Overheard a guy at the feed store say he doesn't worm his flock 'unless they look sick'

That seems like a recipe for trouble, given how fast parasites can spread. How often do you all actually do a preventative deworming schedule?

I bought a cheap book press online and it was a huge mistake

I thought I'd save some cash and got a $40 press from a random website. The wood was warped right out of the box, and the screw mechanism stripped after maybe ten uses. I ended up having to buy a proper one for over $200 anyway, so I just wasted that first forty bucks. Has anyone found a decent budget press that actually holds up?

TIL my rock hammer almost started a forest fire in Arizona

I was trying to get a fresh surface on some rhyolite near Flagstaff and my steel hammer sparked on a quartz vein. Had to stomp out a small grass fire with my boots for five minutes before it spread. Anyone else had a close call with tools in dry conditions?

My sourdough starter took almost two months to get strong enough for a decent loaf

Local library's reading challenge has me redoing my bujo spreads

My neighborhood library just launched a summer reading challenge with different categories. I want to log my progress and book notes, but my current bujo setup isn't cutting it. Any tips for creating a spread that can handle multiple books and tracking goals? I'm considering a tracker page with columns for each book.

My lightbulb moment with stubborn jersey knit

Jersey knit gave me headaches. The curling edges ruined my seams. Tried steam and needles with no luck. Then I remembered a video about walking feet. Dug out the attachment for my machine. Tested it on scrap fabric. It worked perfectly. Applied it to my project and finished strong. Really proud of this fix.
