all are well and happy. Cheers Trim sends

Things have actually improved with Gladys. (My cow) I figured out she didn’t like the smell of the corn. I put feed only in her bucket and now she comes regularly. Hasn’t missed a milking since I changed the process. I installed a holder for two 15 quart over the fence type feeders today. I...

WW bakes it in the oven. Then scoops it out and puts it in the FD trays. No special treatment that I can tell you. Last batch took 46 hours to freeze dry. Hope that helps.

Well the year is advancing despite all the hype. The garden is winding down and the preservation work is in full swing. Finally found a teenager who is willing to work and she spent four hours helping me yesterday. Good worker. I’ve been keeping her family supplied with milk for the past two...

G'day Mates, Looks like the problem I had was because the site was down rather than ransomware pirates...I'm actually really glad to know that. So much has been going on in my life over these past several years. It's really hard to know where to begin. I'll take it one step at a time and sooner...

I applaud Britesea for looking it up. She showed the kind of initiative we need now. Others just expect it handed to them. Not sure what to say about that in diplomatic terms. Britesea’s answer was close., but not quite accurate. The message states essentially “we’re Being overrun...bring...

Last Minute List. TMM is a message YOU NEVER WANT TO GET. Ask anyone who has been a Green Beret what it means! I was Green Beret in 1973. Enough said.

Be absolutely certain that your LML is complete before the election results are known. I’m reading things about people who want to contest the election results and are threatening to start civil war if they don’t like the results. Mr. Podesta is leading that movement along with HRC. READ...

Hello hqueen, Long time since we last talked. I guess you’re still near gunpowder falls. I am still in SDAK. Lots of changes since my last post. Been milking a Jersey for nearly three years. Part of my self sufficiency approach. Just thought I’d say hi! Cheers Trim sends

Greetings all, It’s been a really long time. Things have changed but not all. Good to know you are still going. Cheers Trim sends

"I'm right here, Huckleberry and I've got two guns; one for each of ya!" (Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday in Tombstone.) While it is true that I have been gone for quite a while it is also true that I have been as busy as a one armed paper hanger. Through a series of interesting events, I came upon...

Greetings all, This coming from a long hiatus tells me that all these hygiene concerns have in some way never looked at the actual CAUSE of why we "stink". It can be limited pretty much to one concept, food and the spices we use to flavor it. When I was in Vietnam (a few years ago now) the...

Vital signs WNL. Alert and Oriented x 3. Taking food and fluids. Moving all four. Ambulatiry without assistance.

Well, me and Bob Warr are having a time of it. Yes, I am winning but it isn't and easy contest. Below are a few "Observations" achieved whilst working with my friend, Bob Warr! Trim's observation #1: If there is even a tiny hole anywhere in your leather gloves, Bob Warr will find it and...

Well, actually I am still here but have been busier than a one armed paper hanger with a broken leg. The fact that I lost my "password list" a while back didn't help matters any. Things have been going well. Had a baby llama on 25 OCT and one this past Monday. I've been away so long that I don't...

I think so. One nest fell from the ceiling in the barn and five babies recently hatched were lost. Not a good day. I never realized how tired I could get until I cut all that firewood this morning. Seems like the more I cut, the more I found that needed to be cut. I had to move that elm tree...

So, it is still raining every day. Not the big, hard rain, just the fine mist that moistens everything. It isn't so bad, but the mud left behind by the torrents we got (~3") made the entire farm a wet, muddy mess. I have to wear my snow boots to walk around because all my work boots are now...

It wasn't always condemned. That came from the Puritan psychology, I think.

Then we can move forward in peace. That is what I would prefer.

It seems you missed the point. There is NO anger in what I said. This really isn't a thread asking for opinion, is it? It is really quite simple. If you decide to "hijack" the thread and take it in another direction, perhaps you will find those who object? Everyone is entitled to an...
