What if it Snows?

I grabbed this from my 85 year old neighbors place - cleaned it up and oiled it. I imagine that it was his father’s, and saw good use, judging by the wear marks on it.

But I never saw Tom use it. Hand tools were hung in the shed and rarely used.

As my chiropractor farmer friend says - “Blair , we live in the hydraulic age”.

 

Last load of corn in the bin, my harvest is officially complete. In other news, I broke my previous record of 30loads of corn cobs in 1 week, by hauling 36 loads this week. Were 2 trucks short, so 2 of us ran double shifts all week. My tail is dragging bad, but I’m only 2 batches of feed, and the milking of 74 cows away from the weekend. And, this storm is tracking long ways over us, I’d be lying to say I am not intensely pleased to have gotten harvest done this afternoon!!!

 

The cast iron is probably great for camp fire cooking, heat retention when energy resources are somewhat limited. But we have instant access to gas and electric, propane - so the cast iron can stay as a reserve.

I’ve been snooping and reading here about the dissatisfaction of restaurants, and I’m on the same page as the resident hoity toity food snobbery poster - you can do way better at home.

I haven’t travelled down the path much - but his ideas of high class bejeweled royal class herbs and spices make sense too. Why wait for Guy Fieri or someone else to blend and package a seasoning and sell it to you when you can DIY?

Anyway - 3 on the side - over and out. (Apart from short rib pictures)

 

Busy fella. It’s coming down and sweeping through in the SO W MO.

 

Looks likey it missed me

 

I wonder how many "Influencers" are working as this one did. Push, bully then revenge... Makes you just think, ":All greedy crap".

Well I went to State Park and drove back in the rain. I have put less than 200 miles on it, since I got it.

Yeah, a couple of barrel staves swishing along on deep soft snow. Sure beats cracking concrete straddling steel.
