I would like to make butter but with just the two of us in the house these days it just would not be worth it. But really enjoy you guys discussing it, brings back memories. Of course growing up I had to milk the cows by hand morning and night and take my dates out afterwards with cow milker smelling hands. Ever pin a corsage on your city girl date and she asks what that horrible smell is? I do not miss the milking.

What's really funny is that people like you who grew up on farms are glad to get away from it and let others do the work. Meanwhile people who never had to get up and do chores before school think that it's fun to come home from work and tend the chickens and slop the pigs... even though (as I hear a hundred times a week) it's cheaper to go down to the grocery store and buy a pork chop; or "the grocery store is selling turkeys for 39 cents a pound, I just bought 4 for $10."

Errol Flynn (you're old enough to remember him) in his book "My Wicked Wicked Ways" describes how he worked on a sheep station out back of Australia and one of his jobs was on the line when the lambs were being docked. They would pass him the lamb, upside down, and he would put his face in there and bite out the testicles and spit them out onto the ground. At night he was also making out with the rancher's daughter and she had no idea where his face had been all day.

I also had wrestle sheep to the ground to clip hooves all day and then go on dates, but I never in my life have had to bite any balls in any way shape, species or form. :laughing: :laughing:

We called them Rocky Mountain Oysters or Lamb Fries. We only had to eat them once though and they were cooked.

I respectfully disagree. With the Still flip up cap design it is quite easy to twist the cap, "lock" it down and the cap still comes off if you didn't have it in the right grooves. I have lost more oil than I care to admit, but don't usually notice until I get in the woods and ready to fire up. Thank goodness the cap tether works and I haven't lost the cap......yet.

Happened to me a few times too. I prefer the screw in caps.

Had a storm blow down a large red oak a few months ago. Finally got to get it pulled out of the tree line. My son helped.
