Hiya Guys, great to wake up to you managing another week in Alaska as the snow tries to keep you in its grip. Such a cheerful countenance. I'm sure it's a much required attitude to survive individually and as a married couple and as parents. You've def passed the positive attitude gene onto your daughter . Just as there's poop on some eggs, that removes the notion that all is 100% perfect in homesteading, I'm sure there's days when a grumpy attitude prevails,but its not necessary to post such times as theg are retreived quickly and smiles return pronto. We all have our struglesvinnlife whether in Alaska or anywhere else in the world. Its great you post the reality that many don't. Til next time, happy hearts from our house in Australia to yours 🇦🇺🤗🙏💞👍👌✌️👏✝️🇺🇸

Good Morning Richard and Aimee, nice surprise waking up to a video from you. I guess you do like pickled eggs, lol. I'm surprised you don't use gallon containers, lol. Richard, nice job on the belt, what's a little blood if it saves you a few hundred dollars, lol. I think cleaning the chicken coop in the Winter keeps the smell down. Always fun to watch you too. You guys are so mellow, I like that. Thanks for sharing.

High winds = the only time you’re happy to have inside projects to do. I hate the serpentine belts !! I used to be able to carry extra belts to have them on hand in case one broke when i was on the road. Have a Great week and Thanks for sharing.

Why do engineers design stuff to make it so difficult to do basic maintenance???

[@hopemorrison2367]

Why dont you sell some eggs

[@heatherclayton-callaghan4270]

Probably bcos they need them for good nourishment in the winter months when some chickens don't lay. Aimed explained the good nutrients in the pickled eggs. Not my cup of tea , garlic is a huge no no for me, makes me very sick. I recall mother preserving eggs years ago when j was a child. She put them in some white frothy gel like mixture in a big old recycled tin. About 18ins high 12ins square. Not sure what was in it previously but it was cleaned and it preserved eggs beautifully. We were a family of 9 on very busy dairy farms in sth Otago, NZ. The chooks ( as we called them) were not so prolific layers in the cold winter months so preserved eggs were a must. Not just for scrambled or omelettes but for baking and desserts .
