Pastor Dave's Highlights

[Pastor Dave]

The asparagus all did pretty well. The strawberries never sprouted, so maybe in the Spring...

The operators of the lines are co-workers that operate the machinery that actually bag the cheese. Each line has cutters, operators, back up operators, palletizers, and palletizer assistants. We have a Team Lead that is on vacation, so another team's Lead is covering ours too. And, we have a Resource Leader(supervisor). Of course there are Team Managers above the Resource Leader, a Production Manager, and Plant Manager. The three last mentioned are usually just there during the day. Sometimes as the operators rotate which days they operate, they do other positions on the line their off days, so the operator last night will get his chance keeping up trying to cut or palletize.

Some guys you just can't get through to. We tried to point out we were too short to run that fast, and he just laughed it off and said, "I don't care."

The problem is that you DID run that fast. I hope no one looks at that "data" and ups the number the line should be able to put out every shift, especially since you were down one cutter.

 

[Baymule]

Sounds like there are a lot of managers.

 

[farmerjan]

Too many chiefs and not enough indians?????

Looked out the window on East side of house toward barn and chicken coop and saw a huge beaver up from the creek in the grass. It looked like it was foraging, but unless it was going for sticks and limbs, all that's there was walnuts and hickory nuts. Do they eat those? Did I mention it looked huge?

 

[CntryBoy777]

They are rodents, so they have to chew whether they eat or not....and hickory and walnuts are fairly thick shell nuts and I'm sure the meats would be enjoyed to....I'd be concerned of them damming the creek and be mindful of debris anywhere in your "piece" of it thru your property....they can cause great damage....either sss, or check on game regulations there...there usually is a trapping season....

 

[Pastor Dave]

The unfortuntate thing is that the neighbors seem to be fond of "it" or ones that have been/ are currently here. If it doesn't mess withmy mature trees, I may let it stick around. One neighbor said she had a mink in her yard the other day. They also have seen sn eagle flying overhead lately. I told her she better keep an eye out on their chihuahua.

 

[Bruce]

Yeah they better, a dog that small is a nice snack for an eagle.

I doubt a beaver would take down many mature trees though they can. They use smaller ones for their dams and houses. Store the smaller branches with leaves under water for winter food.

Today I went to Big R and bought new rabbit feed by Nutrena to start the rabbits on. Decided not to drive an hour anymore for feed. It looks nice and green, so rabbita should like it.

We have an old boy scout damn that was put in 45 to 50 years ago. Beaver started building on top of it 35 years ago, state fought with them for 30 years and have now abandoned the road, (state lost), after taking the BS damn down to creek bed. Beaver moved in and have damned over two areas covering 20 acres. Presently they have started to chew through about 10 trees with a diameter of 15 to 20 inches. Seems that their intent is to clear a water way to float their branches. Since the pond isn't bothering anyone it's nice to have a lake instead of a swamp.
