Charles R. Stevens Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 So the question is, should my cheese press be listed under tools, presses or anvils? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Yes. What kind are you making? Have you noticed how many blacksmiths are good cooks? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 I have at that, could it be all the time we spend as bachalers befor we find women crazy enugh to have us? a crumbling cheese similar to feta. Got to do somthing with the gallon a day the goats are giving me. This is what's left of a day's milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Probably right about that though being a good cook is additional mate bait. Heat management talent plays in too I believe. I LOVE goat's milk, chill it in the fridge and you have to eat it with a spoon like custard, a cup is a meal. Great stuff. You've probably said already but what kind of goats and how many in the herd? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Kid picks up the flavor of smoke on the BBQ or smoker like nothing else I know, one of my favorites. I've always liked Nubians but Deb says they're too loud. Do you have a tether ball set up for them, they play an awesome game of tether ball. You just don't want to try playing them. I love the sense of humor, smart and mischievous. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 They use the horses Jolly ball more than the horses, but they are playing "clack the horns" right now, that is when they are not terrorizing the grand daughters (which I secretly encorage). The girls arn't as vocal as some I have had, but George is pitiful, he sounds like a colocky baby, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Heh heh heh, folk thought I was joking when I said you could hear them butting heads over the TV indoors and we raised African Pygmies. A couple of the girls liked to rub their heads against your back, about the ONLY head game we permitted. We disbudded as soon as buds started to show. They still sounded like bowling balls colliding head on at about 20mph. makes you cringe but they love it. One of their favorite toys was the street sweeper brush I brought home it must've been two weeks before they'd leave off scratching against it for a while. It was always covered in goat hair. I miss the goats, especially kids. The rut stinks though. I just looked at the clock, it must be 3:00am there. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles R. Stevens Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Yes sir, easy to fall into the IFI time warp... I typicaly prefer polled, but this batch came a bit to old for it. They are all tractable, it's just that the grand babies are eye ball to eye hall with them and the goats have got their bluff in. The worst they realy do is rear at then and occasionally reach over and give them a poke. For the rest of us that are taller than a 3 coming 4 year old, it's one wanting to crawl in to your lap, wile the other two stand around nibbling on your hair... morning coffee is never lonely.

ThomasPowers Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Side note: When Anstee was doing his experimental archeology work on pattern welded blades back in the 1950's, (you can find a bit of it in an appendix of "The Sword in Anglo-Saxon England" by H.R.Ellis Davidson); he used a cheese weight as an anvil...
