    A Real Mystery!!!!!

    OMG!!! Did Superman have gas logs? Maybe it's made of Kriptonite!!! Isn't it interesting how we can find things in places we would never expect. It almost never fails that when I think that I'm the first person to ever stand in a long-lost place, when I'm hunting in the wilds, that I quickly...

    A Real Mystery!!!!!

    Have you tried to file it? Burn it? Saw it? Does it have an odor? Have you tasted it? Can you melt it with water, soap, alcohol, solvent, etc.? Can you bend it or will it break?

    A Real Mystery!!!!!

    The first two pics above look as though the material was extruded under pressure. The fissures or cracks look just like some plastic extrusions I have seen. Or like the kids' playdough that has been extruded. The metallic areas look like maybe wrinkled aluminum foil had been in contact with...

    A busy morning here at PlayStation

    I'm not sure that it is necessary to tell everyone at TEG all about myself and my life so I decided to provide a quick version of the answers to your questions. I hope I don't leave any out - I apologize if I do. PlayStation Farm is owned and run by my baby sister and me. All members of both...

    A busy morning here at PlayStation

    I finally remembered to tuck my camera into my bibs this morning. The kids are off school this week for some kind of fall break. Emily and I moved the mini-donkeys to a different paddock. Repaired hundreds of feet of fencing damaged by our bad-boy bull. Moved 61 baby pigs from furrowing pens...

    Umpqua CC Shooting

    I remember seeing a TV news interview several years ago in south Alabama where the interviewer asked a young lady if her gun, which was on her hip in a holster, was loaded. She answered in a deep-south drawl "Now why in the world would anybody tote an empty gun? You must be a big city sissy."...

    Need help growing Aloe

    I very good friend just gave me a baby Aloe plant today. It is in a 4" pot with potting soil. She told me that it should be a more sandy soil to thrive. I don't have any sand and I probably won't go out to buy one handfull of sand for it. Do you think it will be OK in the potting soil? Also...

    Umpqua CC Shooting

    The shootings we Americans have experienced in recent years have always brought a lump to my throat. I'm sure it saddens the hearts of most of us. It is so sad that we cannot seem to get a handle on this kind of craziness. I and all of my friends here in the boonies have carry permits and...

    So, it's October

    Oh! It's so good to hear that you guys are getting a gentle rain. Wouldn't it be nice to get lots more gentle stuff? I'm sure there is major concern if you get hard downpours. The now-vulnerable areas will see mudslides with too much, too soon.

    How Were Your Tomatoes This Year?

    I know that Dad was really big into seed sharing for many years. In fact, he was a founding member of a seed exchange club in IN, OH, and MI from 1998 through 2009. Not just tomatoes but pumpkins, squash, beans, peppers, and tons of others. There are boxes of tiny envelopes, tiny...

    Biodegradable Coffins What Do You Think?

    Ah Ha, that's the one for me. They say that the funeral is mostly for the living or surviving folks to have closure. I say "Ha Ha, they'll get over it". Just drag my old carcass to the furnace and don't even bother to remove the ashes.
