On the homestead blog: your weekly flock update. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓

For week/year 32 of my 52 years celebration, from 2002: me in some summer snow on Mount Hood. #ThrowbackThursday #52years
The answer to today’s #WhatsItWednesday question: it’s part of an aerial photo of our homestead from 2001, showing where the pond would be. The framed picture came with the house, and the red dot on it indicates we’ll leave it with the house. Bonus: pics from 2015 and 2021.
Let’s play What’s It Wednesday again. What do you think this is? Kinda a trick question; I want as specific an answer as possible. #WhatsItWednesday
Since some people asked, our estate sale is scheduled for September 9-12. The old Macs I’m selling include:
- Original iMac G3 (powers on, drive doesn’t mount).
- Graphite iBook G3 (power supply dead).
- 2005 Mac mini G4 (powers on, I couldn’t get it to display anything).
- PowerMac G5 (works).
- Old-school clear plastic Apple Cinema Display and Apple Cinema Display HD (works with G5), and aluminum Cinema Display HD.
- 2006 MacBook Pro (works on power supply only).
- 2008 MacBook Pro (works).
- Two mid-2011 iMacs (works).
- 2013 MacBook Air (works).
- 2017 iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch (works).
- About 10 hard drives of various sizes.
- A bunch of spare keyboards etc.
- I also have a bunch of ancient iPods, iPhones, iPads, and Palm devices, and various other stuff.
They will be included in the estate sale in September. Put it on your calendar if interested in them, or our other stuff. It’s going to be a huge event! Sorry, no advance sales.
(Everything in that picture will be for sale, other than the contents of the two plastic bins on the floor.)
As part of preparing for our estate sale, I’m wiping my many old Macs and hard drives, all of which will be sold. Here’s my old PowerMac G5, running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. (If anyone in the Portland region wants some old Macs, plan to come to the sale!) 🖥
We have a sign on our entertainment shelves, that we changed to “NOW SHOWING” for our real estate showings. The other day, Paladin knocked it over, with some letters falling off, resulting in it saying “SHWING”. We were amused.
Rory and Paladin being cute again. 🐕🐈
Well, that’s very disappointing. The deal on the RV we were purchasing has fallen through. So now we’re back to the drawing board, searching for another coach. We’ve still got time, but that was a perfect one for us; we were so excited to find it. Alas!
On the homestead blog: also starting the last month of Caturdays. Since people have asked, fear not, the new owner of our homestead will be caring for all of our animals: the feral cats, ducks, chickens, and even the bees. #Caturday 🐈
