Redneck Boot Repairs

Here on the farm, I just HATE to throw ANYTHING OUT until it has gave its full due.

Michelle calls it being a "CHEAPSKATE", I feel it is just thinking, "Outside the Box".

When my old work boots started to come apart at the sole, I just did the most logical thing I could think of.....screw it back together. Then to the bench grinder to grind off the end of the screws that came through and presto! Boots repaired.  

​She just looked at me and walked away!

Catching Photons

On the farm we use PVs (photo-voltaic cells) to power our "out buildings" since running power out to them would be too costly. As we go onto fall, the days are getting shorter and the sun angle is much lower in the sky.  If you look at the photo to the left you can see we are still in deep shade, PVs do not produce much power in such conditions.  Therefore, we have to plan and aim the cells to capture as much sunlight as possible. At this angle the cell will be in full sun later today and will then produce the most power possible.

​It is all about the Photons!

The Prodigal Duck

 If you have been reading this blog for a bit you know about Alice.

Our duck with an attitude!

Well this summer, she got it in her head that the pond was the place to stay and that is what she did. She would not come down from the pond, but slept at the water's edge each night. We were none too pleased with this arrangement. When we would go up to chase her down for the night she would just give us the middle feather and slip into the pond. This started to change as the season moved into fall and there was a nip in the night air. The idea of nice meal morning and night was appealing. So slowly she would come down for short visits and get a snack. It did not take her long to remember the good life back in the coop. She goes out with every one else but when darkness comes she is right there to come back home!
