Season 6, Episode #25~ Summer is Here!
Between fence repairs, Sam’s misadventures (killing a cat and then a few days later getting stung and swelling up), working in the hot/humid weather, the farmers decided to get a new small tractor and will sell Miss Massey. A small tractor WITH front end loader is most clever and no doubt will work just fineContinue reading “Season 6, Episode #25~ Summer is Here!”
Season 6, Episode #24~ #NoKingsDay…
After a fun filled week on the farm, nothing says “let’s take it easy” better than attending a “No Kings” protest in a strongly Republican town. Blind Hog and Acorn were flipped the bird several times, several pro-Trump drivers kept coming back, honking their horns, letting loose with air horns. Not sure if they knewContinue reading “Season 6, Episode #24~ #NoKingsDay…”

Season 6, Episode #19~ More Funs Up on the Roof…
Acorn was complaining about lagging internet speeds and dropped cell signal, so she and Blind Hog raided up the cell phone amplifier antenna higher on the roof- moving it to the peak as well as puttin git on a 10′ mast. Already speeds have increased from -114 dB to -102 dB and sometimes even faster! Continue reading “Season 6, Episode #19~ More Funs Up on the Roof…”
