    I obtained the setup on Amazon...Eco-Worthy. The batteries are surprisingly light, as compare to the Renogy AGMs that I have.

    Natural breeding thread

    After 2 previous attempts, my broody hen Rosie, finally hatched out 2 chicks this morning. I opted to let her sit on 4 eggs 21 days ago, and when I went to tend to the flock this morning, I noticed the 2 extras.

    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    The first time I experienced gout, I rushed to the ER asking for x-rays to be taken on my toe; I had thought I broke a bone. My experience is, I take the anti-inflammatory pills with 3 ibuprofens and wash it down with 3 beers. Works wonders with the pain..hehe

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    Thank you for the recommendation! We just bought a 3 lbs bag of sweet cherries from Marc's...and my blueberry bush has a few berries on it, but isn't ready for harvest. I've got meds for the gout, but it takes a few days to help out.

    Thank you...I've noticed that I've been getting gout almost every other month now, and it normally last between 5 and 8 days. They told me to cut down on my red meat intake and drinking liquor. Waiting on my second opinion...
