Does your state county offer tree farm program?

Is a "Wildlife Management" tax valuation offered in your Dad's State? Is he in NH too?[/QUOTE]

He’s in Ohio. No wildlife management.
Talking to dad tonight, he’s willing to just pay the taxes. The worse part is having to pay back the last 3 years, even though he had cattle then. Just not fair, but what is these days.
I saw in tax records one of the neighbors had to pay back taxes, because they made a management plan but did nothing, didn’t mark property, didn’t cut wild grape vines, didn’t implement the plan. All this recorded in their tax records online.
I told dad he should have kept a couple cows. But at 96, he’s not able to do it.

Lease the land to someone else to run cows on then?

Not sure mine would offer the same compliment but I highly suspect she prefers I do the cooking most of the time. Fine with me, much rather cook than do the dishes.

Jerry Owens (Owens Sausage) famously said "He who cooks .. does not clean".

That would be the easiest IF the fences and pens are in good shape.

Good evening all. 24F for the start, overcast, light wind. Clouds cleared out light to moderate wind, and high temp was 54F. No fire insert today, went to change back to heat pump mode and forgot to check blades on fan. Heat exchange tower started shacking like unbalanced washing machine. One fan blade had shed most of it's ice. Propane torch to cold to light, but hair dryer worked just fine, much smoother second go around. got fridge ready for new board tomorrow. Nap was great and no bike ride.

Yeah, that "pistol" used about 600 PSI to inject you...pretty common method of inoculation in the military. You just don't want to move your arm since that high pressure can tear you up...
I hate getting jabbed (and the military does "jab" service members a lot!)

Yup. they stick it right to them, both while they are in the service and then again when they come home.

They aren’t

First few buds were opening up in the hedgerow this morning.

good morning all. 13 degrees on Sunday morning and a lovely sunny day going up to 37.
Tomorrow, back in the soup, one to three inches of snow, but with warmer temps should melt in a few days.

today is muffin delivery day, first have to stop at garden shop and pick up an indoor plant for my MIL, who I'm having lunch
with. She is making me stuffed peppers, a favorite of mine. Then after lunch I will drive up to Popgadget's home and drop off a plate of muffins
for his family. That will get all the calories out of the house. :thumbsup:

am surprised at headlines about Texans getting huge crippling electric bills. How can their bills be so high if the power has been off so much?
Is it just the cold weather and a lot of electric heaters running?

Eric, lovely, is that a cherry tree?

 

[Buppies]

16.7this morning sort of chilly today rain tomorrow then big warm up Tuesday and Wednesday

Not sure what is on tap for today

Prayers for all

Prayers for our Country

 

[ronjhall]

Coffee is done brewing. -0° with light fog this morning. Heading to 29° with wind and overcast skies. Scanned some more pictures yesterday. Will do some more today. May watch some NASCAR today.

Drew, muffins look good. I did a large pot of spaghetti yesterday. Love the smell of sauce cooking.

Eric, flower pictures always brighten my day.

Buckeye, hope your Dads gets property taxes straightened out.

LS, all I can say is be careful.

David, I have a whirlpool bathtub. Only used it first couple of years after install 30 years ago.

Bird, glad you got your groceries.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

 

[wngsprd]

17 and lots of stars..going to 42...maybe the rest of the snow and ice will melt before we get more tomorrow.

Eric, nice flowers...we had our first crocus bloom starting to open a couple of days ago before it covered up with snow.

Went for a nice long hike and then finished and filed taxes last night.

Glad to see you Texians recovering. Hope it isn't too long before a return to normal.

Ron, I love red-breasted nuthatches.

Good Morning
It’s 19 with a forecast high of 35 with clear skies.
4” of snow forecast for tomorrow, I’m supposed to go to Hilton Head, but might postpone to Tuesday to avoid getting deiced, as it will add $2500 or so to the bill.

Yesterday’s road trip to pick up the bass went well. It turned out to be nicer than described. I identified it by the serial number, it was built in 1951. I spent some time with it when I got home, took a ride down the lane and back with the tractor to scape the thawed ice and push the banks back.
A friend came by with a small electronic repair job, and before I knew it it was dinner time.

Not sure about today, might be a good day to exercise the small plane, it hasn’t been run in a while. Rumor has it the muffin man is coming this afternoon.

18 right now...high in the upper 20's...

Just a putter around day...

 

[farmeratheart]

Good morning All.

16F and clear as the sun comes up. Supposed to be 31F this afternoon with lots of sun today. Was above freezing briefly yesterday, but snow only settled. Not much of it melted.

Nothing on the agenda today except a grocery run this morning. Maybe some NASCAR this afternoon.

Enjoy the last of the weekend!

Is it mud season in the UK now?

Drew, muffins look good. I did a large pot of spaghetti yesterday. Love the smell of sauce cooking.

makes the whole house smell good. I cooked bacon for breakfast, just a little with a fried egg sandwich, then rest of bacon
will get crumbled up into red sauce I want to put over pasta for tonight. Haven't had bacon in a long time.
which from a health standpoint is probably a good idea.
But a little crumpled bacon on a home made pizza? Yum
