    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    Thanks I will arrange a consult with him as soon as we get transferred to the PPO. He is in my phone. Told DH we needed to take the recliners, his desk chair, exercise machine, bedroom cabinet, and other large items but he said he does not think we will have room if he puts the fie;d feeders in...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    We are switching to a PPO but need to find a good GP as well as all the specialists we have to see now. I know, more tranquilizers! DH just called Galin and they are checking her over now. Something is causing her electrical not to charge but if that is so wouldn't she have stopped working on...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    DS1 called this morning to say that the freezer repairman came out. Condenser is completely burned out. Not from dirt or dust since it is sealed dust tight. The repairman also said the new freezers are all made "garage ready" but the specifications say the "garage ready" ones have extra...

    You exhaust me with all you get done! I wish DS could stop working at that DOT job and just stay home to do the farm work. He sounds more calm when he can rest as he needs and without the mental pressure from that place. We need to get the breeding dates adjusted in Texas for next year too...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    "Garage ready" has extra insulation and can handle temps from 0 degrees to 110 degrees. Non garage ready freezers are designed to be kept inside or in easier temperatures. We got a "garage ready" freezer to put down in the milk shed. California sumers can sometimes rech 110 degrees or higher...

    Sheep with overnight sores on face

    I meant rather than unneutered llama males. We adopted a pair of llamas one year to try as guardians with our Pyrs. Our gelded llama was great but one was an intact male and the llama rescue people did not warn us about having him gelded. The ungelded one tried to breed our dairy does right...

    Our garage ready freezer in Texas is a GE 21.7 cf freezer. Discussed with DS1 that if the repoairs are more than $900, then we wil buy the exact same one again. We looked at others - the 24.8 cf garage ready Fridgidaire was an option. It has wheels which would make it easily movable in the...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    Don't want the Black Dragon since it sits much higher than standard 4WD dually. We can hardly get in and out of it. Also when it has temper tantrums it won't put out the electrical ruDS1 almost fell out of it one time when it was acting up! Also takes X-large tires, and wider wheel base...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    Today is very disheartening. I think we made a big mistake moving anywhere. Both of us are depressed and upset. :hit Yesterday DH took DS2's punctured tire to get it repaired. The truck's battery light came on. DS1 had said that he was having a problem with the battery but that he would...

    Ridgetop - our place and how we muddle along

    Me too. I wonder if the bug repelling stuff with the "Water beading technology provides better visibility" would keep the exterior of my windows from getting as water spotted in winter. We are back from Amarillo where we met DS1 to exchange our car for the truck. DS1 had the truck in Texas...

    Sounds really pretty. I think the wall color will really look good with those floor colors. I like scored and died concrete floors, but the plank vinyl is easier on the ankles. We will put plank vinyl in the living room, kitchen, halls and bathroms in Texas. I took out the carpet and put...

    Our First year Lambing! (2024-25)

    We jug mom and lambs for a couple days to 1 week for bonding. They can lamb with the flock (which is less upsetting for them) but then we grab the newborn lambs and lead the ewes into the barn and stick them in a jug. Bonding is important, particularly when you have mutiple ewes lambing at the...

    Some states have (used to have?) an introductin to AG and food production in their curriculum. California doesn't. California used to supply over 50% of the nation's fruits and vegetables, along with beef, and cotton. Ever since the Sacramento legislators decided that a tiny fish was more...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Haven't been on in awhile - trip to Amarillo to meet DS1 and swap car for truck. Your business card is nice is it 2 sided or folding? You can also save some space by having your services in a 2 column format: "Site Prep Excavation Firebreaks...

    Don't you love it when (city) people talk about the relaxing oife farmer and ranchers have?! Most farmers and ranchers I know have a town job as well as working into the night doing their ranch work. My friend in Utah is usually out in the fields until midnight moving wheel lines (he...

    That color with white trim was popular about 10-15 years ago. Then gray became popular. I understand the designers are returning to earth tones so should be right in style!
