  1. Your close but not exactly correct. Keep trying. John
  2. I am thinking it is either a grist mill or a hammer mill. We will find out if it ever drys up enough to get the tractor into the woods. John
  3. I do know what this is, does anyone else? This equipment is on a friend's place and has been sitting for many, many years. I am wanting to restore this piece and maybe the other one once we get then out of the woods, It's just too wet right now. I thought I was going to have to call for a helicopter to get my truck out when we almost got mired down in the mud. I love my four wheel drive. John
  4. Any ideas on what this might be? If I can get this pic to post... I'll work on it. John
  5. 2-18 I planted 4 Blueberries, 8 Raspberry, 6 Thornless Blackerry, 1 Peach tree, and 1 Damson Plum tree. Now if they would just hurry up... John
  6. Okay. I'm back....sorta. Stil sorting files and cleaning things up. Got several recalls to post and lots of reading to do. The cost wasn't too bad, about $150.00 plus I got a new hard drive and I added 2 gigs of memory.. The best thing is all of my files and pics are back. If anyone out there does not have offline backup I highly suggest you look in to it. For 16.5 cents a day it is worth it to me. John
  7. I am having computer issues and may have to take the machine to the shop, I will probably lose everything on the machine, The good news is I have it all backed up. I learned the hard way the last time. Now if I can find my OS disk it might turn out okay. I have no clue where the disk is, it's not with all of my others. John
  8. http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/18/health/coronavirus/index.html?hpt=hp_bn13 *Snip* (CNN) -- Infectious disease experts say they wouldn't be surprised if a new virus that's sickened 12 people and killed five shows up in the United States. The first cases of the novel coronavirus, which is in the same family as SARS and the common cold, were found to have occurred in an Amman, Jordan, hospital in April, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People have also become infected in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. On Saturday, the World Health Organization announced a new case in the United Kingdom. "I wouldn't be shocked if it came here," said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. Dr. Susan Gerber, a medical epidemiologist in the CDC's Division of Viral Diseases, agreed. "It could happen," she said. "That's why the CDC is working closely with the World Health Organization and other international partners." The CDC has advised doctors to ask patients with certain symptoms about their recent travels. Symptoms of infection with the novel coronavirus include an acute respiratory infection, fever and a cough. The new virus, which the WHO is calling NCoV, or novel coronavirus, has a range of effects. One patient in the United Kingdom had only mild symptoms, but others have suffered pneumonia and kidney failure. "Once it gets you, it's a very serious infection," Schaffner said. Fortunately, he added, the virus is "very difficult to acquire." John
  9. She is a member over at Homesteading Today. John
  10. In reading this I notice it calls for shortening but doesn't say how much. I don't know if I deleted that part when I copied it. I didn't add any and they taste fine to me and Mrs; Wormie so I guess the next time I make them I will not add any again. John
  11. I thought I'd post the doughnut recipe that I used today. Home made Doughnuts Ingredients: Doughnuts: 1-1/8 cup Whole Milk, Warm 1/4 cup Sugar 2-1/4 teaspoons (one Package) Instant Or Active Dry Yeast 2 whole Large Eggs, Beaten 1-1/4 stick Unsalted Butter, melted 4 cups All-purpose Flour 1/4 teaspoon Salt Shortening GLAZE: 3 cups Powdered Sugar 1/2 teaspoon Salt 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla 1/2 cup Cold Water Or Milk Preparation Instructions To Make the Dough: 1. Make sure milk is nice and warm, but not overly hot. 2. Add sugar to milk. Stir to dissolve. 3. Add yeast into a small bowl. 4. Pour milk/sugar mixture over yeast. Stir gently, then let sit for 10 minutes. 5. Melt butter in separate bowl until butter is melted. 6. Add beaten eggs to melted butter, stirring constantly. 7. Add the egg/butter mixture to the bowl, with the mixer on medium-low speed, pour in the yeast mixture. 8. Stir this mixture for a couple of minutes, making sure it is thoroughly combined. 9. With the mixer still going, add helpings of the flour mixture in 1/4 to 1/2 cup increments until all the flour is gone. 10. Knead the mixture on a floured surface for 5 minutes. 11. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes. 12. Put the dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Coat both sides, & then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place straight in the fridge. 13. Refrigerate dough for at least 8 hours, or overnight. To Make the Doughnuts: 1. Remove bowl from fridge and turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. 2. Roll out to 1/4 to 1/3-inch thickness. 3. Using a 3-inch cutter, cut as many rounds as you can, then roll out remaining dough and cut as much as you can, etc. 4. Cut holes out of each round using a 1 1/2-inch cutter. 5. Place both doughnuts and holes on a floured baking sheet. 6. Cover with large towel and place in a warm place. 7. Allow doughnuts to rise undisturbed for at least 1 hour; 1 hour & 15 minutes if necessary. Doughnuts should be visibly puffier and appear to be airy. To Fry the Doughnuts: 1. Heat plenty of vegetable shortening in a large pot until the temperature reaches 375 degrees, do not let it get hotter than 380. 2. Allow them to cook 1 minute on each side; they will brown very quickly. 3. Remove doughnuts from the oil. 4. Place doughnut immediately on several layers of paper towels. 5. The holes will cook more quickly than the doughnuts; about 30 seconds per side. 6. Allow doughnuts to slightly cool. To Glaze 1. Mix all glaze ingredients in a bowl until completely smooth. 2. One by one, dip doughnuts into the glaze until halfway submerged. 3. Serve warm if possible, or room temperature. I got 24 doughnuts from this and the glaze made way too much for a batch. I think I should have warmed the glaze up a bit so that it would not be so thick. I did 12 with regular glaze and then added some chocolate syrup and did the rest. They are not like a true chocolate doughnut but I like them. I also lightly dusted them with cinnamon, just enough to get the taste and they are yummy. I made 4 about twice as thick as the reciepe calls for and they look more like store bought. The cooking time was the same and they turned out great. The holes gave me a fit cause once they were ready to turn over they didn't want to, so it was a battle but I won. Oh, be careful when you add the eggs to the melted butter, if the butter is too hot you will cook the eggs in the bowl...not good. John
  12. Any chemical suppliers nearby? They should have it or be able to get it for you. John
  13. Look at the post I made today in Consumer Affairs about the washing machine recall. See the tiny text? I get that with about 98% of the post I make. I went back in to correct it like I always so and the page was so messed up I gave up and let it stay as it was. Any ideas? John

  15. Wormie dries himself off, runs out the door and returns with a bucket of purple paint and a pump sprayer. He proceeds to paint the room purple. He pumps up the sprayer with whipped cream and hits everyone in the room with a blast of pink whipped cream and then retreats to his corner...waiting....waiting.... John
  16. The last time I was in a food fight here two "ladies" covered my head with whipped cream. So I'm gonna try it again... Wormie sneaks up behind Cat and and drops a chocolate pie on her head. Then.... He picks up some the snowmen that Midnightmom dropped and throws them at everyone else... Then he runs and blends into the corner waiting...with a gleam in his eyes...waiting....waiting....waiting. John
