Cold is on the Right, Hot is on The Left
OK, these are the skills I've learned this year...
1) Use of hammer
2) Learned how to put pills down a calf's throat (virtually the same for every animal, but I won't do cats!)
3) Learned to use cross cut saw
4) Learned how to use manual post hole digger, and dug posts for new poultry pen.
5) Learned how to clean a horse's (or in my case pony's) hooves with a hoof pick.
6) Learned how to trim that same pony's hooves.
7) Learned to use a weedeater
8) Learned how to make jam! with a water bath canner.
9) Learned how to take an alternator off my Jeep, and put the new alternator on!!!!!!
Skills I already had:
1) chickening
2) can ride a horse (if it's already broke!)
3) mow
4) can read a measuring tape
5) good with housekeeping
6) CPR certified
7) I know how to assist an animal with delivery
8) Some medical training (ie. I can check blood pressure, temps, pulse, respiratory thanks to medical assistant classes)
9) Can grow a garden, but not the greenest thumb I know
10) I can fish, just don't make me clean 'em
11) I can cook over an open fire
12) I can wash clothes in a large kettle over the same open fire (after dinner)
13) I know how to sew by hand
14) can do machine quilting
15) I know how to barter
16) I know some of which wild plants are edible
17) I'm loud and can be heard from quite a distance, comes in handy if someone has lost the direction back to camp...
18) Thanks to DH, I can recognize and name several different types of trees
