And I couldn't get the link you provided for the newbies' indoctrination (brainwashing?) to work. Or was it some kind of test to determine their eligibility for this most elite of threads? Perhaps an initiation rite...there will be a test this afternoon. Seriously....post #, maybe?? |

Will have to send some PIC's someday. After I sold mine Scott and I went riding on his bike ....me driving..and him riding "itch" ........had to go through Skyway toll plaza and a bunch of other bikers rolled up beside us. They laughed at Scott .....and said to one of the buddies ......"She's driving because his feet probably can't touch the ground" .......since then he has refused to ever ride on the back again. Shoot .....I was just practicing towing someone and they ruined it for me!!! Azz's everywhere! |

When I was quite small and we visited my grandfather's farm, I remember distinctly thinking that the milk tasted like a cow's breath smells. Comments? ![]() As to the milk tasting like the cow's breath, it shouldn't. Sometimes a cow will go into a negative energy balance (ketosis) and her breath will start smelling a bit sharp, and the milk smells pretty much the same. She's having a low-sugar episode with ketosis and feeding her high carbs and sugar will usually pull her out of it unless it's gone on for a day or three, in which case she would be very sick and need emergency care. My first cow, Bandit, had a ketotic episode once and I didn't recognize it (my first time with it), so it went on longer than it should have and I almost lost her. Luckily, my neighbor happened to suggest maybe she didn't like that new hay we'd gotten and was on a hunger strike, so he donated some bales of alfalfa to us and I gave her a couple of B-complex shots to get her appetite going, and she pulled out of it. I had to feed her a corn mix for about a month, though, to get the weight back on her, and I don't usually feed corn, but it was a matter of life and death, so I did. Quote:

He's athletic, though, that's for sure. Nice short back and strong legs and chest. I wish I could take videos, you should see him when he starts jumping around and farting, just to amuse himself. There doesn't even have to BE a scary bag monster in the pasture! ROFL! He's hysterical, and I just love watching him. Sometimes he comes flying into the corral from the pasture and it's muddy or snowy/icy and my heart stops, expecting him to slide right into the fence, but he always times his slides so he stops just inches away, then prances (that passage thing that dressage horses do?) away like he's the King of the World. And I guess he is, in his own mind. ![]() ![]() In other news, it's 3 below zero this morning, and the breeze is making the wind chill 20 below. I am NOT looking forward to chores. That's snot-freezing temps! But gotta go get those critters some hay to eat so they can keep their furnaces going and keep warm. I'm glad I'm not milking right now, this is one of those days that make milking a miserable chore for me. It's probably not so nice for the cows, either, because I use a belly milker and the rubber inflations that go on their teats are freeeeezing by the time I get everything out there and set up, and clean up the cows. People always say they can't understand why I want my cows to calve in the fall, rather than in the spring, when there's all that nice pasture to make good milk to raise a calf on. Well, THIS is why. In the winter, when it's this cold, I can let the calf do the milking chores for me, then by spring, when all that nice grass comes up, the calf is ready to wean and *I* get all that luscious wonderful grass-fed cream for MY OWN SELF. Yes, this is why I have cows! As always, the above is just my personal opinion, based on my personal experiences. ![]() |

But you have to figure that each generation probably loses at least 95% of all the family stories that get told by the last generation (though they do add their own)....it's sad what gets lost forever. My mom's side has a few stories too, but she wasn't nearly the story teller that my dad was. I do have an old family bible from my great grandmother, a piece of her furniture, and some house stuff of hers, from my mom's side (she was born in the 1860's--my great grandma, I mean.) I was named after her (and she was named after her father's FIRST wife, who died young; her mom was his second wife--I always wondered about that one. But I guess they probably all knew each other in a small community), so that makes them special (even though the piece of furniture is...well...not exactly gorgeous. But obviously handmade by someone. I think they had the marble top shipped in. It used to have an oval mirror with an ornate surround, but that didn't survive when my parent's house burned.) ![]() My sister though, like I said, is the family historian. She remembers EVERYTHING (even all of those embarrassing stories about me from our childhood) But sometimes that trait comes in handy. ![]() |

His mom was very ill the whole time he was growing up (sleepy sickness) so he was farmed out to relatives a lot of the time. I was never actually in the old house. The country store was another matter. We used to walk down to it for our candy and soda needs when we were visiting. And there's no farmland attached to this sale--the land my uncle got was from the other branch of the family, I think, and the old home had gone through other hands many years ago. Anyway, gosh it's almost tempting. But with all of our computer needs, and it appears, only one old bathroom and an old kitchen, I don't know...... https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/7...94473802_zpid/ The house built in 1905, I see. The bathroom was likely added on a bit later because I know my dad pretty much grew up with an outhouse. That house is awesome. It would be right up Mister's alley. |
