Granny's gone and done it again

Have a tenative appointment for the 2 heifers for health check and vet cert for the 24. NOW if the "lady" can just mail the fricking deposit check instead of trying to convince me to set up some sort of on-line payment acceptance thing.

If I knew how to do that the ring I showed would be on its way here.

Water glassing is a way to preserve whole eggs for long-term storage using water and pickling lime. I only had eight fresh, clean unwashed eggs to start with today. You use 2 Tbsp (one oz.) lime per qt of water. I used rainwater from last week's storm. And put them in a 2-gallon crock, and covered them with a plate. Put them on a shelf in the basement. They're supposed to be good for about a year, but I just eant eggs this winter.

Cherry, salt won't work. Has to be lime, and the right kind. And you have to wear gloves and be careful!

definitely something over your mouth and nose as well as lime can create a "fog/haze" and burns and makes you cough like you smoked a CHEAP cigar.

I've read from several people that Wyandotte's are very tasty.


You got some 'spaining to do!

YES they are and easy to pluck. I was impressed. MUCH better then a "normal" cornish NOT the mutant cornish cross.

Are you near me?

About 2 hours away. @cherrynberry and I were just talking about how the sky looked abnormal today.

Well I did "check her out" and unless she hacked another member's account she is legit.
