hooch said...rigs....i am probably only person on here knows what a rig is...maybe ladylocust.....i think i love you now.

i know you know what a crummy is too....lol...or a 6 pack....and no yall its not beer...lol

no question what industry you been around for sure.

p.s. talky tooter !

We had a 12 pack too. (Crew van) and a 4x4 dodge..but it only sat 3..was a beast tho..
We did alot of Doug fir removal that was getting too thick n encroaching on native grass land areas. Stands were planted in areas where they wernt before back in the day , then left.
We also did a ton of fisheries habitat restoration in streams that had been used to drag logs out of back in the day too. Salmon n trout populations were suffering due to the stream beds getting ripped up, pools destroyed or lacking in shade due to poor logging practices.
The fisheries industry and sport is a multi million dollar business in the pacific northwest, so we would spend weeks out in streams in the backcountry n rural mountains of California doing that and lots of trail work.
Good times..

Should be able to start putting the trusses up today and possibly the 1/2"×1" wire. I'll go down south on Monday to get the rest of the T 1-11 siding. The little building on the right is the brooder building.

I see I am pages behind here now...
Had a good day at the market, sold all the bread, eggs and veggies except some cucumbers. Sold the 2 chickens we took for $50 ( for both) , didn't sell a lot of meat but there were 4 meat vendors total there
I paid attention, my bread was gone first LOL. Everyone sold out on bread today, people must have wanted carbs LOL
Will catch up later have to do dishes and animal care that didn't get done this morning

 

[d_marsh]

On my way out the door. Have a good night everyone and I will be back sometime tomorrow. And remember, the only time panic buying is okay, is when the bartender shouts out "Last Call!".

Golly, How Big were They...?!?

 

[Amish Heart]

Went to the bigger town and got little granddaughter what she needed for band and for PE classes. Came home, and my bread maker/jam maker/yogurt maker was delivered, so after looking at the recipes, I went down to the amish store and got some bread flour, polenta, and gluten. Our whole town is closed on Sundays, so figured I'd better get it today if I want to try it out tomorrow. Talked to my nephew in Oklahoma. He and his wife with be coming in next weekend for the town celebration. We'll have a housefull. They've tried their hand at raising American Guinea Hogs and had their first 5 babies born yesterday, he was over the moon. Had to see the photos! Wouldn't mind raising them, too, but I'd want the set up done first. We'll see.

 

[sonya123]

Golly, How Big were They...?!?

$4 a pound ( and the other guy selling chickens whole are $4.50 a pound) , they were 5-7 lbs, don't remember the exact but it came out to $50
I threw in a few cucumbers for free since she wanted them but I forgot to add them before I ran her credit card

if you want meat I would pick a different breed, these guys are all lard , we had 2 a few years ago
They do taste really good however for the little meat you do get

[Tacitus]

Saturday night...and the wife has gone on a house cleaning tear for no apparent reason.

I cleared out to the deck with some music and wine. Nothing good was going to come from me staying in the house.

 

[LadyLocust]

A good day. @Pearl refuses to keep tabs on her weather. It was 99 here today . We’ve been in the 80s and supposed to be 80s and 70s next week.
Under the circumstances I let @Bacpacker take a day off and did my own weedeating. Got my sourdough baked- best loaf yet! . Made a nice wheel of cheddar. Then we did 9-1/2 quarts of salsa. Have more to take care of tomorrow but am hoping to make it to church so will see what I can accomplish.

 

[Bacpacker]

Not a ton. Meds, logging several test daily for upcoming Dr visits. Answered a bunch of text, couple phone calls from folks checking up on me. Went down to the birds and fed with the wife. Bible study, plus some other reading, playing some online chess. Walked some in the driveway, sat on the porch for a while.

LadyL thanks for weedeating for me.

 

[12icemaker]

Just in from SIL birthday party ate good had lots of good company and the two princesses were there getting their attention from all of the generations from all of the families.
IT Seems like just yesterday their mom and dad were married.
BIG WEDDING, crazy even.

I checked in on the weather thread!! Stupid hot, and I'm loving it!!

 

[Pearl]

MORNING DATE with Hubby! Yep, not some stranger, lol! He did some work on his truck and needs a good test drive....soooo, we are test driving it 45 minutes away to a lake we used to go to!! Otherwise I would NOT have a morning date! After 30 something years I know to pick my battles!! First going to the town closest to us for donuts, then hitting the road!! He asked if I wanted to go swimming, I said YES, in my pool when we get home!! So updates on our "date" tomorrow!! Actually sounds like fun!!

 

[joel]

Went to a funeral & had lunch with wife & daughter .

 

[zannej]

I fed and watered kitties and doggies, cooked for Mom, and got some rest. The heat saps my energy.

 

[Spikedriver]

It's 0505 on Sunday morning, and I'm just leaving my hotel for work. I've got today and tomorrow left, and then it'll be 7 days off!

it was actually cold enough here this morning I did not want to get out of bed ( like maybe high 50s

 

[sonya123]

today , getting caught up from doing market stuff . Animal care, do a load of laundry maybe, pull some weeds in the garden
we still don't have our Ranger back, really need to call them when they are open again ( Tuesday) to see what is the hang up.
I had a thought yesterday, I think I will make a cookbook for stuff we sell and call it "farmers cookbook" and sell it at the market, or give it away with a large purchase of meat or something. I did some for the kids, husband printed and put plastic covers on the pages. You can buy plastic sticky sheets for not much , most expensive part would be the printer ink. What a rip off that is....

Tamworth, is a good bacon hog & they forge well also.

 

[Tommyice]

Taking Dad out for breakfast then an appointment with the urologist. It’s raining so an inside day.

 

[Pearl]

Heading outside to feed and water. Driving to the lake with Hubby.

Beautiful place!!!! Just some like the ancestral homes in the Mountains I remember going to and staying in.

In the 60s Cuzs Aunt on his other side still lived on the side of the mountain looking straight out from a front porch like yours across the mountains and valleys for miles and miles just like in the 1800s.

She was Salt of the earth and a great cook on her wood fired stove and fireplace kettle hooks.
