poorly...but I have plans to improve it for next year

Teach years ago in Mother Earth News there was a self supporting hydroponic system. There was a big tank of fish and that water was circulated for the plants. Might be in their archives.

Fresh fish and veggies too.

Yes, it is too late to eat sugar. You will wake up in the middle of the night with sugar withdrawal tremors.

Here is the "how to" on the penny tire tread test - according to an article I found at eHow

Step 1
Hold the penny between your thumb and forefinger with the heads side facing you. Slide the penny between the tread grooves on a tire and turn it so that the top of Lincoln's head is touching the tire.

Step 2
Look closely at the penny. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, your treads are worn and your tires should be replaced soon.

Step 3
If any part of Lincoln's head is obscured by the tread, there's still a safe amount of tread left on your tires.

Actually, when I googled the "quarter test for checking tires" there were several articles that indicate the "penny test" may be outdated and unsafe. I haven't seen any commercials, but here is a 2009 article from WheelKraftNW


“Quarters are safer than pennies when it comes to checking your tires”, according to new tests conducted by Tire Rack, the country’s largest independent tire tester. With much of the winter driving season remaining and change of season ahead now is especially important for drivers to be aware of their tires condition.

For decades the tire industry had taught drivers to use the so-called Penny Test as a simple way to tell when tires were worn out. But experts at Tire Rack say that popular lesson is outdated, compromises safety, and should give way to the Quarter Test.

In the old Penny Test, seeing the top of Lincoln’s head while holding a penny upside sown in a tire tread grove indicated a tread depth of 2/32-inch (1.6mm) or less, and that the tire needed replacing (to learn how to properly get directions on this go to www.tirerack.com/treaddepth).

In driving tests, a late-model pickup truck on tires that passed the Penny Test, (legal in most states) averages 499.5 feet to stop from 70 miles per hour on wet pavement. That is equal to about 12.5 school buses or nearly a tenth of a mile.

The same vehicle riding on tires that passed Tire Rack’s proposed Quarter Test stopped almost 122 feet (24%) shorter. These tires had treads measuring 4/32-inch (3.2mm) deep, as measured from the edge of a quarter to the top of Washington’s Head. Not only were braking distances reduced, overall grip noticeably improved!

I am against hay violence. I don't think we should make light of this serious subject. There are bales being abused on a daily basis and we make jokes about it.

I would continue but I am fading...

I feel for your sacrifice and am thankful that we have brave folks like Doc to keep us safe. Y'all are in my prayers...get that hotdog dude a couple more chickens!
