Mini Horses
Herd Master
This morning is windy, cooler, overcast with possible showers off/on. Heavy rains late day & overnight, which we needed! Been like others -- hot, hot, hot & dry. So rain welcome, & some cool off.
Coffee on -- help yourself. I'm working later, so checking in & out before. Animals also well & happy with lower temps -- even the goats were tolerating the water since it gave them relief. Maybe the chickens will upped the egg output tomorrow!
RollingAcres...glad DH is home & hope he will have fast healing. You know, will need some "wait on me" time. And I don't mean he's slower moving
Bay, knew you would appreciate the find with your "bargain" genes. Yeah, me too!!! Looking further, I agree with seller, never used. (it was boxed & in a shed of a house he bought).
GB -- you come thru every time! I haven't had time to even think into more research ( back working) and these sites sure help, big time! Downloaded manual !
Looking at the pics in the No 7 thread, Yes, I have petcock, screw on handle with metal bottom & bakelite at top. Can find NO dates anywhere. Doesn't matter, just curiosity. My gauge has a white face and on the back side of the handle is a release plug -- looks metal with rubber inside ?? -- but, that is what it is, per manual. First thing I thought when buying -- switch out the petcock to the weighted thing. My old one has such and it is a very heavy cast alum one but, not in front of me so can't say what brand. It does have gasket, it does set on & twist to seal -- several spots slide under one another -- very descriptive, huh? I've had it 40 +/- yrs. Not used in last 15, packed & would get new gaskets/tested before use. Same basic size. BUT it worked great when I was doing heavy canning years ago. Now, canning is for my self supply. A security blanket for my future "retirement". That is part of MY prepping to care for self and use farm provided & garden items, with having everything here & paid up. PRICE was huge incentive for me.
It's like finding one of the old crank butter churns that is all there, still works, almost free.....we get excited over such "little" things!
In past year I have accomplished acquisition of several appliance & farm items all for under $400. I am amazed! Price of said items is over $1800 and all have been excellent, almost new. And a purebred buckling @ similar 1/4 value cost. CL has been good for me.
Last item I want -- a milking machine, similar savings. It will come.
