    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Well that escalated quickly. 55 on Saturday to 3” of white stuff today. Should be gone by Tuesday. Hoping for a dry weekend to finish out the brush cutting

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Took the B1700 and mowed around the fire pit now that the pile is burnt, brot up a couple bucket of wood with the B3200 and hooked up the brush hog and did a couple hrs of cutting. Probably 3 to go

    New Compost Bin

    Yeah. I got one of those too. It’s called the woods. Haven’t had to move leaves since we moved here

    New Compost Bin

    Done. Went from plan B to plan C for the shape. I’m quite pleased with a couple bins for food to rot in. Pressure treated is quite wet so no stain till next summer. Easy to remove front panels. I ground down a few old RR spikes and they did the trick. The eye hooks weren’t strong enough for a...

    Made a pot of spicy black bean soup and topped it with cheddar cheese and some of my bacon. Tasty

    New Compost Bin

    Well back on it. I think I went too big. Gonna finish assembly and then cut it down just above the 5th board from the bottom. That makes the bins 4x4 and 34” tall. Wife will get a nice raised bed out of my miscalculated compost bin. Time to stop for lunch and reflect on the errors of my design

    What's cookin' boys?

    Not sure what it is but I do not like chili in any shape, form or flavor. Wife loves it and makes it all the time. Those meals for me end up being a ham sandwich or other leftovers

    Final day!

    Final bird post. The ones we left whole weighed out 9+lbs. Wife is not too happy. She had to get creative getting them in to the vacuum freezer bags. Definitely will be sending them to processing a week earlier. I picked a good day to go in to the office.

    Final day!

    Our local grocery has a tag line of “everything you need” I amended it and add and nothing you want. Fitting. On the rotisserie chickens, they are tasty but give us an uncooked bird for the price and you will get a 3lb bird raised fast. All bone and minimal meat

    Final day!

    No weights but this batch averaged out to $22.00/bird. Now they chill. Tomorrow they get vacuum packed and frozen. Can I get them cheaper? Maybe but I enjoy the 8wks. For reference a 4 lb chicken at my local grocery is $11.00. Now if you step it up to pasture raised prices range from 30-90 a...

    Windows 10 Alternative

    I switched my FIL to Ubuntu years ago. He was a chronic yes/ok clicker. Worked great. Anything he downloaded went to trash and he had no rights to install or execute anything. The only thing he could do was preview photos from his friends which made him happy. Made me happy since I was not...

    Final day!

    The birds are off to the processor before the sun came up this morning. 29 total. 8 weeks and 5 days. Will have total cost per lb after pick up. Everything is washed, sanitized and put away for the next batch.
