My frustration level has reached the outer limits. I created a post 7 paragraphs in length and accidentally backed out of it to find all is lost. Gone... So, do I attempt to recreate what was lost or surrender? Here's the short of it. This battle to relocate the skunk needs to happen. The skunk … Continue reading The Battle Begins: Skunk Relocation & Demonetized Again
Heating a Chicken Brooder: No Electricity Required and the Coming Disaster(s)
About every third year we purchase baby chicks and keep them inside our home for 6 weeks. Most people wisely place them in a barn, shop, garage, mud room, etc., but for people who live off grid in snow country, it is not so simple. The 100 Watt heat lamp tends to suck the battery … Continue reading Heating a Chicken Brooder: No Electricity Required and the Coming Disaster(s)

Back Saver, Tree and Stump Remover is Kioti Tractor
I have discovered so many uses for my Kioti Tractor CK3510; I am continuously amazed. Every homestead that has acreage, gathers firewood, has animals, plants gardens and orchards, plans to build outbuildings, or lifts heavy equipment needs a tractor with a loader.

I know strange title, but today is Good Friday. The video has nothing to do with Easter, yet to post on Good Friday without even acknowledging my Christian roots and the traditional Passover, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus would be awful. To be honest, I don't post much about my faith on this website, but … Continue reading Peeping Tom’s and Easter Sunday
