We received 80 broiler chicks in the mail this morning. One was dead. There’s no way for us to tell what happened, but he didn’t make it. That’s sad, but is the life of the chicken. Shortly after putting them in the brooder one of the chicks was what I’ll call “posturing.” This is …
Everything is changing right now. Grass is starting to grow. Trees are budding. Pears and Plums are blooming. The greenhouse is full of little two-leafed vegetable plants in seed starter. The brooder is full of chicks. 90 of them. I’m mighty busy making the most of the pleasant temperatures and just getting done what must …
In truth, the Cherokee nation is just a branch of the US department of the Interior or somesuch at this point. They have squandered something special. When the clock strikes twelve I may stage a coup and place myself as head Chief of the Cherokee and lead them myself. I will institute self sufficiency …
A few disjointed thoughts The petrodollar is dead. Long live the petrodollar. The dollar has been on the oil standard, roughly, since the 1970’s. That is damned near over. The Saudi’s are going to take yuan, which is also fiat trash, for oil. Reasons why the Saudis would take China’s cruddy fiat vs. the US’s …
Uncle Henry and Aunt Carol came by this morning. They were headed to pickup feed, then on to get their great grandson who is going to stay the week with them. They stopped in to see what we were up to, shoot the breeze, and check our progress. They always want to see progress. …

The Foxfire Books The David Gingery Books. “Build your own metal working shop from scrap” The Encylopedia of Country Living, …
Last summer we darned near got carried off by flies. It was like Ethiopia over here. Flies landing on my face, on my food, it was unbearable. We need birds. Lots of them. Taking a lesson from Greg Judy, who has probably close to 1,000 birdhouses on his farm, the wife and I started building …
Fuel here in town was $3.79/gal for the E85 stuff today. That’s the garbage that is watered down with corn. The real fuel was $4. Diesel was $4.89. I know that is cheaper than what most of the country pays, we refine, transport, and produce so much fuel, we get it from the tap. It …
The weirding is accelerating. Prices are going up. Fuel. Fertilizer. That means EVERYTHING is going up. Everyone I know that grows the stuff you eat says it’s going to get bad. Very bad. I reckon there will be price fixing. That won’t work. Then there’ll be food rationing. That’ll kinda work. It’s going to get …
