    Hey guys... I got over my Covid after only 4 or so days and immediately developed benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). So a day and a half of extreme vertigo and throwing up all the time and then a slow taper back to normal. It was much more unpleasant than the covid for me. But... I seem to be much better this afternoon, so hope to start getting out and making videos in a few days. Sorry for the lack of videos lately, I do have raw footage from before that I'll try to get edited and published over the next few days. Happy to be back at it!

    Aquachigger, you are the best at what you do. I've watched many you tube detectorist and they make the hobby of metal detecting too complicated with all their different views on metal detecting with their multi-frequencey vs single freq. silly antics. This takes away the fun of metal detecting and causes confusion. It appears that you have the knowledge and experience, plus the ability to have fun at this hobby. This makes enjoyment for the viewer. Keep up the good work.

    Hi Chig. I see folks are already mentioning how hard is to have a dairy farm. Farmer can't go anywhere unless he can have a go to crew or his kids to milk. Milk should be more expensive if people could see the process! I salute the dairy farmers of Wisc.!

    Chig glad you survived the secondary vertigo okay!! Oh my ! And thank you for this beautiful video. I grew up in the summers around Lynden, on the BC border, where EVERY farm was a beautiful Dutch farm WITH dairy cattle. Thankfully, most of those families know the importance of home grown food and dairy for all the community, so most of them hang on, and will not sell out to anybody. As far as I am concerned, all farmers and ranchers who hang in there are heroes, dairy families especially because yes, it might be the most demanding branch of agriculture. THANK you Chig. that rubber chicken!! very funny but scared me at the start, made me jump ! :)

    Running a dairy, there are no days off. The cows need to be milked every morning and at the end of every day. My hats off to the small farm dairy. Alot of them could never take a vacation unless they had others that could come in and do it all for a time.

    My in-laws have been dairy farmers for many decades now. I wasn't much into it, but I did help daily before marrying their daughter, and then every so often in the early years of my marriage because we lived abit aways from them in NY. A few years back, one of their nice silos exploded. About 1/5 of the top was blown off and thrown quite a distance along with warping about halfway up to the top. The explosion could be heard several miles away late in the night.

It could be saved though but would take a lot of wood and work! Interesting the placement of the corncrib. I wonder is the owner selling this property? I cracked up over the rubber chicken! lol

  • @artszabo1015
    @artszabo1015 Год назад

    That old saw is not for sawing lumber. It is a 'buzz saw' for cutting firewood. The log would lay in that ray and then swing into the blade. They ran off a flat belt from a tractor or hit&miss stationary engine. Sometimes they were mounted on the front of the tractor and you could drive it to the woodpile. This was before chainsaws. We had one when I was a kid, even though we had chainsaws.

    Hello Chigg. Glad you are recovering from your Covid crud. Everyone is different with their experience and how it affects them. It took me about 10 days to fully recover.
    I like guessing how old these buildings are from the clues that are sitting around. The mixture of hand hewn and saw cut lumber tells me this farm has a long history. The chop saw was of special interest because they don't make these like that anymore. That one looked like the pulley has been robbed from it. It was likely driven by a belt from a tractor. I'm guessing this dairy barn was built post war and was probably in use, maybe into the 1980s. Am I close?
