I’ve mentioned many times in the past that I hate debt, credit cards, bank debt, whatever. And so I’m practicing what I’m preaching, we have no debt what so ever. Don’t even have a credit card. And will not get one no matter how convenient it is touted up to be. Internet shopping, bah, humbug! [...]
After this week I can probobly screw my head on straight again. Very busy working at the neighbors harvesting, helping him bring in his corn crop. By worldly standards it’s small potatoes, but we aren’t set up like the large farmers and never intend to be. It’s satisfying when the harvest is in. Only one [...]
Don’t know if it’s just me or what, but I can’t stand eating pork from the store or resturaunt the last ten or fifteen years. This has got to be the classic example of taking one of the best foods on earth and making it into something a few grades below dog food. I remember [...]
Every week it gets a little cooler here, today was nice and cool with the air so fresh it was unbelievable. Spent the day getting ready to help neighbor Pete, combine his corn, and when everything was ready for tommorrow I went out in the woods alone and cut firewood for my parents wood furnace. [...]
Saturday evening has almost become a traditional time for me to get a blog typed out being the end of the week and all that. I try to get it out in the time it takes to have one cup of hot tea sitting here at the computer. Sometimes it takes a little longer but [...]

Today I added two new links on this blog, doing so because of the good discussion about the hazards of GMO crops and food over at Tennessee Farm Girl’s blog. Being that I “still” do not know how to make quick links on my posts you’ll have to look to the left on the sidebar [...]
It sure has been calm around here lately, weather is beautiful but changing as I type, a cool front charging down from the north country. Work is proceeding along at a rapid pace, alot to go, but nothing that can’t be handled at this point. The last of the cows were hauled home today so [...]
The day is coming to a close here, the calf working today went smooth, done in record time per head so I can’t complain about that at all. Labor payed out came out to a dollar and ten cents a head, darn good! It was sunny and nice so conditions were dry, not like some [...]
We’re getting ready for working cattle tommorrow, everything is set as far as I know, but when the rubber hits the road tommorrow morning I’ll find that I forgot a few important things, that’s par for the course. Hopefully it’ll go off without any problems. The weather forcast looks good for one thing, and the [...]
