Moderators Travis In Austin Posted March 28, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 28, 2020 Many may have seen that our Forum Friend and Brother @Rudy81 apparently has Covid-19 and has been moved to a hospital. A forum member @Chris A suggested (see below) that some audio posts and well wishes might do Rudy some good so I have featured and pinned this thread to make it easy to see. Great idea Chris. "Instead of harping on with morbid COVID-19 stories, let's keep Rudy entertained with good audio stuff on the forum--don't you think? I think he'll respond better to that. I know I would. It can help to lift the spirits. Prayers to Rudy and his family for a speedy recovery." Chris 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted March 28, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted March 28, 2020 Rudy I'm about done cooking a brisket right now, (Sat. 5:48 pm), when I'm done I am going to fire up a RTR deck and slap on a master tape in your honor.

Chris A Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 We're listening to this right now, waiting a long hour until the italian chicken is done baking--in multichannel surround 5.1. It's really spectacular, especially reclining in my zero-G chair. Perhaps you should plan on listening sometime, Rudy--after all the present activities go back to normal...and we have TT paper again.

BigStewMan Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hey Rudy my friend ... keep the faith and kick the crap out this virus. I pray for you and that your recovery is complete and swift. Take care buddy. Steve 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Smith Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I've been working on our garden the past week or two, still very much in its infancy. I have 12 beds in the final design, 4ftx28ft with 1ft walkways in between. there's cantaloupe in the bed currently, tomatoes and bell peppers on the side in buckets. Eventually there will be okra and carrots and greens and lions and Tigers and bears. We'll also be doing potato towers, fig trees, berries, etc. Today I started the initial irrigation lines from the barn in the background. We're down to two piglets. Two suffered from pneumonia with all the rain and temperature swings we've been having. One goat is about to kid. We've got some fresh chicks and ducklings, with another 10 eggs in the incubator. Oh and egg production has skyrocketed with the warmer days and longer daylight hours. Nothing really new on the audio front, but the whole family is most certainly enjoying the new setup. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I take that last bit back.. I've been listening to this album a lot lately. It's kind of peppy and quirky and just overall a fun album, though maybe not for everyone's tastes. I'm betting @BigStewMan will enjoy it. The stereo image on this album is really solid and they use it to their benefit. It's worth a listen once you get back to the house (it's on the drive) as well as everyone else if you just want something fun to play in these times.

Thaddeus Smith Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 The property is 10 acres. We're using about 3 for the house and intense farm related activities. The rest is just pasture we let go wild or use for rotational grazing. The garden we have fenced off is about 48ftx80ft. Potato tower : Some people write them off, and others swear by them. Basically a dense cylinder of straw ans compost and potatoes..sorta like a 7 layer dip. Supposedly gives high yields in a small space, but we'll see I guess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
