I've beeen using Opera for probably a decade now and love it.  Solid platform and has a built in Ad blocker & VPN.

Only downside, sometimes certain websites will give me trouble when I need to do video conferencing (probably due to pop-up blocker).
On those rare occasions, I'll use Firefox to get by.

Do you find the geese helpful in other areas besides the eggs? In other words, are the eggs a byproduct of another more primary purpose for keeping geese?



I've heard they do a good job of "sounding the alarm" if any preditors appear (including the two-legged variety).

How does the goose egg compare to a chicken egg?




Taste-wise, they are about the same. Goose eggs are great when scrambled but not so good for pan-frying (they're a little tough).

I hear that people who like to bake tend to prefer goose eggs.

After noticing how dry it gets in my cattle panel greenhouse, I decided to try using them to create a woodshed and it's working quite well.

I made this one using four cattle panels, ten T-posts, a 12'X16' tarp and some bungee cords. Pallets are optional but recommended.  The T-posts are weaved through the bottom of the panels to spring them into form. The panels need to be over-lapped at the T-posts and zip-tied to one-another to keep them in place and provide rigidity.

The whole thing went together pretty quick (maybe an hour). Pro-tip: if possible, stack the wood first then set the T-posts and cattle panels in place. It's much easier to stack the wood without having to go through the ends. The cattle panels are great for attaching bungee cords to or zip-tie the tarp in place.  All in all, I was able to store around 5 cords in an 8'x16' space.

Best part is, it can be easily relocated or repurposed. I like to make my wood piles work "double-duty" and use them as a form of mulch. This method allows me relocate them without much effort and it's a good way to get rid of undesirable plants, such as bind weed, poke weed or briars.
