    Steering wheel knobs?

    We got a bunch for work at Rural King about 30 years ago. I had a torn rotator about that long ago. Everything was great from the elbow down. To open a big valve you climb up on the line it’s on so you don’t have to lift your arm. It was the right shoulder and I am right handed. Carrying...

    What in the devil is the deal with egg and chicken prices these days?

    It’s a bird disease that chickens can catch. It’s not primarily a chicken disease. Eagles and hawks can catch it from any diseased bird.

    What in the devil is the deal with egg and chicken prices these days?

    My free range chickens and ducks are healthy, but the wrong bird flies into the yard or poops while flying over, I’ll probably have to kill them all.

    I've about had it

    Wow, I can’t even imagine! My parents were pretty great. I also get along well with my 3 kids who are roughly your age. I’d say come by and I would trade help with you, but SE Illinois is pretty far away for that. I have said a prayer for you, God has listened to and answered a lot of those for...

    Can't catch a break

    TC, I don’t know you or your husband, but I have prayed for you. You have also given me something to consider. Maybe I shouldn’t have a herd of cattle to stick my wife with. I’m healthy but probably a time bomb. Again God bless and heal your family

    What is the job worth?

    I know of one. They pay me mileage to drive to work and back, plus pay me my hourly wage while I drive.

    Pedicure

    I don’t want anyone messing with my feet. I’m not the type to get a pedicure, some guys are. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    I'm out

    I need something to do all the time. Bad part is I have so much to do that it’s hard to get away from home. Not sure what I would do without cows

    Interesting old documents

    Our house was supposedly built (first part) in 1884. It had set empty and unlocked for a few years. Everything was missing INCLUDING the kitchen sink. Copper pulled out of the walls. Roof was good. We stripped plaster, found rough sawn (hewn) studs of different sizes and wood species. Added...

    Where would you go?

    If you do that area go to Lambert’s in Foley. You will thank me. We haven’t been there for 20 years, but there was a place called Billy’s seafood where you could buy shrimp just off the trawler. Of course you would have to be in a place where you can cook. I said a prayer for you

    Trying to prepare for winter

    Whoever mentioned wearing a toboggan first I thought was confused. Sorry. I have only heard it mean a sled. Why do so many of you calve in the winter?

    Trying to prepare for winter

    Your SE Illinois is a ways from mine. NW corner of Crawford County has maybe a tenth inch of sleet and freezing rain combined. Snowed overnight and all day. About to quit according to radar, at 6pm. So much wind it’s hard to measure. I would say 8” to 12”. Cows weren’t thrilled with it...

    How much do retired people spend per year

    In 1938 if you had cattle you were in the country with no electricity, no TV, radio, AC, window fan. You had an ice box. Life expectancy was less. You pumped your water. If you were a young man chances are you would soon be fighting for your life. I’ll take today

    Calf Life

    I stay until mine sell. It’s amazing how much they can screw up in a 5 word description. It’s also amazing how often they call males without nuts bulls.

    Easter

    Friday dead, that’s one day. Saturday dead, that’s 2 days. Sunday dead, that’s 3 days. Sunday resurrected. The Bible does not say 3-24hour days.
