    Do you remember it being colder

    Blackbirds showed up in the yard yesterday. Today I got the pellet guns out of storage, and I will keep my whole area clear of Maggie's and blackbirds as best I can. I have spent a lot of time and effort on my fruit trees and berry bushes, and I'm determined to get a decent harvest this year...

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    Couldn't agree more. Household economy and basic home and auto repair. Bummer that kids come out of 17 years of school and don't know basic fundamental skills they need to live as an adult. Two generations of that, and it becomes a part of the culture. I can't understand how they turned...

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    It's politics. Some slimy politicians figure out how to spend the money, then the money's gone. Then you wait til the other party is in power and start complaining about how there's no money left, and it's the other guy's fault. Then you print more money, give it away, and take credit for...

    Wisconsin CWD?

    Older deer are more likely to be infected. If you shoot a couple fawns instead of a mature deer, you're less likely to have wasted time processing infected meat. These days I try for a head shot on young deer when rifle hunting. Less mess, less loss, and smaller deer are easier to handle and...

    Where do you live? It would have worked fine if it were structured like a normal retirement fund instead of a pyramid scheme.

    Can't have nothing

    I'm working on it. I'm a bit late to the game, and some of the older ones must be over 30 feet tall. They grow with much better form than Bradfords. I'm killing off all the mature ones I find that I can't graft. The biggest one I poisoned was about 12" in diameter and required multiple doses...

    Forward facing sonar - fishing tech

    I checked the website, and it's two different units. The Livescope gives detail and is meant for freshwateror shallow salt water. Panoptix covers a lot more range and is meant for deeper salt water applications.

    Hazelnut Planting Tips

    I've seen something similar with red deer. They prefer grasses over browse. Apparently their digestive system is geared more toward grazing than browsing. They'll eat certain trees, shrubs, and forbs, but mostly they prefer.grasses. I have seen very little browse on hazel here. I've had to...

    Hazelnut Planting Tips

    That's weird. Take 10 or so, put them in damp sphagnum moss in a baggie.and set it in your garage. Maybe the slowly increasing temperatures will trigger something in them to wake up.

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    It's a great investment plan for most people. Dollar cost averaging from a young age is a solid way to build your nest egg in the most reliable low-risk way. Picking stocks can require a lot of time researching, and a lot of people just don't have time for that. The last stock I went big on...

    Forward facing sonar - fishing tech

    I quit using sonar when fishing in less than 30 ft of water. In the sunner, when I switch to fishing lake trout and walleye, I use a Lowrance to spot arches at the depth I'm targeting. Simple, fun, and we catch a lot of fish. I don't think a Livescope or GPS would be fun unless I was on a...

    Forward facing sonar - fishing tech

    That's a real bummer. It tends to be the ones with no real connection to the place that don't feel bad about taking advantage.

    Can't have nothing

    Would be nice if the Callery pear flowers got smoked this year. Quite a battle getting them under control.

    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    I worked in radiation safety for a while, and we had to sign on on continuous learning from the NRC to keep our job. I am also a huge proponent on nuclear energy. France's breeder reactors are a miracle in engineering. Now they are talking about building out their nuclear deterrent with the...

    Red Osier Dogwood

    I have a pile of cardboard that gets me in trouble, but every Spring it goes out around trees and shrubs that need it, with sawdust and wood chips on top.
