Hotrod Haley, wow she is AMAZING !

[@9252LIFE]

She keeps telling us she wants to be the star of our other channel on Great American Northern Garage. We just don’t want to steer any of our kids in any of our fun directions but just want them to enjoy being kids and soak all of it in.

[@mikeunum]

@@9252LIFE right way. We as parents don't have to push them in one direction because one day they are adults too and have to find the right way in life. I know the other channel and i subscribe the moment you talked the first time about it. Oh man you must so proud of your girls and they are really something special but kids in the first place. We parents can only support them to try out things and go with them that way. Then they will grow up as very reponsable humans.

Lisa Steele’s family has been raising chickens for five-generations. She has a popular blog and Facebook page to share poultry tips. A question she’s often asked is if eggs should be washed after being collected from the hen house. The short answer is “No”. Eggs are laid with a natural coating on the shell called the “bloom” or “cuticle”. This coating is the first line of defense in keeping air and bacteria out of the egg. Eggshells are porous, so when you wash them you’re removing that natural barrier. Unwashed eggs can sit on your kitchen counter at room temperature for a couple of weeks and they’ll still be edible. But once they’ve touched water, they need to be refrigerated. Store-bought eggs have been cleaned so they need to go in the fridge.

[@9252LIFE]

We know this. But we wash them before cracking them open to cook

[@naomijo8736]

We gather enough eggs for a day or two. It's nice to wash them once we gather them and have them ready for our daily needs. 🙂

Like Prince once said referencing why he never moved from the twin cities the cold and the snow keeps the bad people away

[@darthgbc363]

Just looking for new content yesterday. 😁 Maybe use that unused hay bail tarp to side in the Kubota. Glad you didn't hit Haley's bike. My brother kept busting sheer pins on his snowblower. From hitting stuff he "forgot" to clear up before the snow fell. Mostly firewood. He's got the BX series Kubota. He is constantly swapping the front bucket with the front snowblower. He has the backhoe on for weight. Snowblower is a must for this much snow. But it's no good at grabbing firewood rounds.

[@randymiller1604]

Good job on the winch! The hay bale on the front of the Kubota reminded me of a stump I dug out with my Kubota. It was big and heavy. I strapped it to the bucket, but could only lift it about an inch off the ground, but that was enough to get it to the burn pile. Another time I dug out a bigger stump with a Cat 420. The Cat would not lift the stump, another guy operated the 420 while I used the Kubota to help lift the stump, which we had chained to the bucket. We were able get that stump to a fill area. Amazing machines!
