My wife and I are contemplating moving. We may have to sell the house to settle the estate. If we do sell neither one of us see any reason to live where we do now. In fact we would both like to get out of Washington state. We need to move someplace where the weather isn't as bad for my wife's...

@INresponse post on his YouTube videos spurred me to start this thread. If you have a video you particularly like or think others might enjoy link it here. Here's one I saw today.

My wife makes the best fudge I have ever had. Today she made a batch. I am on Keto so I did not even lick the spoon. We're giving it to my Aunt tomorrow for her 81st birthday. That's 7 pounds of calories, fat and carbs. I think I gained 2 pounds just looking at the picture.

Lately I have noticed I don't taste or smell things like I used to. I know that's a symptom of Covid but I tested negative yesterday. I had Covid in December but I'm just now noticing the problem My taste and smell are about 10 to 20% of what they were. Sour is almost completely gone. Spicy has...

I just got a message from my Grandson in MO. He said they got a notice from their power company telling them starting Monday the power company will take control of their thermometers and the homeowner or renter will not be able to adjust them. This is supposedly them trying to stop blackouts. I...

As I get older I have found I really like some of the foods I hated as a kid. A partial list. Asparagus. The season is about to start here and I can't wait. SPAM Peas Lima beans with ham I can't find that anymore. Liver and onions. For some strange reason I have been wanting that. Not sure I...

Currently we do not have an emergency radio. I'm thinking it might be a good thing to have just incase. We don't have tornados, hurricanes, or much chance of flooding. Earthquakes are rare and so far not very big. High winds, maybe snow and ice storms but again very rare. There was one volcano...

After reading Ladylocus's thread about sustainability I started thinking about my families life in a true end of the world situation. I thought about what will happen to me and my family and the reality is we will be among some of the first to die off. We'll probably make it for a couple of...

I sent 3 Black Angus calves to the sale yesterday. One was pregnant and weighed 985 she sold for $850. Heffer weighed 895 and sold for $783. Steer weighed 895 and sold for $805. I paid $1.53 a pound and sold for @ $.90 a pound. That means I LOST around $500 this summer after all the other costs...

In keeping with a theme from Weedys redneck thread how about the most redneck thing you have ever personally done. I will start. I dated a cousin. In my defense, I did not know she was my cousin and she was smoking hot and very friendly. That budding romance ended very quickly. Her decision, not...

I had 3 windows that were getting hit by the sprinklers. They were so covered with hard water deposits you could not see through them. I tried everything I could find to clean them and the only thing that did anything was a razor blade and that would have taken forever. I finally used citric...

I bought 3 calves with a total weight of 1600 pounds. I bought a new water trough that is about 2 feet deep and holds 110 gallons. I filled it up and the next morning there was about 6 inches of water left in it. The ground around the tank is dry so I don't think it leaked out. I refilled the...

I watched a youtube video yesterday with Living Traditions Homestead and they were talking about their new cellular internet service. They are using a company called Nomad Internet. Their review was sponsored so it might be a little biased. Have any of you ever tried Nomad? If so what do you...

I have a Yanmar grey market tractor and it does not have a live PTO, meaning when the clutch is pushed in and the momentum of the spinning blades will push the tractor forward which is not good. To eliminate that I installed an overrun clutch so the mower will spin but not push the tractor. Now...

OK, we already have True Grit and Red Dawn as bad remakes. I will add Magnum PI for the worst TV remake.

I heard about an App for your phone that can ID any plant from a picture. You just take a picture and hit send and in a few seconds you have the name. I downloaded it and tried it out on a few flowers and it was able to identify every plant. It's free and you don't have to give out any...

I have 2 pairs of jeans that I wear when working on my tractor and other things around the place. They get a lot of oil and grease on them. Yesterday I decided to see if I could get them clean. First I used Oxyclean gel and a scrub brush, then I soaked them in powered Oxyclean and hot water for...

Found this youtube video and thought some of you might be interested. It's a DIY watering system. Looks easy to make and holds 5 gallons of water.

I don't know where this post should go so I will put it here and the mods can move it if they want, I am not sure where first heard about this, it may have been here. Kidde has a recall on some fire extinguishers. I found one in my shop that my Dad bought at a garage sale. He paid 1 dollar for...
