I throw cheese at whatever babies I want. I don't know what you're talking about, but if the situation calls for it..
Once I get my forge up and running again. I will be back to doing trades. Yes @honorary pie sometimes I feel like I am.
I might be tapping birch as well. But that will probably wait till next year. After I have a season under my belt. But making birch beer would be fun, plus only picking up 2 dozen taps this first time. Next year I will probably have a few more. @Cap'n Joe yes. @oldmiser oh yeh. It's one of the reasons I want to start making it. Mostly as gifts and personal use.
That's cool! Do you have a place to boil it down? My Uncle made it for years and had a little shack with a wood stove and a huge pan on top, it was a 24hr process the whole time the sap was flowing.
Not this season, might just do it over an open fire first then switch to the camper that has a propane stove to finish it off
I was really determined to keep trying em. We walked 10 acres through the woods exploring land. With the 2 ft of snow on the ground, I sure as hell want taking em off. Lol. I was really amazed at how well they worked. I just unfortunately look like a duck while using em
so does every one else that pretty much shoe shoe's.....there are some narrow & short one's out there..you kinda schuffle your feet forward
I already want to get back out and try em out again. But I just started a 2nd job today. So we shall see how much time I can find to use em again
Got our wood stove installed yesterday. First thing to make on it is coffee, this morning. I haven't been this warm in awhile.
Since getting hit with 2 surprise snow storms, and another supposed to hit today. My damn septic froze in the camper. Hopefully I don't have to say anymore. Lol. 2 tanks of propane went our at the same time. Thankfully I had a spare. But as @Bone I refuse to quit. This will only make me stronger. Damn
My Amish made tiny house got finished today, delivery next week for winter. Also it's official we adopted a new dog. Up to 3 now
That is cool as hell,please take a series of pics from when it gets there till you have it done that sounds like it will be a great post with the pics getting added as you go,how did you find them to build it? sorry for the questions
I been thinking of doing some sort of a blog online. I will be taking a bunch of new photos throughout the process. @Big Ron I don't mind the questions. But there are a few large Amish communities up here. They own a few businesses, I was recommend to check em out. And was happy with what they built.
My tent is almost bigger then it, but it will be warmer, as I found a larger wood stove and am doing diy insulation. Using Rockwool , which is top of the line stuff
Sporadic snow showers all day today. Gonna drop down to 22 tonight. Wood stove In my canvas tent works very well
We had frost, I didn't see it when I took the dogs out at 5am. Almost bust my ass. Been having a ton of stuff going on here. A mix of good and bad. But wouldn't trade it
A little of both. The camper isn't hooked up to any power. But the tent has the wood stove. So on cold nights, we go into the tent.
i hate burnt pancakes,, they arent golden at all .. I'm confused, is this a metaphor or you just colorblind son? politics? what the f uck Ryan? I thought we was talkin' flapjacks here ?
Up here, one of the guys running for Congress. His last name is Golden.. it wss a political attack ad on the radio, and they said he is as Golden as a burnt pancake. I thought it was hilarious. But that saying is now stuck in my head.
Fostering is my way off giving back to someone who helped me all those years fetching ducks and geese. When I stopped hunting I switched from labs to shelties about 11 years ago. Dinner is not complete without a little dog hair.
I totally understand. I feel the same about my old dog who was a rescue, I only rescue other animals. Nevrrr will go to a breeder
Started fostering a new dog today. Unfortunately I think it's gonna work out and will be adding another to my crew
I foster Shelties, number nine is laying next to me. My two boys love the endless stream of dogs I foster and ones I pup sit.
@honorary pie what pets do you have? I think my wife Is going to get my son and me a dog this spring...
I love shelties. I been in animal care for almost a decade. I am looking to add an english Springer spaniel at some Point. 4-5 dogs as a pack is my limit. @ZAttach he has a few mix breeds
I finally saw a moose today. 2 of em. At 5 am still pretty dark, i spooked one at 30 ft. Running through my yards, dogs werent happy.
Moose are awesome big animals my friends dad shot one when he was young it's head was the size of a garage door he said they sure don't make them like they used to
They really are. Idk, these 2 were pretty damn big. I would have to say close to 1500 lbs. With full antlers, I just wish my flashlight batteries were not dying or I would have seen it bigger. Plus bring just 50 ft from my door, without even hearing the, until the last minute. It's crazy
I figured that was what happened because I remember you talking not that long ago about cutting down your first tree,I'm just glad y'all are ok and it was only a washer and not the house, have a good one brother
Thanks wasn't too bad. I made a new one. I keep everyone inside while I cut trees, just so no one gets hurt.
Cool. You know I never figured a hand pump would lift water 220 ft. but then I never had a well quite that deep. How did the test come out?
Thanks, well if I do it correctly then it will automatic prime itself. The pump is actually only going to reach down to 50 feet, the static water is 20ft. And it's supposed to be about 20 feet below that. My only concern is dropping the damn pipe, never to be seen again. Once the pump is in, I have to pump out 1000 gallons before I can get the water tested. So it's still up in the air on what is in it
Very glad to see it go. If you stir a pile of poop it stinks worse and it still stinks if you just let it lay there. Flush it and the stink goes away. It was past time that one got flushed.
I know those work, but this driller didn't do it. I got to pick a spot. A few of yhe other well drillers will have a dowsee come through, we ended up our well isnt too bad, but he said it should get better over time
It will take a few days to a week for it to really clear up and settle down. How deep? Is it pounded or drilled? Cased? Drilled will clear sooner than pounded, the more standing water you have in the case the longer it will take to settle.
@Buckskin Dave I been keeping my thread in off topic up to date. So it's easier to follow. And i have everything in one place
