I had a bad week last week. It seemed that everything was against me. But then came Christmas eve and my granddaughter and my daughters came over. And even though not everything went right but when my granddaughter handed me a hand written/drawn Christmas card. I had her read it to me and...

Happy Birthday Manue 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈

I agree Perris. I went to a technical school so the math and physics were driven to help with electrical engineering. I don't consider myself a mathematical genius but I understood the importance and applied myself. I graduated with highest honors. My daughters were my motivation, they were...

Taking a break from everything and everyone is sometimes necessary. I pray for your sick babies. Enjoy your weekend, I hope you come back smiling and refreshed 😊

I have a mixed flock of turkeys and 2 EE hens. They get along fine and even free range together. They hatched simultaneously and have been together their whole lives.

@ManueB I would probably eat our male turkeys but they are Lety's pets. No offense in asking ☺️

And now they're learning to swim

@BDutch Here in the states the wildlife biologists say that you must kill 80 percent of the wild boar population in order to keep the population in check. Once a sow reaches 6 months old she starts breeding and has 2 or 3 litters of piglets every year. These litters average 10 or more piglets...

My advice was given in the case of if they can shoot it. Here boars are a nuisance. All you need is a hunting license. Perhaps they have game wardens who may be willing to trap and then relocate the boar.

Having killed several boar in the heat, if you kill it and intend to eat it you should first remove the testicles and entrails immediately. This will help protect the meat from harmful bacteria. Of course next thing is to skin it and quarter it. Your partner probably knows these things so I...

Lety and I want to take a trip there in mid October if we can find someone to care for our animals.

I am always amazed at how beautiful it is there. Your pictures make me miss being home in autumn. The Appalachian mountains are very beautiful in October.

@ManueB I hope your heat wave is a short one. I was looking at our 30 day forecast and we should see a drop in temperatures to the middle 90s around the first week of September. Not much rain in our forecast but praying anyways.

@ManueB I hope all is well. Popped in to see how things are going.

Turkeys and chooks for taxes

PS: Don't get me started about native Americans and the multitude of wrong doings done unto them. My father accidentally received a book called Bury my hear at Wounded Knee. It was a synopsis of the plight of several tribes west of the Mississippi. After reading it several times I can never...

I agree. Good whiskey trumps all. I also love history. Had I chosen to teach I would have liked to teach history. My wife and I discuss Mexican history as well. It's a shame how many are blissfully ignorant especially those who say we shouldn't let Mexicans into Texas. The idiots don't know it...

@ManueB I consider myself conservative on most topics but i also know that it would be unwise to take that approach on everything. A lot of people just can't agree to disagree when it comes to discussing certain topics. Certain people i can discuss politics with and certain ones i cannot. My...

They weren't locked up.

We are certain they were stolen. Multiple chickens gone. No blood, no piles of feathers. Just gone. Nothing personal against immigrants, I'm married to one. Thieves are thieves no matter where they're from.
