I remember as our water pipe which was on the outside of the hose froze. Had to torch it to thaw out. Guess we got lucky as it didn’t burst. No day off for the kids as it rolled in on Christmas Eve and the kids were out of school anyway. M8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen got on the bus before she made it home from her night out. The bus driver said she was headed home, right in the centre of the road. She goes onto the ditch when a car comes and back into the road after. The good thing is, it isn’t a busy road. Loader is off The blower is greased and the tractor is fuelled. I am ready for winter, but I don’t want it to begin. Owen is hoping for a snow day tomorrow. Is the hay left from when you had the cattle or do you use it for something else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe similar in that there is no school, but probably very different in how a kid spends the day. I grew up in Buffalo and had my share of snow days. We were always out playing in the snow if we didn't need to be in school. Probably not the same for a hurricane day. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids loved playing in the rain on hurricane days. We have never had a big storm hit us but the schools close when it's only a tropical storm so they would play until the wind got too strong and go right back out once it passed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lived together until they got married and moved on in their 20’s and been friends ever since. Have been there once and spent most of my holidays in Dublin until 13 so love, love love Ireland. thank you for posting link.

In the coverall we have straw, and corn husks to sell for bedding. It is mainly from this year. We keep it there because it tends to draw mice. It’s 40’X120’ and almost full. We keep hay in the barn where it is also better protect from the elements.is from this year as well. The straw is from this years wheat and the hay is from our hayfields. We keep hay in the rotation of crops. It is has been sold to people who live minutes away to as far away as an hour. Sometimes it leaves on a small trailer and sometimes two transport loads at a time. This year we even sold some right out of the field.

The newest addition is this old Polaroid. I have film and treated papers to take pictures. also have original box case. Trying to figure out how old this one is. Now it takes the center spot. If it is similar to the SX 70 Land Camera, they are quite valuable. Check the prices on eBay. We used to have SX-70. I traded ours in to the camera store for a new lense for my old Canon F-1. Which I also ended up selling on eBay. Pretty much everything is digital now. Which in a way I like. I can take lots of photos, delete the bad ones and have prints made inexpensively of the ones I do like, for my photo albums and scrapbooks. Here it is, not quite an SX-70, but a model 95. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Polaroid_instant_cameras#/media/File:Polaroid_Land_Camera_Model_95_-_MIT_Museum_-_DSC03766.JPG Edited December 1, 2020 by Coralc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine turned out dry last time; need advice. A quick sear, but the cast iron was preheated in the oven for 20 minutes at 400. Pull cast iron from oven, then add canola oil. Spice loin to your liking prior to the sear on all sides. Then back into the oven until it is 145 internally, around 20 minutes. Then rest for 5/10 and serve. It tastes great and is not dry. Extra cheese melted on top of the potatoes at the end is one of my favourites. Edited December 1, 2020 by A&L_Ont 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine turned out dry last time; need advice. Another option, that we've discussed here, is to sous vide the pork loins and then sear on the cast iron skillet at a very high temperature to finish it. Since the sous vide process (typically) involves putting the food in a vacuum sealed bag, moisture is retained nicely. You can tightly control the cook temp and avoid overcooking the pork, which many people do out of fear of eating undercooked pork. You need the cast iron sear at the end to give it some color and "crunch" on the outside. We've done pork loins this way several times, usually after a marinade. Yes...I'm a fan of the sous vide cooking method. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Cold here in Florida. Low this morning was 42. Freeze and frost warnings for early morning tomorrow. I decided not to do my normal Wednesday Motorcycle ride tomorrow. I would’ve gone but my riding buddies said they were out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
