@Bruce, yeah, if I can find a flex connect hose that isn't 4 ft long!!!!! I mean, REALLY...... I have a couple of places to check today... ought to have one by this evening I HOPE.... Went on line last night and none in stock at 2 Lowe's near here... Going to check on Home Depot, if the place that put my propane in doesn't have any.... seems that it is ANOTHER thing that is back ordered... yada yada yada.....

Talked to one guy and he said that most stoves are fit in between cabinets, so the hoses are longer so that they can be attached without tearing apart the cabinets... and to be able to pull the stove out and cut off the propane at the wall without a problem or "stretching" the hose.... so I get the longer hose now. The shortest they make is 2 ft....
My cabinet moves so getting behind the stove is not a big problem.... Maybe I will just use the 4 ft one and hook it up and be done with it.

Yard sale or second hand childrens store... thrift shop.... A car seat needs to meet the specs and all, but a stroller does not need to be so specific....

Not sure what a cow being pregnant has to do with no cream in the milk??????

Selling to other people who only know buying standard-everything-the-same pork or other meats from the store, I try to not let the pigs get oversized. Myself-I don't care. I generally have to educate people on the whole process. Like WAITING for an animal to actually GROW and the slaughter process. They just have no idea. I'll be talking to my customers soon about next year. The half hog buyers may want a whole hog. I need to know way in advance for all the reasons that you already know.

Since the facility we use is USDA, I can't get fat from other animals not my own.
Never thought about the ones you were selling to.... If it is USDA can you just buy fat? Our USDA guy also has a shop and sells meat and stuff there.... they raise cattle for the shop, but once it goes in a USDA plant, anything should be able to be sold shouldn't it???? I don't know....

Rina always holds back cream when she first gets pregnant, we always say she is saving calories! LOL. Old wives tale in this house mostly. Not super scientific.
All the years dealing with dairy cattle, and I have never heard that.... new one to me.....interesting.

I need to charge higher prices for eggs if I'm going to afford a stroller. Why in the world are they so expensive?! no rain here anymore. I think one of the cows is pregnant because I got zero cream today. Going to have to sell it as skim! :lol:
This year I bought a $90 umbrella stroller, trying to be nicer than usual. I like umbrella strollers because they fold up for the car and are light weight. That one broke after one use. Then I got this one instead, just like I had for the other kids. It's still here. With my other two with my other two boys I wore the wheels down on them.

We don't do big fancy jogging strollers (had one once, SO bulky and HEAVY...and we broke it on too many walks), but some times you can find them second hand for a decent or giveaway price.
