OHMYGOSH!!!! Laughed so hard at that one!!!!

Was it just too wet???? Maybe try again after we haven't had several days of showers. I burned my year old pile & had to keep hosing down the back half to slow it down (it got BIG fast & scared me!). Or maybe it knew you weren't properly prepared with hotdogs & smores??? 😉

It's May. 🫣 Weird how time can fly & drag at the same time. In many ways it seems like it was JUST January. And in others I keep thinking things like HOW is it not July yet. 🤣 Work is good. Finding ways to deal with the heat. 🥵 Had a bizarre mystery the other day. We had some mild storms...

Oh my gosh... it's been a while!! Work update Things are still going good. I STILL haven't finalized my Creel training. 😒 I have to show 3 skills, 1 of which is being able to spot a particular issue between moving lines of fiber .... which will require a little experience ... which would...

Thanks! 😁

Oh WOW!!! HE'S AMAZING

One of the earlier ones went to the processor as a yearling who was still nursing.. a lot. I was fine with what I kept (mostly ground, stew beef & roasts) but several of the folks who got ribs or steaks said that they were so fatty that they practically disappeared on the grill.

I've just had one of my odd 🤔 "What would happen if" questions occur. Everyone agrees that you can't keep Cornish cross from season to season and let them breed. Not breeding true. Health issues as they age. Etc. So my question is; Could you keep a young rooster Cornish cross with a flock...

Work stuff Tested out of Creel level 2 & have pre-tested with the supervisor for level 3. Will test with the engineers on Wed. Will also be tested out for Beamer level 1. 😱 Things still seem to be going good & all the people are great. I'm sad though that when it's all done I'll most likely...

Welcome from South of Petersburg!

👍 still love my little mini tiller. It would be a BUGGER to try and till up a garden with! But if you need a big hole dug - 18" down & a few feet across - this thing is priceless. Small flower bed to put in? It'll do it. Planting a tree? Done.

Coffee is ready. Several kinds of creamer available, help yourself. 🙂 Starting my 2nd 12hr shift so I'm doubling up.

@Baymule I'm so glad he's home. When something has happened to one of my people, I'm never settled until I can lay my eyes on them. How long can he stay?

Congratulations!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

How easy? Those charcuterie boards are still all the rage I think. My Mom used to make an egg casserole for Christmas morning because it's assembled the night before & baked the next day. It's slices of bread & cooked sausage layered with cheese & covered in an egg batter. You could use Ham...

Work update. I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing anything 'extra ordinary' but they seem to be moving me through the training as fast as they can. I'm training in 2 positions - the Creel on days that A shift works & the Beamer on days that B shift works. Each module should take a minimum of a...

I mis-spoke, she was a year old this past November. So she's almost 1.5 yrs

@farmerjan here are some recent picts of Blossom. She is slightly thinner than normal. I tried to insist that they clean up the last of the bale that was in the feeder & they said they'd rather starve to death eating the barely existing spring grass. They got a fresh bale this evening 🙄 She's...

I saw a mouse a week or so ago. Set out 7 traps, got 1 mouse that night & nothing since. ... is it possible that I only had 1 mouse???

Yes, Blossom. Born the week before Thanksgiving '23. This is a blury screenshot, but if I'm reading it right - 500 to 700lbs brings $245 ‐ $232. ?
