Season 5, Episode #32~ All Hail Capuchin Mechanic!
Acorn did it at last! The Massey Ferguson tractor is running again! The last trick was discovering the micro inline gas filter that was hidden in the 90-degree connection from fuel line to carburetor. Voila! Farm finally got some rain after more than 3 weeks without- guess this means the grass will need mowing inContinue reading “Season 5, Episode #32~ All Hail Capuchin Mechanic!”
Season 5, Episode #31~ “Sleeping In…”
Blind Hog and Acorn forgot to record the podcast yesterday, remembering once they got in bed for the night. Pffff… It happens. Busy week with garage door seal strip repairs, purchasing Savanna goat kids from friends, and visiting another friend at her yard sale. ALL the socializing… Fingers crossed rain arrives tonight and tomorrow- thingsContinue reading “Season 5, Episode #31~ “Sleeping In…””
Season 5, Episode #30~ Unexpected Trip and a Tree Comes Down…
Acorn had to fly the coop last week when her Momma went to hospital. Was scary for a bit, but the Queen Mum is a fighter. Expected full recovery! Acorn got back in time to watch a huge double-trunked walnut be removed from the yard of the Springfield house- tree trunks were separating and itContinue reading “Season 5, Episode #30~ Unexpected Trip and a Tree Comes Down…”
Season 5, Episode Nope…
Sorry folks! Acorn had to leave the farm so the podcast is delayed. Blind Hog and Acorn should be back next week- Same Bat Time, Same Bat Station…
Season 5, Episode #29~ Chicken Yard (almost) Completed
Yup- the new and improved chicken yard is up, complete with chicken wire reinforcement and electric strings on the top. Soon, a single run of electric will be run on the lower outside to further deter climbing varmints. The pounding of t-posts was a breeze and stringing the fence relatively easy. You would think theyContinue reading “Season 5, Episode #29~ Chicken Yard (almost) Completed”
Season 5, Episode #28~ Fox at the Hen house!!!
Phew! Talk about sweatin! Blind Hog and Acorn got a new project put to the top of the list- seems a vixen has been responsible, at least partially, in the decreasing number of laying hens. A new chicken yard is to be erected and while they are at it, the gate posts at the topContinue reading “Season 5, Episode #28~ Fox at the Hen house!!!”
Season 5, Episode #27~ Acorn Almost Falls Out…
Busy week at the farm… Acorn fighting deer, Blind Hog on the mower… Both farmers dealing with “natural selection” when it comes to goat kids. Sam killt a groundhog and made himself very happy. A 13 pounder! Blind Hog was able to retrieve “the body” before Sam tucked in. That dog will eviscerate a groundhogContinue reading “Season 5, Episode #27~ Acorn Almost Falls Out…”
Season 5, Episode #26~ 2024 is Half-Done…
Blind Hog and Acorn have been hot hot hot- working a bit outside them coming back in. Sam decided that he likes being an indoor dog, well- unless he is hungry and wants a baby bunny… ugh. Garden is starting to produce the produce. Irrigation lines running well. Plenty of grass for the goats andContinue reading “Season 5, Episode #26~ 2024 is Half-Done…”
Season 5, Episode #25~ Blueberry Pickin’ Time…
Blind Hog and Acorn welcomed Midsommar by picking blueberries at a local farm. 90 min for the two of them to fill their buckets, 13 lbs total. Not bad for $30. Beef is what has been for lunch… NY strips and an arm roast. All delicious. Thank you, Calpurnia and Mr Tasty! Garden is almostContinue reading “Season 5, Episode #25~ Blueberry Pickin’ Time…”
