This is the pic I said I would try to post today. View attachment 559741 I am 6'4" and 250 lbs so it is not a tiny mill. Wow first pic posted ever. Ed

Great pic Ed. Where does the dough go in and the noodles come out?

Lenny, place looks nice.

My wilson 3G/4G amp came. Need to try it out.

So much to do, and dont feel like doing any of it.

I have one that I purchased a while back that I was waiting till this move was over to install. We'll have to compare notes. Verizon is weak here but AT&T is strong.

Laid it out with antenna inside on a shelf pointed towards a tower, strung cables down hall to house antenna. Gained 10 db give or take.

Good evening all. 74F this morning, overcast, and light breeze. Wind picked up to moderate, brief showers and periods of drizzle, winds shifted from ENE to ESE, partial clearing after lunch, and high of 94F (forecast for 98F). Bike ride this morning, and nap after lunch. Kept waiting to get dragged over to stepdaughter's house to do something but didn't happen.
Lenny, I agree that is 1 nice place, hope your move went as smooth as Don's did.
Ed nice mill, should crank out a lot of sanity projects
Prayers for all.

I'm on the search for some WHITE sweet potatoes. They are called for in this July 4th recipe.

Farmers' Market Parfaits - Plant-Based Vegan Recipe

So far I am striking out. I did find some slips on Amazon but even with Drew growing them they won't be done in time.

Has anyone tried WHITE sweet potatoes and are they similar in taste to the orange sweet potatoes. I might have to make a substation but the red, orange and blue theme would only excite RS.

Wife and I had some awhile back. Pretty much by accident as we never had before. We don’t recall that they tasted same as the yellow ones but definitely sweeter than the usual whites. We liked them and would get again.

Plenty of sunshine this morning and a gentle breeze soon to follow. Forecast looks to have a high confidence of zero rain, so at the moment no panic about how long it will take before hay is ready to be baled.

Lenny, that's a really nice house and grounds you have. I'm sure you will have aquired a few wind turbine parts over the years, just set one of those up as a blower and the leaves will only be problem for those in the next country


Ed, you did it ! Hope that and the lathe bring you many years of sanity preserving fun.

good morning all. Leg cramps got me up early so off I go.
But first, the ending of my corn saga.

one ear of corn. That's what I got that was edible out of 3/4 of an acre of organic corn. Even with the Super A, I clearly did not manage this well, first time,
and the weeds took over.

but even if the weeds hadn't taken over, I had a problem. Starting off with ordering too many kinds of corn, which is a really bad idea due to cross pollination.
And I surely did make some mutts, attractive as the yellow and red corn is.

Now I bet your first guess would be that the red of the Indian corn moved over to the adjacent rows of yellow non gmo corn.
that's what I first thought, until I studied the husks and remembered that all those ears came off the first row, the Indian corn row.

So....guess what, the yellow corn was dominant here and messed up the Indian corn, not vice versa. One ear of "normal" Indian corn, so at least I know
what it was supposed to look like. Next two ears over are Glass Gem, which if they had ripened all the way, if they were going to, was supposed to look like little
gemstones, not yellow and grey corn. Oh well. Yellow corn was old but that one ear, well, I ate every kernel off it.

No bugs at all though on what I shucked. Lot of stink bug looking bugs in the fields now, plus the Japanese Beetles swarmed in a day ago and are chomping everything.
Sprayed yesterday, spraying again today. They just hate getting sprayed with that insecticide soap. Gives them a permanent wash job.

A grand experiment, not to be repeated for sure.

heat warning up again today

Good morning all, 66 going to 86 with am fog and a 30% chance of T-Storms. Hope to take it easy today. Got most of the shipping grease off of the mill yesterday, likely used half roll of paper towels. I am a blessed man, wife is as happy about the mill and lathe as I am, it was her idea that I get them. Think I'll keep her as long as I can.

Lenny, Pretty place and I would bet it will be a happy place. Good man to be doing what you are doing.

Thanks for the comments guys, Prayers for all in need, have a great day. Ed
