Good Morning!--Chat thread

[Thewife]

As far as I'm concerned all shoes are bad. Every sprained or torn tendon ankle I've ever had was due to the fact that I was wearing shoes at the time! Even good tennis shoes.

Hmmm, I hate to tell you but, you must not know what a pressure tank is. It doesn't have to do with milking directly. Think water. It's the tank that the pump fills, holds the water, and pressurizes it.

I was picturing the small tank in the parlor that the milk went into before it was sent to the big tank! It has been 17(?) years since I milked!
As for shoes, no bare feet around here! I have dogs that leave pieces of who knows what, all over the yard!

DH and the girls are off getting a new pressure tank. I stayed home to mow lawn--no dew this morning.

 

[Thewife]

Good morning everybody!

I guess I will be back on weed patrol today.
Found another small patch of Teasel yesterday!
Like I needed another kind of weed to battle!

Ok, Kitty, what is the little tank the milk goes into before it's sent to the big tank?

 

[Farmer Kitty]

It's a pre-cooler. Some use one and some don't.

so your milk goes from the receiver jugg to the pre cooler an then to the milk tank.pre coolers save the milk tank from running so much.

3 hours of sleep! Not enough for me. Hand one of those boys the camera and send them in search of those elusive Beefmasters you have around there.

Pressure tank replaced and DH is at work. Lawn is all mowed. All before the rain comes in. Although, it has been thundering.

Dern it wynedot, why didn't you post that before I was forced to do some slow dial up research? It was driving me nuts because I could not remember what it was called!(old age is a #####)
Precooler does not sound right, could it have been a recieving tank? It gathered the milk then kicked on and sent it up to the bulk tank?

I do remember was it wasn't working on night and I could not milk til some one fixed it!
That's why I asked Kitty if she could milk with out one!


Pictures are on the to do list?
Which page in the farming to do list are they on? The "do it now", the "when we get to it", or the "weather permitting"?
97 head? How many are beefmasters?

 

[wynedot55]

theres about 15 beefmasters in that mix.
