Thought of this again. Neighbor farmer(s) - two different ones have had health problems. Thankfully not catastrophic, but literally no one to fill the gap. No “sick days” in that line of business…. Somebody still has to milk, bale, clean the barn, etc. The Mrs. offered my services, but I...

I have a friend with a 3.0 liter diesel Chevy truck. Other day he decided he’s going to park it unless needed. He has a couple other options until snow flies.

Oh man, John….I’ve been craving wings a little. Now I’m craving wings a lot!!! Have family visiting next week for a couple days…..will work some wings into the visit. I’ve just been grilling and topping with my homemade sauce (in the freezer), so easy peasy.

A roasted chicken breast filet with some tomato, pepper, onion, garlic and provolone. Lots of fresh basil and oregano from the garden. Grilled some zucchini and leeks as well. Really tasty. Haven’t done them in years.

I’m not that deep, but haven’t changed the belt on my 14 year old BX mower deck. I grease regularly (reminds me I’m probably due….). Take deck off each fall to install snowblower. Belt seems fine each year. Now I’m going to jinx myself…😳

I’m not Italian by any stretch, but Italian by marriage….. Also cooked a lot of it commercially. Guess this weekend’s theme is using some of the basil from our garden. Yesterday: Top is @TheOldHokie ‘s favorite with sausage, peppers, onions, etc. Bottom is fresh tomato with garlic, garlic...

The old saying goes “don’t leave your car doors unlocked during zucchini season……” Pasta primavera with some roasted chicken pieces from the grill…… Pasta primavera is what YOU like. Really, it’s just cooked pasta tossed with some veggies and cheese. This will be just fresh veggies...

Oh my -- I can almost smell that......😋

Summer supper outside.

Just heard that speech again. Coincidentally, earlier today I searched my own name and my Grandfather’s Obituary appeared. He literally could have been the “poster child” for that speech. My father was dedicated but not to the extent that my grandfather was I’m named after my...

skeets - my area is a lot of dairy. many have folded up just like my family did years ago. A lot of it is government regulation, but in the dairy industry milk pricing is really an oddity. From my understanding, the Secretary of Agriculture could in fact fix some of the Farmers’ problems with...

I was born and raised on a small dairy farm. Many generations of lineage. Family sold the cows when I was a young man. Property sold several years later. None of that 550 acres is in production agriculture anymore... Several years ago, I posted here that I had heard the "So God Made a...

Been a few weeks since you sent this, but I went propane-only decades ago. No right-or-wrong, just what we are accustomed to..... How do you like the Weber now? My biggest complaint with mine is that is doesn't have infinite controls. I like to be able to feather burners down without a...

Bruschetta grilled chicken over some zoodles. Pasta salad too

We’re about $5.50 in upstate New York. Gasoline is about $4.00.
