    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    When you added to a pot, and boiled the crap out of it, the salt wasn't such a big deal either - but yes, if one was sweating buckets, it could help w/ your sodium levels.

    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    Growing up, we used another "S" word. and cheap white bread. I don't make it anymore. Too much salt. Its what I imagine salted beef and hardtack was like for sailors and men on the march.

    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    I'm not particularly fond of French cooking, but there is fine reason why a béchamel is considered a "Mother Sauce". Making it is one of the first skills to master when learning to cook. So versatile. Only a few other skills and you can happily cook for yourself and others w confidence for...

    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    I'm sorry, WHAT???? Imagine Fat and Carbs, all light fluffy, hot and toasted (Biscuits) Now imagine fat and carbs and milk (liquid protein), warm and silky and mild and creamy (White Gravy) Now imagine crumbled fat and protein with a peppery bite (sausage), all hot and steamy. Now combine...

    Thank you for asking. I've had maybe 5 hours sleep (interrupted), breakfast is leftover coffee and vitamin D. Thinking about biscuits & gravy. Improving? Yes, probably.

    Honestly, if I went thru withdrawal right now, my wife would (very reasonably) divorce me. Coffee is life.

    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    I sure hope so. I still have too many old birds on site. and too many goats, period. Rained all weekend, now I'm coming down with something. Sitting deep in my throat right now, hollow, unproductive cough. Sound hoarse. Otherwise fine. Lots of Vitamin D and Coffee, should be fine in a day...

    Rather small eggs, think these are from the next to newest hatch - but its good to see eggs again, thought there were going to be none till Mid January. Also came up with one turkey, and two duck eggs today.

    That is comforting to hear. My wife and I had a 14# (processed weight - so maybe 22-23# live weight?) bird for Thanksgiving, and every meal thereafter till last evening, still have half the breast (in the freezer). I'm struggling to come to grips w/ how much bigger this bird will be. Even...

    Agree. He managed one viable egg hatching before last. He's just huge - like a Great Dane rushing by as he wobbles/waddles to the food bowl. and probably too tough for a fancy meal. Thinking turkey burgers.

    Not even one year old and big breasted bronze, he's got to weigh over 30 pounds.

    None of the last batch of Turkey eggs were fertile. Tom's time is coming to an end Eventually. Culling day keeps getting pushed back. Greenhouse framed and painted. Rain and mounting hardware slowed the assembly, still need to attach the walls and cut at the top. "PVCLite" and "Suntuf"...

    (and I was so tired after work I completely forgot) Also, Lowes called and cancelled a chunk of my Order. Looks like I'm going to have to drive to Dothan for closure strips. {Grrrrr....}

    When Cadkey became Parametrics for Solid Modeling it went from user friendly to NOT. Apparently, that was typical of the Cad products at the time.

    I used to teach Cadkey. Taught myself enough SketchUp in a weekend to get by. May draft something after work, if I'm not too tired - using the tractor at lunch to level more of the greenhouse [yes, I SHOULD have done this before I finished the walls. Wife had a change of plans/priorities -...

    ...and delivery is delayed till tomorrow. For anyone curious, I can't use local limestone as grow medium in my tanks because it will continue to drive the pH of the water alkaline as it wears away, making it impossible to get the system in balance, or to grow any acid-loving plants. The rock...

    Anyone that wants to offer floorplans, imagine a rectangle 166" wide by 284" tall. Doorway at bottom right corner, entering from the side. Totes measure 40" x 48". The big tanks go OUTSIDE - its only the grow beds I need to both place, and be able to walk around. Does me no good to have 48"...

    Greenhouse keeps getting more expensive. $1,300 in materials coming today, should allow me to do roof, door, walls. Framing (other than one corner which is still temporarily braced) is done. My wife [brilliant woman, doesn't get enough mention] has convinced me to extend the greenhouse (roof)...
