The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Yep it was advertised for duct work. Did you use to do duct work?

Nope though the metal tape is what the guys used here. And Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers (Car Talk) did a non scientific study using various types of tape on ducts. Cloth duct tape fared quite poorly and was the only one they tried that one would usually expect to work on ducts.

For what its worth I took a day after that and was pretty calm at the bank. And And I was firm and adamant about how the bank account should be handled.

A first for me going in from a position of strenght not fear was an eye opener for me.

and I am just dd - drumstick diva

And telling yourself that "It won't hurt THAT much tomorrow."

So true, and with selective (or poor) memory, you can do it again and again and again.

But if I were to use pigs to clear land that might be a good idea. unfortunately I can't use electric wire for a fence bc my free range chickens forage in the woods and I want them to have access to the woods.

Any chicken can fly over a hotwire meant for pigs. Most can fly to the top of a 4' fence with relative ease.

Looks good to me! Thanks! I love getting my hands on stuff to. What ever I can do myself I do it. I would be in that woods with a chan saw all day. I cleared a path around the woods that I plan on fencing in. It's probably about 3acres of land. As for pigs I don't eat pork the bible says it's unclean.

I love the back round sound in that video. I can tell by the birds it's ether late summer or early spring

YOu can offer to pasture some pigs for someone else...

Also ... Pigs are smart and cute and when kept in a pasture they stay pretty clean... smell less. I like the fact that they root in the ground and aid in getting the roots out. Plus aeriate the soil
Are you allowed to toutch pigs? If not i would pass.

Goats are a great choice or Hair sheep. Goats browse on leaves and Sheep Graze on grasses. Goats will go up a tree as high as they can reach as well.

I cant do pigs myself because I fall in love with them, and I also know how smart they are. At least for butchering and eating... I am the same with Goats the little Reprobates.... LOL. Oh I have stories of the stuff they get into... If I got them again they would do perimeter brush detail. Because of the risk of fire we are required to clear brush out 100 feet from the house. I am good on two sides but the other two are full of Chaparal and Cholla. and in wet years mustard....

Which reminds me when i move up there is going to be a huge crop of mustard growing up there. If you get it young you can Clean it and fry it up with a salty meat... Oh yum... I fry it up with Fat back but thats pork.

Toss in a little vinegar and butter to cut through the bitterness of the wild greens... Maks an excellent side dish or even a main dish If you put some Red meat in it. It might be awesome with lamb lots of garlic and rosemary....

Oh my I am getting hungry

Glad to hear you're feeling better! I start therapy today if I can get there. The wind has been howling all night and the snow is everywhere. Sure would hate to get stuck out here in the sticks, especially with DH out of town.

No, I wouldn't either. I'd be afraid to leave in case I couldn't get home too. Is the weather supposed to clear at all today? Be careful if you go
