Yeah I guess Conservatives just try to be nice over all and have empathy for others, something Liberals would never understand.

Since this moved to religion - Everyone for the last 6000 years (you know when man was created) was a prepper before consumerism moved to replace religion, and black Friday sales. Commercialization has subverted the orignal meaning of Christmas, capitalism perfected it!
Signed - person who believes there is a higher power...but has yet to discover it - so in the meantime, I am for individualism.
that is all the "ism's" I have today.
"I don't have to respect your belief's, I have to respect your right to hold those beliefs. The beliefs themselves command no inherent respect."
I agree to that ... and for sure the part about commercializing Christmas, as they do now to just about everything ... Easter, Weddings, Birthday Parties ... let's turn it all into one big materialistic feast!Quote:

If I might make a recommendation, if you have the room a second freezer works great oppsed to one big one. J find it helps to store larger quantities of food without the "bottom loss" of food. The problem with the bottom of a big freezer is that the stuff down there rarely gets used.Quote:

Balderdash. What does, what some Christian Romans ,writing stuff 400 years after the fact, have to do with the truth? Who started this religious part of the thread . Well GW did in post 190 by assuming that I disliked and wanted to ban Christmas. I answered on post 193 that I love Christmas , celebrate it and explained why . So no I was not the one to take this off track. Do you guys even read some of the nonsense you write, before pushing send?Quote:

I see another one that is the same size as my first one. I should buy it and sell the other one. I don't need three.

The uprights are a bit more money but easier to access stuff but not as efficient because you let out more cold air opening it according to one article, I guess it depends how often you open it. They have the same types at Lowes and Rona etc. but Home Depot had a slightly better price and a discount if you signed up for their card...which depending on if you need it, wait, cancel and cut it up in a few months.
Dang here I am thinking I need another freezer for the steer I’m butchering in January. Got two full-sized chest ones now, one is pretty well full of the three hogs I bought from my cousin back in the spring when he didn’t have a market for them. The other one is full of our own lamb and chicken and a couple hundred pounds of raw food for the Maremmas. Then 3 full-sized uprights, one for bread, baking, cheese and butter, one for vegetables and one for every day stuff
So no response to (1).Quote:

Ignore him, there are people who you can have discussion and debate and are worth the time and then there are ideologues, it requires an open mind and atleast some respect, he lacks on both. A bug when the lights come on at night will find the nearest crack, table leg to hid behind etc., there are those that just like the dark and nothing can be done until there is a change of heart. Feel free to flick the lights on him now and again but ... Proverbs 9:8Quote:

Make sure you have some kind of backup power with that much meat!
Upright freezer is definitely a plus, I had one ages ago, and it was so easy to get at everything.
Now I have a chest freezer ... and every time I see meat on sale and buy ... I have to go and unpack most
of it, to get the bottom stuff up. I'll do it every time, because I hate the thought of having to throw away
any meat.
I’ll probably get one at some point, demographics seems to point to being able to sell a lot more lamb locally in the future and it’s a good way to sell the ones that don’t fit in nice uniform groups to send through Cookstown

The companies like TruLocal and Butcherbox are growing more and more it seems. Depending on the volume you are looking to sell they may be a way get more sold. At that point larger freezers would be a big must. If properly insulated and good equipment the electric charges maybe less than what you have now.Quote:

One freezer is for wild game (has 4 Camp deer it right now waiting to go in for pepperetts) . It also holds my wife's bee frames that she uses in the spring to feed them. Nice to have one for overflow.
One freezer is for meat. I buy stuff on sale and keep that separated in milk crates.
One freezer is for the day to day stuff, bread, ice cream, fast food etc. Again everything in milk crates.
We were going to scale back to two...but we seem to always need them. We don't fill them more than 3/4, extra space better than too full.
Again with the same old ? ......proverbs 26:11 for you.Quote:

With something like truLocal they buy, directly package it up and ship... grass fed beef, water buffalo, good selection, here are the Ontario suppliers. https://trulocal.ca/our-suppliersQuote:

In this world you exchange time for money, time at work earns you money, paying a bit extra for delivery gains you back the hour or two you would spend driving, shopping and driving back... all while wearing a mask and social distancing and causing some stress with yourself and/or family about you being in crowds during COVID.
Companies like Ubereats, Skip the Dishes and a dozen others focus on restaurants, truLocal, Butcherbox and a bunch others mostly meats and local produce which would likely have a hard time getting into markets. Convenience, selection and opportunity for local business seem good to me. With LCBO I can pick items that aren't in local stores like the Sake made in Ontario and the Dragon Gold cider from Barrie, but if you like driving to the store, wandering around looking for items, waiting in lines (socially distanced of course) and then driving home... enjoy. Unless it is Cabelas/BassPro or Canadian Tire or Sail I never liked shopping and good riddance to as much of it as I can.
I choose from this point forward to not play with FC trolls anymore..I will give him nothing to do..lol.
I am looking for a full size freezer now, for the spring. Have a few more electrical circuits installed and tied to Gen panel before that..lots to do.
hahahhhahhahaQuote:

The genset I have is 50R-14 (I think), 50 amp rating and it produces 67 amps surge and 57 amps constant. There is 2 X 30R twist locks on the genset, but not feeding the house (currently under deck in back, in geny box I built for it). Eventually once steel building is built, it will move to it inside and exhausting out wall. That 50 amp connection is perfect for welder and high amp tools I have. Final set up Quonset hut bldg will have separate genset plugs wiring...just have to start building the pad in the spring. All part of the 5 year plan for farm. Worst case is I have 2 other genys that are backup for exactly what you write about or the main one breaks down.Time, I ran out time this year......lol
