Landslide takes out part of hwy 1 in the Big Sur area. No one should be surprised. It has been happening my entire 68 years and probably long before that. And of course it isn't only the road, many houses have ended up in the ocean over the decades.

Man, I would have to be in SERIOUS sad shape to be looking forward to that! Keep on keeping on, it will get better and (so I'm told) you will be very happy you had it done as the recovery pain subsides.

Nope but it is going to be COLD Sat - Mon. Lows near or maybe below 0°F!!!!! We were way above normal last week so I guess we have to pay for it by being way below next week. Actually .... we aren't supposed to ask people's age on BYC. Mostly to protect the minors I think. So you did right...

That is kinda how it works ;) I'm the same age as @CapricornFarm ... for another month ;) Happy birthday! Now you can decide if you want to start SS early. In 3 years (minus a couple of months) you have to sign up for Medicare. See, you are still young!

I'm assuming someone won the SB but I don't care ;) Replaced the 49 year old pump (down about 90' in a 120' well) last year; yes installed in 1974! I thought maybe the foot valve had failed but in fact it was the anti-siphon valve next to the old galvanized pressure tank in the basement (and...

That is how I built a cover for the 3 blueberry bushes, 7' T-posts spaced cattle panel width apart 4' wide tunnel, cattle panels ground to ground then covered with chicken wire to keep the birds out. Worked fine until the winter when we had a heavy wet snow. The upside down U turned into an M...

Solar panels and Tesla Powerwalls here. The only way we know the power went out is the clock on the wall oven resets, it isn't backed up by the Powerwalls given it isn't a critical need and eats a lot of power. Apparently we had a power outage Monday afternoon while I was out shopping...

Hasn't passed here, been snowing since midnight. likely getting 10" by midnight. The worst part is it is 30°F, makes wet snow that clogs the blower.

Should be good one especially if it is the version with secondary burn of the wood gasses. That is what makes stoves very efficient and clean. I'm sure it can smoke when it is first started since you have to get the chamber up to high temp. Once there the wood isn't actually burning but getting...

Mine fear anything that is large and maybe flappy. Like feed or shavings bags when empty. Soon as the bag is put in the trash can, the chickens are fine. And you can't understand their non native dialect of English. I have a PulletShut auto door on the coop (converted horse stall). It is a...

I've heard you shouldn't take it until 15 minutes after eating either. But neither that or not sitting for 5 minutes before would account for @CapricornFarm's sudden high numbers. Hoping for a quick resolution Cap!!

How about a hippopotamus? That was Betty White's favorite Christmas song. I hope Zeus gets to that. He has no example to copy. He is 6 months old, does a LITTLE stutter step by a hen then tries to jump her. Only 1 of them is even laying now and she should stop soon. He doesn't treat the girls...

Probably about $5/pound. Yeah none of that stuff for us for a once in a year meal. Ours are pasture raised 3 miles from here. WAY better than injected Butterball or other massive turkey factory farm birds. Congratulations! Not an easy thing to do. Yep. I cleaned out the chicken coop (horse...

:thumbsup

I buy a local brand of chicken and alpaca feed - Poulin (though I saw a truck down in PA I think when we came back from DD1's wedding in VA). Now that I have a rooster I don't feed layer anymore. Poulin doesn't have an all flock so I'm feeding grower. It isn't called pellets but "crumblet", they...

Mine has gone up but not drastically. $10.30/50 pound bag with my old guy discount (no BOSS in my scratch grains). The 20 birds share a 5.5 oz cat food can of it every afternoon. In the morning they get the same amount of BOSS. BOSS is EXPENSIVE!!!!! $28 for 40 pounds.

So is mine, I put the snow tires on my car yesterday. All that up and down is also hard on the knees. This was easy 20 years ago

They did that 17 years ago where my DDs went to school right when DD2 started middle school. She got on the 8 AM bus every school day for 13 years. And to make it even easier for her, the bus stop happened to be right in front of our house. The neighborhood kids stood in our driveway while they...

Both at the same time? Seems they would be fighting each other.

When I read your original post I was thinking "Aren't Marantz and Denon HIGH quality?" They used to be, now we know why they aren't anymore. The company will slowly go broke selling junk for big money Gotta ask, why no hood yet, after 2 years? Seems like even a cheap one that doesn't vent...
