Some are Amish and some are Mennonites around here.Mennonites dress similar,but are much more liberal about the use of electricity and cars and such.

They make up the rules as they go. Whatever.

Went to an Amish auction this year and was amazed at all the Amish made knick knacks up for auction. All made out of weathered barn boards. Yea . . . right.

Friend of mine pointed to the fence surrounding the property. Noticed it was a long, long, long fence, made of, ready for it?? Untreated, unpainted cheap pine boards. Gave a section of fence four years and it was ready for knick knack building. Looked just like weathered barn boards by then. Fella had a crew that would work their way around the fence line, cutting up weathered "barn boards" in front of 'em and nailing on fresh pine boards behind 'em.

Had a drinking buddy over in Glasgow named Hamish.

I bought a blue heeler from a Amish that was advertised on the internet.When we went to look @ the dog I had to call for directions and was surprised to find out that he was Amish and had phone and internet in his barn.

No, they don't. They use gas engines. Motors are electric.

That is some video. They are very creative and skillful people. I'm more familiar with other colony's but they also have those same minds.

They sell just about any wood working power tool you can think of in a pneumatic version. Table saws, planers, jointers, routers and the like. They cost about twice as much though. Around here, most Amish are allowed to use electric providing it is for business only.

I'm betting there's nothing in them at all. Hence the reason for going to Caseys.

They are amazing people. we have had a community around us for more that 30 years.
Now the bad part. if you hunt deer or turkey or any animal better set your sights a bit lower for big deer or less.
With sometimes 15 plus in a family and in Ohio 4 plus deer...If its brown its down policy, really hits your flock and heard.FACT mad

We don’t have the big deer you guys do but, it is the same here. They will kill everything and they don’t care about property laws or no trespassing signs. They are super helpful when it comes to trapping also, they make sure to check your traps for you and take your traps to get them new tags. mad

Ever put gas in a motorcycle or motorboat?

How about a "motorized vehicle"?
