It's Paul again, sneaking in another entry (Tonya is threatening to kick me off her blog, please send her an email letting her know how intelectually stimulating my posts are).

I took Tonya out on a back-woods country date.  I forgot to bring beer though.  I wonder if Deb and Glenn would be impressed with my dating skills.

Here is a close-up of my girlfriend (you go girl!).  Yes that is purple and yes that is Hello Kitty in 9 m m.

This is the road I took (if the van broke down out here I was going to save money on the repair and use if for target practice).

We picked up a five week old boar out of this litter (we bought him from a farmer who does confinement raising which we don't like [the herd we are starting will graze].  Notice how the pigs are filthy, the brown ones are actually white).  That's also about five days of growth for me, I'm shaving even less now (but I am still bathing regularly).

Pigs can get really big 5-600 lbs. (and sows with litters can be dangerous if you get close).  One of these sows is the grandmother of the boar we bought.

Taking a break watching chickens, Trins is working on her hog farmer girl pose.  The netting is electric and produces a nice jolt.  These are the same chickens from two months ago.
