Eggs

Our hens are still giving us three beautiful, perfect eggs a day.

Electric Boat

Is this an electric-powered sailboat? No, the Potter just makes a convenient holder for the solar panel. I want to find out how well it keeps a 12 volt car battery charged. Eventually I'd like to use it to power a portable chicken coop.

Greenhouse Barrels

I put these six barrels in the greenhouse and filled them with water. The hope is that they'll moderate the temperature by heating up in the daytime and releasing the stored energy at night. I'll have to take lots of temperature readings under various conditions to see if they are doing any good. My greenhouse is starting to look like a high school Science Fair project!

Jefferson

A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have. -- Thomas Jefferson

Buttermilk

How do you know when a carton of buttermilk has gone past it's expiration date -- does it start to taste good?

Gun Control

If a conservative doesn't want a gun, he doesn't buy one. When a liberal doesn't like guns, he feels that no one should have one.

Thatcher

The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. -- Margaret Thatcher

Nature

Everything natural -- every flower, tree, and animal -- has important lessons to teach us if we would only stop, look, and listen. - Eckhart Tolle
