Roger that Bobby - I'm right there with ya. I remember when I was going to college in the evenings in an English literature class we had to talk about the last book we read. Everyone was talking about some novel they had to read for their last English class but when they got to me I talked about a Briggs and Stratton small engine repair manual. The teacher asked what I read before that and it was Nancy Bubel's book "Saving Seeds." When I said that she went to the next person. I think I might've read a dozen novels in my life and they were all required for school. Even when I was in the USMC on ship I'd read math books and books on electronics. How-To books are my mainstay too - very much more interesting. I need to learn to let go of them though because I have them all in my house and garage. It's tough to give them up though because I'm always referring back to them for one thing or another. That's why when I get the woodworking furniture shop back up ad running the first thing I'm going to build are two large book cases that go all the way up to the ceiling.Thanks, ejcrist...
I went to the first link you suggested and they were offering three garlic books for a packaged deal, so went ahead and ordered them. I forgot that I still had an Amazon account with all my info, so they should be here by next Friday. It should make for some interesting reading (at least for me). Technical, most times boring, stuff intrigues me, not the fluffy stuff but wanna get into the "guts" of the matter. Give me a service/repair manual over a novel any day, always curious about how things work.
Knowledge is Power, and all the technical reading and materials helped me repair old electronics like these at minimal cost. Parts are cheap, for the most part. The labor is the biggest investment. --BB
I just love this older stuff and it brings back a lot of memories,
8-tracks and all...LOL!
He seems to do his emailing Saturday night and Sunday, so you'll probably hear from him soon. I know he goes to Safford on Saturdays midday, I think he has a mobile vet clinic or something, not sure. All I've heard about the difference in Svart Hona's and Ayam Cemani's is the the Hona's are supposedly more heat tolerant. You might want to ask him what he thinks about that. If you do get some from him, let me know and we can compare notes on hatching and bird quality.
