    There's a brewery there too. Welcome to Dildo Brewing Co.

    It has a museum too. Wonder what's in the museum?

    I've never had a chance to go in, though I've walked or drove past the place countless times. I don't drink, but I've heard the food is also delicious. I'll try it one of these days I suppose, if i catch them at a quiet moment, the place is usually extremely busy and I don't care for crowds or long waits.
    I imagine the museum has relics of local history, I know there's a few plaques outside the building with pictures and information about the whaling industry of days gone by, and the cod hatchery that once operated on Dildo Island.

    7 new steak seeds showed up over the weekend for summer camp here on the farm. They'll get 2% of their body weight in grain every day along with all the fresh grass and hay they want. They'll get wrapped and frozen in late October once they hit 1,350lbs. or more. Pasture has really greened up over the last couple weeks and they'll get rotated through 9 different paddocks every few days to keep them in fresh grass. Right now they range in size from about 475 to 575 lbs. each.

    Ain’t that the truth! If it’s not black snakes eating eggs it’s hawks, coons, possums, coyotes, stray dogs and skunks killing the hens. Thing is, this is my DW hobby so I’m just the enforcer :D

    I found a new trampoline for $200 last night, ordered it. WWW said no to $150 assembly, we'll see how long his wrists last attaching the springs.

    I use a triple loop of waxed 12-cord with a screwdriver as a handle for doing chainsaw brake springs. No need to buy anything fancy.

    Safety first as always with anything that stores energy and can release it suddenly.

    Got the apron forms 100% done. Will try to go get a load of pea gravel in the morning and get it to grade, plastic down, and rebar tied over the next few days between the rains.

    7 more yards of the good stuff and I'm done for a while.:emptywallet:

    I'm still waiting for some signs of spring. We got snow last night, but it is melting fast now. I have been outside three times since the beginning of the year, and I am anxious to be able to get out and sit in the sun.

    It's coming... Real Spring that is. We're supposed to get up to an inch of slush this afternoon. Then much nicer weather this weekend and next week. Screenshot_20250409-133816.png

    I think we'll have an outside fire on the patio this weekend.
