Fall on the Farm




Fall on the farm usually results in death for some of the tenants. That is me giving a turkey a bath prior to its date with the turkey plucker .
The optimum temperature we found for water was 140 degrees fahrenheit. Getting the temperature correct for their bath causes the feathers to fall out easily. Getting it wrong results in some tough plucking.
Mmmm..., hot turkey feather soup anyone?

Avalanche At Galore

During the first week of May 2007 I experienced seeing several avalanches including this one. Presently I am working on the Nova Gold Galore Creek project which is proving to be interesting and educational.

All Saints Day Pumpkin Catapult


In 2003 a friend thought it would be fun to launch our day old jack-o-lanterns across our field with home built catapults, trebuchets, and slingshots. A few people even elected to just throw their pumpkins by hand. My mother thought the event was silly and a waste of time. In the end she had at least as much fun as everyone else and realized that sometimes you need to do things for just kicks.

This is the first time I have created anything on a blog. Be patient I am just a simple cow raising carpenter with some crazy thoughts and ideas. I wonder how far one could travel in a compact car fitted with edam rounds as wheels.
