Well, Misty’s out of town this week so we tried to record another double ender. Except it didn’t work, so you get the audio from my end instead. Which means it sounds like Misty’s in a tin can. This weeks podcast covers:

• Misty’s travels
• Internet access on the road and at home
• How not to move the portable fencing
• Chores alone
• Misty’s afghan. It’s done after 1.5 years!
• Send us feed back! gfl@three-elms.com

I hope everyone enjoys the show. As Dave from Chub Creak pointed out to me, we made the top page of the podcast section at yahoo. I don’t know how long it’ll be up, but check it out. Interestingly enough it hasn’t really changed the download stats. I dunno if that says anything about us and our listeners, or more about yahoo?

I hope everyone has a good week. Next week Misty will be back and we’ll have a more normal podcast, but maybe we’ll have it outside? What did you think?

Hi everybody! We now have a voicemail line. We’ll announce it on the podcast of course, but for your calling pleasure, it is:

206-338-5944

We’d love to hear from you! Don’t forget to let us know if you have any objection to us playing your message on the air.

Well maybe you can tell, Misty and I recorded the podcast late Saturday night after we both had a long day so we’re a tad bit grumpy with each other. Oh well, that’s life. So no guessing about where the title came from. :)

A late arrival was the new bumper from Mark at Hoosier Geeks. I have to work in some background music, but we couldn’t stop laughing when we heard them.

In this weeks episode:

• Hello to John
• New Internet connection progress
• Focus on pigs
• Animal news
• Misty’s afghan she’s knitting
• Fiber festival
• Garden update

I hope everyone enjoys it. As always we appreciate any and all feed back. Either as comments on this entry, though the contact form, or emailed to gfl@three-elms.com.

I recorded this in our kitchen May 10th when we decided to make some butter for the first time this year. The first step is to separate the cream from the milk. Since the cream doesn’t float to the top of the milk like cows milk we use a cream separator. You get to hear me assembling the machine, separating some cream, etc.

A couple of pictures might help as well:
