When I was a kid there was a bunch of 160 to 500 acre dairy farms, some larger 1,000 acre farms. Most milked between 30 and 200 cows. It's gotten to the point now that one large farm employing a bunch of Mexicans milks 20,000+ cows and has to rent or buy every acre that comes up for sale in a 30 mile radius.
The opportunities to farm were swallowed up by pencil pushers employing illegals. Now we have Mexicans living in trailers instead of a bunch of small family farms and we all wonder why "kids don't want to work anymore", kids ain't learning how to work because they don't have farms to work on, mowing the lawn and taking out the trash ain't cutting it for the next generation.
… you’re wasting your time … she’ll just say they should start their own company or something lol LOL Savell, you obviously didn't listen to anything I said. I told you I was not a fan of importing menial laborers just because they work cheaper. I saw the same thing happen in western NY decades before it happened in donner's neck of the woods. But I am still confused on how people were able to work their way up to OWNING the farm.....

Lower back is a little stiff, I can usually get it to limber up by mid morning though. One thing I have noticed though is during the summer while commercial fishing, my back never gives me problems. I've wondered if jumping around doing stuff on the boat all day is what makes it better. BTW, 68 y.o..

It doesn't seem to happen much around here.......yet anyways. Some get the steel out, then quit after the first week. Too much work.....lol. But, it can work out good for me. For the lazy ones who just want to trap but not do anything else, ole Shakey will give them about half of what he thinks he'll get at auction. I'll tell them exactly what I'm doing with their animals too. "Do it yourself & possibly double your $......or let me roll the dice.
And I would sell you everything and be happy if you make a great profit. And I would be glad something was heting done with them I trap to keep the predators in check and healthy. Its not been worth my time to learn how to get fast at puting up fur with my work schedule, family and farm demands on my time. Used to skin them all but the freezer full of furs never got sold and thrown out . Eventually I stopped taking the time to skin tham at all. . Fur put up is part of trapping and some day I hope to get good at it and tanning and sewing as well but I dont know when that will ever be.

Just another city person geting worked up about something they know nothing about. Outrage and being offended is in style. Geting education and asking questions is to difficult a task for them

I feed it the last few days when my daughter was at work. Its in a small cage in her room along with a bunch of snakes in racks, fish and frog enclosures. Her room looks like a zoo with zoo quality displays she builds. She has been consumed with the new puppy and some dental work so I dont know how much attention bird has gotten . Im know she gets it out and fools with it but I have not asked about progress.
When I feed it I feed it out of my hand and it will hop on my hand but is still a little nervous when I pet it. I think its good with my daughter petting it. It's singing its natural song so far not speaking beyond that as far as I know.
Sur wont surprised me if it starts imitation of a puppy as much as the pup barks in there. The bird likes the German shepherd but the puppy not so much. Smart bird with self preservation instinct.
When I get back home or maybe in the morning I txt her and aske her if there is any progress beyond what I have stated.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I hope he makes a full recovery. Stress is only one factor in strokes and heart attacks.
Heart issues run bad in my family and I've been to the Dr. more in the last 3 weeks than I normally go in a year. They think they've finally got me on a BP medicine that's gonna work without too bad of side effects. Guess having readings that are 150 plus over 100 plus pretty often aren't good. I got kicked out of 2 blood drives in the last few months because of it. I started taking it at home then and it was too high most of the time so I figured it was time to go see a Dr. about it.

It was a good convention. I just got home and unloaded and am exhausted. Helped with breaking stuff down this evening and will stop by in the morning to see if there’s anything else that needs done. Then on to Walla Walla to help my mom with a couple projects and pick up my wife. She’s been staying with mom while I attended the convention. Lots of really good demos.
It was great to catch up with folks. The ITA has some real fine people.

I paid right at 100 for the drill battery and charger seems good quality you cant beat the warranty, I ran 5 or six holes with it real quick it has impressive torque. I have time to test it real good if it works out ill buy a second back up before fall, if not ill use its replacement around the house and get a milwaukee.

Coproban chews will do the trick. I just have a bad taste in my mouth (pardon the pun) with Hills. A lot of their prescription diets don’t do what they claim, we have seen. And their communications and shipping times are ridiculous when clients animals are dependent on these foods. There are so many boutique shoppe pet foods out now it’ll make your head spin. I’ve always been a fan of Purina ONE. Readily available and my dogs thrived on it for years.
I now would choose Acana, that is what I feed my cats If I got a dog that’s what I’d probably go to A can a' what... Sorry had to say it

There is a great book about an annual high school canoe trip. I think it was in Canada. A student gets mauled by a grizzly. I think he dies of an infection. Read it about four years ago but can't recall the title of the book.
Just found it. The Twenty-Ninth Day: A Grizzly Attack in the Canadian Tundra
