Other people's kids.<br /><br />I will let you know when we start getting cold enough here to butcher. I kind of hope that this current weather holds out as I have 1 ripe tomato now and would like more. But I do need to butcher so the rest can survive the winter.<br /><br />I do have a nice large camper that should stay warm.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-19268012473873113292011-10-12T17:09:47.813-05:002011-10-12T17:09:47.813-05:00maybe I can get my wife to come out with me if it ...maybe I can get my wife to come out with me if it isn't close to thanksgiving. I've got a birthday coming up on the 8th, and she keeps asking what I want. Maybe I can finagle a trip to learn butchering. <br /><br />Your package is on the way. I had fragile marked on the side and the post office worker asked if there was anything fragile in it. I gave her a blank stare and pointed at the word fragile, which she promptly covered with priority mail tape.TransFarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001125745512684777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-12945445089083730612011-10-12T12:48:18.625-05:002011-10-12T12:48:18.625-05:00Wow - I would love to learn this skill.

Getting folks to help in a learning capacity is a great idea though - all parties benefit.TeeJaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-62668673431293404652011-10-12T07:50:30.154-05:002011-10-12T07:50:30.154-05:00Lisa, not from complete start to finish.

I can't do a workshop until I have a more proper shed for it. It's something we have talked about.<br /><br />Transfarmer, mid to late November. We will wait until the day time high are in the low 40's.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-80164090371193246422011-10-11T18:18:22.816-05:002011-10-11T18:18:22.816-05:00when are you planning on doing it?when are you planning on doing it?TransFarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001125745512684777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-3582976863747720632011-10-11T10:36:01.537-05:002011-10-11T10:36:01.537-05:00I would love to come and help out, but there is ju...I would love to come and help out, but there is just no way I could get there. :o(<br /><br />You should do like a butchering workshop and charge money to have people help you.
