Insane!!!!



A bear tore open a bunch of my coops... ate over half my poultry. I blame all the Californians moving up here. ALOT OF THEM. Idiots making "friends" with all wildlife. Whatever, we are now eating bear -

'Al' cook it well. There was just an article on Yahoo about a family that got Trichinosis from eating under cooked bear meat.

Not sure when I last updated this thread....

Kid 2 is getting married end of summer.

The woman is a fantastic match for my son. I actually think that they will be happily married.

Whatever, we are now eating bear... and I have made a HUGE poultry order to restock. A little nutty on my part... I waffled between eh, downsize to almost nothing, whatever, kids are growing up and *I* like poultry, I should take it back over and it will help force me to be more active.

Clearly, I went with lots of poultry.

And then Saturday night Kid 4 was in the emergency room for 5 or 6 hours. He NEVER drinks enough... and then he got a barfing flue thing... and it almost killed him. Well... it was horrible enough I think he will now drink more.

As for me... HUGE panic/horror with my eye... blood bubble under the retina of my right eye ... but I have been going in for shots directly into my eye, once a month.. nasty... but they are helping. So, huge relief with that.


I really want an underground greenhouse... to help extend my season a bit more.... but this year the kids are fixing up all my outside infrastructure. So, underground greenhouse might be next year. The kids (mostly Kid 2) is redoing my fences, cleaning up and fixing the coops. Bear damage but also age, especially the fences.

Wow, you have a lot going on! Maybe installing electric fence would be a good plan. I am sure there are other bears out there!

Goodnight Old Folks. It's been a crazy day.

Crazy day here but still on the go did allot of digging of thistle pulling morning glory I hate it.

I was going to focus on eliminating Canada Thistle and morning glory this year, but it looks like other weeds will take precedence. Specifically weeds that have thorns which require heavy gloves.

Ya I have several bamboo glove I swear buy just love them.
Buy them off Amazon.
