We're cranking out two pots a day, plus a few cups of instant.

Weekend Steam: Oldest Paddle Steamer In Australia, PS Melbourne
This is one I stumble across, and it is great to watch. It is the Paddle Steamer Melbourne, plying the Murray River at Mildura. It is a much different layout in the engine room than American steamboats!

No Log Too Big!
Once in a while a really big log will come into a mill, too big for the carriage, too big for the blade to cut through. Sawyers would use this method to bust a log in two so it could be sawed. Powder is a bit pricey nowadays, so don't let your trees go over-ripe on you!

Five, Count 'em, Five!
Our resident nesters are the proud parents of five little fluffs! Doing their annual Spring Grind, raising young'uns.
People's Good!
How far would you drive to adopt/save a dog you have never met? Today we have an adopter choosing one of the hoarding case Schipperkes after driving 1100 miles, and then he will be driving two days to go home. Happy Trails!
Dogs will be moving east in the weeks to come. A family is coming from Havre, Montana soon, and three dogs will be making a road trip to Minnesota. We have adopters wanting for Schips up and down the east coast and scattered about flyover country. We are working on transport solutions.

Hiving A Swarm
Our next door neighbor called, needing help with a swarm of honey bees. I set one of his hive boxes under the swarm and cut the dead branch holding the swarm so I could fold it down. I shake the bees off and into the top of the hive at the end of the video, which was shot by my lovely Susan.
A swarm in May is worth a bale of hay, a swarm in June is worth a silver spoon, A swarm in July, Let it fly!
