This year’s batch arrived this morning. 8 weeks till they go live in the freezer

The worst I ever saw anyone get it was my BIL. He didn’t know what it looked like and went after it with a string trimmer. It was way up in some pine trees and he was smashing that stuff above his head. Drenched with sap and vine pieces. He ended up in the hospital for a few days with the only...

I never got poison ivy till about 5yrs ago. Now I look at it and get it. Now if I am cutting wood, long sleeves, long pants and wash exposed skin with dawn and post wash I wipe down with some 90% rubbing alcohol on my hands and arms. If I get it, it winds up being a dose of steroids to get...

Get the popcorn and pull up a chair. This is gonna be good.

Finally done. Got it moved outside and ready to fill. Was in the mid 70s here today allowing me to get the roof on and not burn up. The barn is ready for the meat chickens
