The pumpkin spice everything month coffee thread.

[pony express]

Had to start a fire last night, first this season. The two electric space heaters couldn't keep up any more. Some nights down in the mid 30's, but forecast of 29 Saturday night.

Sun us peking thru the trees...,

Coffee is up...





Little goat kept me up all night- he is not responding to treatments very well.  Downhill the last 24 hours.  Gotta take care of the ithe others and the chickens now.

Church is having fall festival Saturday, going to pick up some baled hay for it this morning. Hard and rare to find straw around here. I don't think i can squeeze range time in.

 A week or so before my lung collapsed i traded a rifle for a AR. I have yet to fire it.



Corrections made after i found my readers.

Wife came home this morning, and announced it was 38 outside. We just had a load of wood delivered yesterday, but when I picked up the top of the stove to clean it out, the gasket fell away in several pieces, and the same with the grate. It is a real good thing I ignore the wife sometimes. She didn't want to get kerosene for the heater, because she doesn't like the smell. I don't care about the smell, as much as the time it takes to get a good fire going first thing in the morning. So, once again, the Man is right, all hail the King

In other news, the well is still F'd. Nobody will bother to even look at it, they will only come out for $6k to drill a new one. That ain't happening. On the bright side, somebody said that it is fairly easy to replace the casing yourself. Can anybody else verify this?

Don't know about casing - have used a backhoe and rope to replace a submergible pump. Around a 100 foot deep. Well companies do not like to use old casings too many contaminates.

Afternoon all.

Sunny and clear, high forecast at 60. 

Nothing on my itinerary today except coughing.  Still.

A couple days off from work, I have too many vacation days to carry over to the next year. 2 days this week and 4-5 for deer season should get it down to where it need to be.

Mid 70's today, 40's tomorrow. Bye-bye warm weather, at least for the next few weeks.

[Good Troy]

PE-- enjoy your time off work, and try to get some time off next summer for the Grand Muster!

Good luck with those Chinese chickens, Slim!

G.T.: First day off was great, worked a little harvesting the garden and storing some of the (hopefully) longer storing stuff. Had so many winter squash, stored a bunch in the crawl space under the house, don't have many "non freezing" places to put them. Hopefully all these cats have kept the rodent population down under there. Dug a bunch of sweet taters, too. Took the wife and kids exploring around the farm on a "cardboard ride" Was a cardboard ride because I didn't have any hay to put in the wagon for a hay ride. Taught Older Daughter how to skip flat rocks on the creek. She had several "2 skips", my best was 4 or 5. Hadparent /teacher conferences in the evening, 2nd grader reading at 4th grade level, and math at 3rd. Yup, was a good day.

Fashion Police, they were trying to shoot that ugly hate of that woman's head and the car hit a bump.

Take the list of people  who wanted him gone and compare it to the one of those that didn't.   Guess which one is larger?

Morning all.

Finally did something useful with all this free time I have while unemployed.  Got my wheat from the summer all threshed, winnowed and Ziplocked.  Took almost two hours to do it "the old fashioned way" with a sack and a big stick, but it was effective.  From 12 sqft of ground and about an ounce of seed, I got about 8-10 ounces of return, so it wasn't too bad.  Dog was confused about why I didn't throw the big stick.

My 2/10 of a dollar on the Kennedy deal is that Bigfoot did it.  But, that was a little before my time.

TK, I guess next year you can plant 1000 sq feet with your saved seed. I just picked what was left of my field corn, the deer and squirrels have been working on it while I waited for it to dry down. Don't know how much yet, it's still in the husk. So far I've got a medium size plastic tote full of buckwheat, about 40 large squash, 2 1/2-3 gallons of dry beans and 10-15 lb of sweet potatoes, and still have 3 watermelons left. Getting ready to go till it up and sow some wheat now. I "threshed" the buckwheat with a plastic tarp and a piece of PVC pipe to beat it with.

Edit: Meant 1000 sq ft, not 100.
