Homesteading is like anything else. You have your dorks, your dweebs, your geeks, we exist in every community. The other homesteading dorks out there will understand this: I got a new milk bucket! I am so excited!
How can I be excited about a bucket you ask? Well, for one thing, the sucker cost $39.95 
. Stainless steel, no seams, nowhere for bacteria to hide out. Too cool. Now, my other milk bucket was also stainless steel & seamless, BUT, it was only 2 gallons. My new bucket is 3 gallons! See? Now do you understand the excitement, the happiness, the giddy "new bucket" joy?
Well, the geeks do. The dorks. The homesteading dweebs like me who have goats & chickens & 3 gallon milking buckets in their kitchen.
I think the cow liked it too 
.
Blessings.
Congratulations. They say the first step is admitting you have a problem. ;0) Now that you've gone first, I feel much braver.

It's not a bad thing to get excited about getting a bucket...I about fell over myself when we installed our wood furnace.
ReplyDeleteI can only dream of being a homesteading dork.....I'm a city-fied dork. :(
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday we can be dorks together...
I am so jealous! I want a new bucket! (heck, I'd even take your old one!). Of course,
ReplyDeleteIf you give me a bucket, I'm going to want a goat or cow to go with that.
And if you give me a goat or cow, I'm going to need a field to put her in.
And if you give me a field, then I'm going to want a barn (small is fine!)
And if you give me a barn, I'm going to want to live nearby, so I will need a house (or if the barn is big enough I'll live in there, too)
And if I have a house I will want to fill it with children.
And if i have a houseful of children they will need to be kept busy (it is starting to look like a farm here, after all)
And to keep them busy, I will teach them to milk a goat and/or cow.
And if they're going to milk, they will need a shiny, ss, seamless bucket for their very own.
And if you give a kid a bucket, they will need their own goat or cow....
:)
That was fun!
glad you got your bucket!!! Thanks for the wonderful laugh. I wonder if I am a dork, gweeb, or geek?
ReplyDeleteI am dreaming of a double walled-with freezable-coolant, 5 gallon tote- and of course, stainless steel, seamless, with a strong handle and nice tight lid.
My buckets have to be smaller and shorter for the milking process, but MAN I am tired of carrying 3 buckets into the house every time.
