    I'd like to skip to the "already moved in and adjusted and settled in" part. Upheaval is over-rated. But hey, the company will move the normal household stuff if he goes to DC. That makes things easier.

    Anyone who knows ear tags, please help!!

    Have you considered getting a premise Id from your state and 840 microchip them instead? You can also collar and tag them but the chips can't get caught on stuff and are permanent.

    It's an opportunity for us to spend time. DH has changed moving targets to the DC office where we can locate in the country on the commuter train line in MD and he can take it in so he can not drive if he doesn't want to (1 hour train ride va 1 hour drive here currently), the kids can have good...

    ...I discovered today I have enough milk stands for each milker to have one so I can milk them all at once. So...behold, ONE STRING TO MILK THEM ALL! ...It's so tempting to keep ALL eight stands. I may just have to build five more nice ones, and THEN sell the small ones and just have 8...

    :lol:I had him sit on it. I borrowed his mass. We also discussed seeing how things go together and how to copy them (without taking everything apart and trying to break everything). If I build another I think he's going to be right there. A kid's got to learn, and I'd love it if he'd learn...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Keep yourself away from your piggies too! That's where they dump the bodies in the midwest (and they don't cook them first!). Piggies=eating machines.

    Our Lowe's carries terrible wood. I need another lumber store (and Lowes is NOT cheap to boot!)

    I finished my improved super deluxe (shorter) milk stand and plopped it into the lineup. Now I guess I should sell one of the smaller ones. The new one isn't perfect, but DH gave it the stamp of approval and recommends : 1)not buying lumber at Lowe's (so....hd?) and b)buying a planer and...

    Sick today all day. Discovered today half way through the day why-after I spent lots of time outside already of course. A week or so ago they round uped a wheat field. Today they are tilling it under. I guess I won't miss that. Feels like I've got the flu with a touch of asthma. I just want to...

    I'm in the process of learning how to build a thing. I don't get to take it with me, but they sell well. Now onto the platform.

    All I know is TSC here doubled their feed prices over COVID and they haven't gone back down and they're going more in the direction of a gift shop now. It's the Co-op for me-where prices can go up AND down with price of grain.

    That's a good idea. I think DH and I will have to have a meeting of the minds at some point soon. Sorry for bringing it here.

    Totally and you're right on. Mark has his undergrad in computer science and music with a minor in music composition and math and masters' degree in music composition and piano performance, so yes, he could teach college but he's not emotionally ready to go back. I suspect he'll do what his dad...

    Without getting too far into it the reason he's hesitant to do that is that the role he isn't over qualified for that they're hiring to fill is for AI to take other programmers jobs. That's not his specialty, he's not sure it's eithical, and he doesn't think AI will be a long term sticking...
