Take care!

Thanks for all the suggestions! Exactly what I needed!

Please Wendy, put that pistol in your back pocket next time. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Bang all the pots you want but have your last defense handy. Lastly, please practice with it. You have to be familiar with it before you need it. Good luck.

We got about 3/4 inch of rain. Loveland at 5200 ft. 36 deg right now. I'd prefer some snow as it soaks in better and in this area we don't need any more runoff. Just now starting to recover from the flood.

I did post in the Colorado forum and I've received several good ideas. Pardon my ignorance, but by 'redsox' do you mean RIR? Thanks!

Hi folks!! Another newbie here! Living in Northern Colorado just outside Loveland. My neighbor has a dozen chickens and every time he goes out of the area I get to take care of them and gather eggs in return. So we have decided to get a coop and start with half a dozen chickens using the 3-4...

Hi folks!! Another newbie here! I am scrolling through the posts looking for useful info and I'm finding alot. Let me ask one question that I know has been asked many times but it is very important to someone starting out. I live west of Loveland in Larimer County. We have already had +100...
