On the banks of County Ditch 12. Trained weather spotter. Serious about gardening/canning. Townships/lector/usher.

@TimFredrickson Based upon when I took it, entirely possible.

The pain is most real for...the silos. Everything is gone and only the forgotten silos remain. #lonelysilos

@BluesnBaseball NFS.

Night two of cleaning out the old car garage. I have been to more flea markets, garage sales, and farm auctions than any guy my age has a right to. But never seen a set of these before.

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@TimFredrickson That is also apt.

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@TimFredrickson Knew an old-timer who always said, “If the farm had a Harvestore Silo, they had to be doing ok. If they had two Harvestore Silos, they were dang well off. If they had three Harvestore Silos, they were broke.”

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@TimFredrickson Like most things I start on Twitter, I lose interest. Like #lonelysilos, for example. That was a good one, though, wasn’t it?

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@GirlGopher @wx_dave If we try it, you can bet your bottom dollar that those will be the words.

@wx_dave This farm was wired in 1945 by my great uncle, Walter. Wally came home from The War with an Oak Leaf Cluster and the shrapnel in his arm to go with it. Huge respect. But...do I dare test the now 75 year old Knob and Tube wiring?

@bbroxey Rock on.

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@bbroxey Pretty sure this is my all-time favorite. I have one more I’ll run by you soon. But put this one on the list. I mean, look at that can. Red Bull may give you wings, but this thing actually turns you into a full-blown Thunder Bird by the night’s third can.

@RandBallsStu @cooperlund @dbrauer St. Wendel Township. Big assumption it is me.

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@RandBallsStu @bbroxey Thank you, Stu. That is my high water mark. I was focused on commercial grade cheladas.

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@rjbielat Ha. It was until about two years ago. My dad had a scrapper out to get rid of some stuff.

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

Bought the family farm in 2016. Since then, been using the old car garage for storage. Tired of scraping windshields every morning all winter. Decided time to clean it out. The first gem: Metal fish net. Not sure on the vintage. But also have replacement nets for it.

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@wx_dave Nope. But you are welcome to come out post-covid.

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@bbroxey With you on Modelo over two of the Buds (Bud Chelada, BL Chelada). The best in the Bud Family is Bud Picante. So it and Modelo are close. Fuego is the newborn in the family and is the spiciest. Skip the Bud Mango and Bud Extra Lime. The family is happy they can’t visit this year.

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@BluesnBaseball @wx_dave Not yet. But we have 18 outbuildings here across 132 years of family. So entirely possible.

[CD12 Josh @CD12Josh]

@wx_dave I found some 100+ year old “slaw slicers.” What we would now call a cheese grater. I’ll get a pic.
