I have just found a community in the north park area of like minded individuals, close to a wonderful vegan restaurant, we are considering renting a duplex with a garden, will keep you posted:) I am on face book if you would like to connect there, i have made a lot of fb friends that are like kinded, some are local:)
Hi Ben,
Still solo here, don't think my small scale operation would work for wwoof but the help sure would have been nice in the Spring when I was reclaiming some abandoned spaces. The blackberries and perenial rye were doing really well in the old vegie patches,lol Ended up sheet mulching which worked great.
I'll check out the book you recommended. Thanks.
At least in my area, I think things are going to have to get a lot tougher before the IC starts to look attractive to the kind of folks that would make it mutually beneficial. Keeping an open mind though. Hope things are different where you're at.
All the Best, Bill
Hey Ben, I know all about the haying season, we have ordered five ton this year, I hope we do not get scalped for it, as far as the animal ID thing going around the department of ag has put the kabosh on it, so DO NOT GET RID OF YOUR HORSES, we have three and a donkey, goats, sheep ,geese, ducks ,a 100 or so chickens, so we have our hands full ,here I can fix alot of things around the farm, I am a disabled vet, my lungs are functoning at a 98 yearold level, if you look at the xray of them it all looks clear, but it is the in and out of the air passing through that is screwed up. I have good days and bad days, my clients know that, we just pick a week during the month and whatvever day I am feeling good enough to do it, I get er done, As far as schooling for farrierhood we were married to a forge and horse every day, we would have to make from a coal forge, shoes from staight stock and I got good enough after going to Bible school using my brain to using my hands to be in front of the class. My instructor took away my metal hammer and gave me a wooden mallet, so no matterhow hard I smacked the darn thing it would not move alot, then that taught me not to use muscle, but finness and work the fire not pound it in to oblivion, as far as plumbing goes, I was an apprentice to a German master plumber tearing out world war two plumbing in public housing in Germany, and replacing the pipes with gas and water pipes, it was an education and a half. I got out of the service in germany and started learning then. When we came back to the states I worked on a ranch, had alot of fun and hard work, then we moved because the Bible school I needed to go to was in Portland Oregon, I got all my schooling done and we moved into the country thank the Lord, Then over here i worked for a school district, and helped put in a sprinkler system for the soccer field, then I became a sun stroke dude and had to switch to inside work, cleaning, then I kept getting pneumonia, and I had to stop doing work on a time clock job, and went to being a stay at home dad, /farrier, but I had to scale back the farrier work, due to health, sounds like yall have enough acreage to support a commune type setting, I would love to see the place one day, well better sign off. willow out
Hey Ben this is willow, yes I am a Farrier, I went to school for it, I do some drafters, but being that it takes alot out of me , I keep em down to a couple every now and then. I just remembered this sight, thank you who e mailed me, willow out
Hey Ben & linda !
Well Austin is up at Kims under the van, Hes cutting out the hole he needs to put the 5 spd shifter through. It had to be moved over a bit, so he's keeping himself busy until saturday when the clutch comes in. Plus once the hole is there he can slide the shifter in and link it up or what ever to see if hes gonna have to get the drive shaft {i think} :) cut down a bit. We hope thats not needed but its possible. So thats the jist of it.
We had HOT days all last week now its gloomy and raining on and off.
Austin and I can't wait to see Idaho during the summer, or whats left of it, well we really cant wait to SEE Idaho period! LOL. Actually I'm excited about seeing everything the whole way again! It was beautiful in the winter, I can just imagine what its like this time of year.
Ashlei and Annica are excited to get back on the road again too. They were so quiet and good on the way to and back from the u-pull it yard. I was amazed. The distance is like from the ranch to sand point and back. WAY short of a cross country trip BUT I can dream a lil cant I? :)
Anyway, you guys have a good day...and we are glad Vince can help out some still. Once we get back home you will have lotsa EXTRA hands!!
Love you guys, and we'll try and give you a call later on!!
