calling any one from missouri

I added a PLC with a touch screen to a Bradley smoker to make an Uber Smoker but now I mainly use the Traeger Smoker for smoking. At one time I was making a lot of beef jerky but only make it from time to time now and use the Bradley smoker for that.

I found the Ardunio a bit flaky with programs and prefer the Raspberry Pi and Python for chicken automation and some automation at the industrial park like capturing data from a PLC each time the data changes and log it to a file. I'm very good programming in Python...

Speaking of spoiled rotten Cinnamon Queen hens I finally finished the chicken stairs today to replace the kennel tray, milk crate, 6x6 and ramp that I temporarily installed about a year and a half ago so they could get in and out of the coop lol. The finish is Tried and True Varnish Oil so food safe and safe for skin contact, it's just the only safe finish you can get. Too bad you can't use it on stuff like the purple heart in the background as it changes the color.

What nice woodwork you do, JT!!!
My chickens’ steps are merely logs and Rubbermaid stools….and another door they have to jump up.

We had 5º this morning, and at 4 pm, it is 40º and melty out there. The road, which was a sheet of ice, is a muddy slushy mess.
It would be nice if this was the end of winter, but no, another system coming next Weds!

And areas of roads the Sun have not hit are slicker than snot on a doorknob.
