2006/07/22 in Bees, Events, Food, Pigs, Podcast, Podcasting by andrew | 10 comments

I hope you can hear the podcast, I changed my monitor headphones and the levels seem all wrong. If you have problems please post a comment! This week we change our podcast setup a bit, and everyone in the barn is dead quiet. I’m not sure why, but there isn’t much noise in the barn. Maybe it’s just because it’s late. The topics this week:

  • Beeeeeeeeeeeees
  • New podcast setup
  • Blueberries
  • Thai food kills our power
  • Pig food that goes horribly wrong (pics to come)
  • Oshkosh in jepordy

2006/05/21 in Events, Garden, Internet, Knitting, Pigs, Podcast by andrew | 3 comments

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.
