    There are two signs of old age, one is forgetfulness and I can't remember the other. Unknown

    Front Porch Chit Chat

    Happy Easter everyone. Had the folks out for dinner and a movie. Ate too much and had a good time with nice weather outside for once. Hope everyone had as nice a day with friends or family.

    Front Porch Chit Chat

    I hate rain. I mean I hate rain so much I'd rather have snow. Years of working outside in different jobs has made me just hate rain. It makes everything harder, depresses the mood and soaks you cloths no matter what you wear. I hope the plants like it because I still hate rain. Guess what the...

    Ducks!

    An important note my duck raising neighbor told me is DO NOT feed them Medicated chicken food as it will harm water fowl of all kinds. ;-)

    Just stopping by with a general update on the life and times. I am working part time again doing low voltage installs and the schedule is as unpredictable as it ever was. Off Monday, 3.5 hours yesterday and off the rest of the week. I did get my five new fruit trees and with the warm weather...

    Country internet and phone

    Okay, it seems I've solved my issue and again saved money. No hot spot needed since I can use my cell phone as a hot spot which saved me spending $80 and adding another line. My internet is working really well too so I'm happy. :-)

    Do you have any running water so you can spray the trees down?

    Has anyone had Muscovy ducks?

    Wild Muscovies, native to the American tropics, are wary, fast-flying birds of wooded rivers and swamps. Most Muscovies seen in North America are of the barnyard variety, but small numbers of wild birds from northeastern Mexico may appear on the Rio Grande in southern Texas. These big ducks nest...

    Has anyone had Muscovy ducks?

    One of the oldest domesticated fowl species in the world, the Muscovy Duck was already being kept by native people in Peru and Paraguay when the early Spanish explorers arrived. The word “Muscovy” may refer to the Muscovy Company (incorporated in London in 1555), which transported these ducks to...

    Has anyone had Muscovy ducks?

    Well, the pen is built in the barn, just need a top made for it and some ducks and geese to put in it once they are big enough. :)

    Seems legit to me. LOL Just be aware of any infections after surgery as 100% of issues I've seen friends and family deal with were caused by infections. Also get the bionic upgrade, no difference in strength but that cool bionic noise really impresses the ladies. :LOL:

    Planted A Few Trees.

    Well, you know Western Ohio, it's too windy in most situations for simple solutions to work. Even Lynds Apple Farm out past Gahanna loses crops because of the weather in Ohio despite all types of defenses at their facility. :(

    Water Main Break

    I've seen farmers in New York paint COW or GOAT in red paint on the sides of their animals because there are idiots from the cities around.

    Water Main Break

    I keep three gallons of filtered water in the refrigerator which gets cycled regularly to keep it fresh and another 5 gallons of tap water in storage for cooking and washing if needed. I'm on a well and know if it goes it could be days before it could be repaired. As for the ease wit which...

    Country internet and phone

    So the cellular hot spot arrived and didn't work. Apparently they put an ATT sim card in it and my cell phone that works fine has Sprint. So I'm shipping it back and will reorder once my credit card gets cleared for the bill. Sort of surprised that as good as Consumer cellular has been they were...

    Planted A Few Trees.

    Will do, but my fear at this point is our unseasonably warm weather we are getting in February. The maples are starting to bloom and I know we are sure to get more hard freezes before Spring is over. If the peaches start to bloom I'll be fruitless this year. :cry:

    Well, for near $20 I'm hoping the fungicide I'm getting from Stark kills the crap out of the fungus. https://www.starkbros.com/products/tools-and-supplies/pest-and-disease-controls/bonide-fung-onil-multi-purpose-fungicide?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ursa Consumer Acknowledge&utm_content=ursa...
