    Utah!

    I grew up in Utah and lived there for 50 years. I went on a business trip to Massachusetts and after 2 weeks here I realized they'd legalized adulthood here and told myself I wasn't ever going home. And I didn't.

    Protecting a larger flock from coyote packs

    Coyotes don't like pain. They're really quite sensitive. I have a pellet gun that's pretty nasty. I never shoot to kill. I just don't want them in my yard. I shoot flat target rounds. They must sting really bad because after popping a few in the fanny they're pretty scarce in the yard. I see...

    Boxer dog thread!

    I have a 1 year old Boxer..Libby..She's my 3rd. If you want a dog that will make you laugh out loud every day, every single day add a Boxer to you family.

    Another Solar Power Thread

    Thank you! My son is Master Electrician but hasn't dealt with Solar and tends to agree with everything I say. Practical knowledge is terrific.

    Another Solar Power Thread

    I bought the panel in a kit form on EBay for $107.00. All I need to add is a power converter but that can wait until fall. And a battery.

    Another Solar Power Thread

    First post and nice to be here, I'm about halfway through building my coop. When BYC lets me I'll start page showing the construction. I've ordered a 50 Watt Solar panel with controller. I can run both the red LED lights in the coop and the pop door with the controller. I'm going to add a...
