Always handymen posting on Craigslist if that is an option for you.

When I was in Switzerland for an extended ski holiday, there was a butter advertised called zero calories.
A Czech friend joked about it. He said, "one bite and you lose weight, two bites and you disappear" - followed by uproarious laughter.
This is what I made for one pen.

Ladder type frame


1" welded wire.


Base rails a bit longer to rest on bottom rail of chain link.


Plant in things that will grow through depending on season like winter peas, foliage turnips like 7-top, alfalfa, oats, buckwheat, radish, flax, etc.. I keep seeding it through the season.


They can get some fresh greens each morning as they emerge above the wire but they can't kill them by scratching. I still have some space for dustbaths.
I have 2 favorite white landscapes. One warm, one cold. Mexico and Austria.

That said, I would have a problem with what's going on in Buffalo, NY right now.


Like other brassicas, it's a cold weather crop so that may be why local places don't carry it but I think it would be a great winter vegetable for you.

In a Paleo diet, fat is a good thing. Carbs are ok as long as they're from seasonal things like fruits and root crops rather than grains.

Butcher shops have become scarce here too. Grocery chains still employ a butcher but just till they're gone through attrition by meat cutter union agreement since everything comes packaged already.

I have to cut back on my primary source of carbs - beer.

My barley fodder last year. They like it when there's nothing else green afoot. Otherwise they prefer sprouts that just have a tail.





Speaking Spanish and vet/animal training would have you in high demand at many of the volunteer rescue/breeding/release wildlife sites in Latin America.
I can turn you on to some of them if you PM me.

Cheers,
I quote a lot but I try to delete most pictures and anything irrelevant.



When I use Firefox it automatically puts nested quotes in. When using IE, only the last quote comes up.


I started young, cooking the things I liked to eat. I believe the first thing I asked my mother to teach me was French Toast. I had to use a stool to see into the skillet but I was a French Toast eating son of a gun.

My wife ran the kitchen as though it was a restaurant and prepared whatever the kids asked for. It drove me crazy. I said, why don't we cook dinner and that's what everyone eats.

My daughter an I always squabbled. I finally told her, "You don't have to like me, but you do have to ACT like you like me."

It seems like every time I go to post in a thread, vehve has just posted there.

Someone has penedesenca eggs on Ebay for another day or so.

I use these.

So bad. I've shut down the incubator till I butcher a bunch of cockerels. Then I'll wait to see how winter progresses.

Many of those breeds are available from breeders here.

Might be a hassle to do double shipping though.

Have you considered crossing with some native stock to get local disease resistance?

I have a small stone walled room under my front porch I was cleaning and tuckpointing to make into a wine cellar complete with a water feature for humidity, hobbit hole style round wooden door, wall sconces and a tasting table.
I was collecting wines every time I had some extra funds. Occasionally, I would splurge on something extra special that was no where mature but much cheaper than it would be when ready. I would buy a case of one or several wines, mostly a couple years after production. Some would be ready in 5 years, others in 20. I had quite a stash and once it was complete, it would have been a great place.
Little did I know that my wife was randomly plucking bottles from the boxes. Rather than buy a "value" bottle for the day's consumption, she absconded with untold numbers of bottles way before their prime.
I once went to the cellar and saw one of the boxes open. I peered in to find only one bottle remaining from a vintage that was only 2 years old and shouldn't be consumed for 15 years to infinity that was $38 a bottle for the immature wine. When I confronted her about it, I asked her how it tasted. She said it was just so-so. I said, I guess not, it wasn't ready for decades.
I put police tape across the room with the sign stating - "These wines are NOT for casual drinking!!!"
I was livid and it really took the wind out of my sails for completing the wine cellar.
 
I used to work on that as ground crew back in the day of the ex AKA butthead. Also work on this one


the lady that owned them lived in Akron OH and had an office by Tampa-St Petersburg FL. I Her Dad was a Hot air balloonist. And so are her kids. It was a lot of fun and hard work at the same time.

She also had these
