That way I don't ask stupid questions when I feel up for asking something. I'm an engineer (geek) and my wife and I just bought 5 acres in Kentucky where we'd like to raise some animals and have a garden/orchard. A coworker recommended your podcast when she heard me talking about all my homebrewing and my desire to make cheese and raise bees. So far I've learned quite a bit about the different animals in the first 15 shows. Hopefully I'll be all caught up by christmas. Keep up the good work.

It's on it's way up, I had it in my backups down here. You really are going through the back catalog in detail eh? :) I fixed Episode 8 last night if you didn't see it already.

It runs on natural gas or lp gas, and is about the size of a central air conditioner. It seems that anecdotally, REMC delivered power is not as reliable as that supplied by more urban distributors--due to the wide ranging territory that must be covered and not by any lack of professionalism on the part of the company. Keep us updated on the generator issue. Hey Andrew and Misty,

I'll definitely mention it on the podcast as well. Hi Shell! I did finish Andrew’s sweater. Here’s my blog entry about it: Andrew?s Sweater Pix!
