We stopped in on the way home from our weekly shopping, and checked out the rabbit situation. The rabbits will be a breeding trio ($35) of either American Chinchilla or Silver Fox. Either way, heavy weights, with good fur. Guess I'll have to get busy and assemble & hang the cages.

If I were a real masochist, instead of just a dilettante, I would also buy one of their Dexter cows. Instead, I'll leave that for the friends we sold 20 acres to.

I like that ponzi scheme idea; but I think I'll just advertise in the back of comic books:

BOYS! You too easily can make B.I.G. M.O.N.E.Y. raising rabbits in your basement!

Got some more free styrofoam insulation today, in the form of 4 produce boxes at the store. The distributor doesn't want them back, so the produce manager is happy to let us have them.

Turns out our local (20 miles) sawmill is now selling 1000 foot bundles of 8', bark on, log cants (outside cut) for $80--$60 for 6'. Momma already has a long list of projects to use a bunch of them. Makes me double glad I also bought a framing nailer when I bought the shingle nailer.

Oh, Man! Don’t get me started on Dexters! I so very badly want one! :) Maybe Dad will buy me one come Spring? He’s rather indulgent of his ‘Farm Gal Daughter’ who he raised on The Mean Streets of Milwaukee and is constantly amazed and perplexed at how much she loves Farm Life, LOL!
