We’re taking the thanksgiving weekend off thanks to the Allisons who put together a great retrospective of the early episodes. It’s a ton of work putting these together so I hope you find it enjoyable. Thank you very much guys.

Monday night I’ll try to get a video extra online for those of you that need something new this week. :)

Barncast 84 has been recorded, and it’s on my harddrive, but I haven’t got all the pictures online and everything together and online. It’s 11pm and I have to be up at 5am so I’m going to be. I’ll try and get online tomorrow (monday) morning.

It’s almost midnight, it’s been very busy here today. So let’s keep this short and sweet:

Show 73 is a little windy, oh well it’s summer time podcasting. This weeks show gets to the point pretty quick because we have SIX yes 6 calls to the Farm Phone (206-202-GOAT) and they are all wonderful calls. We liked one call so much it becomes the topic of the farm section, what to do with Swiss Chard. It’s a great plant, easy to grow, easy to cook, and really pretty. Why don’t we see it more?? In the show this week:

• Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT
• Tech details, on how we do the show
• Turning Sheep out
• Unfriendly bottle lambs?? Hair sheep?
• Peg makes cheese! http://peg-woolinmysoup.blogspot.com/
• Omly is overrun by Swiss Chard
• Dealing with Bee Stings
• Round Up, a little slower this week
• Farm Section: Chard

It’s summer so we’ve basically stopped podcasting from the barn for a bit, it just get’s way to hot up in the hayloft (attic) of the barn when it’s >90f/30c outside and the sun is beating down on the roof all day. Instead we’re out back on our patio, with the birds and the wind that picked up due to thunderstorms close by.

We have a less serious show this week. We blaze through the round up in record time, let us know what you think. The main topic is a reality check. Inspired by the end of the downshiftme podcast we cover what our expectations of work and interests were and then look at the reality of it. While we’ve covered a similar topic about 30 shows ago, we look at our situation more and what we are up to.

In the show:

• Intro and Welcome
• Farm Phone: 206-202-GOAT
• Tom and sheep milk
• Peg from Vancouver Island
• Omly from Boston
• Round Up
• Reality check, our goals and reality
