Good morning!!!!

Mornin Daugen,
If your looking for deer treats try brusselsprouts. Until fall as things die off they leave most of my stuff alone, not so with my Brussels they will,destroy the plants given a chance any time of the season,mIt's funny they have gotten into them in the the fall but still just go for the leaves and leave the sprouts alone.

good to know, thanks. Also good I don't like Brussel sprouts. Too many undercooked ones as a kid I guess...

Good morning.

28 going to a high of 36. Snow mixed with rain today with an inch already on the ground. Wind ESE 14 mph.

I am going to town about 10 A.M Get me some belly pork and other stuff.

I got a little re-arranging to do today in the portable shelter, after the town trip. Take the ride on mower off the trailer and throw the trailer outside for the winter. It is just too tight in there with the trailer and then try to put the Jeep in, too.

I got some firewood to move, too. I don't need my oil guy trying to climb over a pile of firewood to get to my tank.

Good morning all, 39 here this morning going to 58. 70% chance of showers tonight. Went to lowes yesterday and got some lumber for a warp rack for wife's loom. It will hold 360 spools of string that will just feed on to her loom as needed. Then I just need to make a feed that will hold the string tight but easy to advance. Back is a little better this morning but not great.

Randy, Still praying, it will get better and likely quicker than you think. Love you Brother.

Drew, run one wire knee high and make it hot. Then smear it with PB and they will leave your garden alone.

Have a great day. Ed

Poured first cup of coffee. 41ｰ with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 46ｰ with rain most of the day. No more doctor appointments for me until next spring. Got a good report from Endocrinologist. Do need to get teeth cleaned next week. Yesterdays projects started out OK. But for some reason one of the steer tires went flat on JD mower. Not a easy job replacing tube on a 6" rim. No real plans fro today. Maybe help wife clean house. La Crosse weather station is working good. But will not give me rain and wind on iPhone. Going to take it back and get another one today.
David, thanks for the greeting.
Eric, yellow snow. Is that a hydraulic leak on the tractor?
Good Morning All.

Ya know...I do have an extra 24 mile solar powered electric fence with a lot of extra fittings.
I electric fenced my rose garden this year and had the best roses ever.
Really can't blame the deer, I'm just laying out a smorgasbord for them...

so for the part not plastic deer fenced, I could run a zapper line around knee high. Good idea.
Those things can give you quite a jolt.

I've been told the local Master Gardeners club is going to visit me.
That should be fun. I have their guide, super helpful, they have a booth at the Sat morning farmer's market.
I'll let them go test my soil all over the place.
I wonder if they'll come and help weed...

Good morning! A balmy 71˚ before sunrise and very windy from the South. An equally forceful wind will come from the opposites direction at noon holding the temperature to 80˚ today and we should drop to the forties by Sunday morning.

We will celebrate Thanksgiving today with Mom. Maybe knock out a few project out at her house since my brother and nephew will be down. The cinnamon and dinner rolls turn out good but I think I had the bread dough a little dry. The new 590 watt stand mixer was getting warm and starting to smoke as it was kneading the hard dough. You defiantly cannot go past speed 2 while kneading as the warning states on the dough hooks. I was having thoughts of Randy's fires. Next time I'll leave out the last 1/2 cup of flour and add a little at a time to get the consistency just right. I did get a good rise in the oven on the "Bread Proof" setting (100˚F) but I noticed in Jill's youtube her rise was better and her oven's "Proof" temperature was 85˚F.

I have been to a few farmer's markets and found prices to be higher than in the produce section at HEB grocery store. They seem to want to sell things by the little basket so they don't have to sell by the pound and comparison is hard till you weight at home. My best find at a farmer's market was Sour Dough Bread, it almost tasted like a dill pickle. He had a good starter.

Don, I'd get a new mixer. It should never smoke. Internal overheat circuits should turn it off first. Smoke means something got cooked in there.
Under warranty, I'd get another one. I love mine and use it regularly for brownies and cakes but not for bread so far. Bread machine works so well, but with the
negativity towards carbs, haven't made bread in a long time. Maybe I need to make a different bread...

Agreed. No bargains at all, just usually fresher than store. Tomatoes always seem overripe to me...great if you are going home
to make sauce from scratch, but won't keep.
I honestly trust the stuff marked Organic in the store more than the local farmers. One reason to have your own big garden, you know what you are eating.
We are what we eat...I've eaten my way into pre-diabetes and now I have to eat my way out of it. Lots of veggies should help.
