Good for you.
I haven't had hard liquor since my teens. It never set well with me - except for the occasional margarita at a Mex restaurant.
I need to quit beer for a while, mostly to help with weight.

Yep!
I used to refer to those as 1:31 girls. I've met a few.
(those still at the club at closing time)

Truth is, I don't have to squint. I just take my glasses off.

I wear leather work gloves, cut it with sheet metal shears or a side grinder with a cutting wheel, and, if cutting from a roll of wire, hang the roll off the edge of the table or work bench to keep it out of the way, and, if necessary, clamp the wire in place. I try to cut h/w cloth as close as possible to the edge of a square to minimize the wires that eat you up...I've donated my share of blood to projects that entail cutting the nasty stuff. You mentioned it being hard to bend...try clamping it in place and bending it over the edge of a board, table, or bench. If you don't let it slip, you can get a nice even bend. If you need more than a 90* angle, put it on a solid surface & tap it down with a hammer. Easy peasey

Good gloves are essential
When building cars, among my first jobs was running power window and door lock wiring through the doors and running dome light wires down through both B-pillars to the switches near the bottom of the doors. The holes in the sheet metal are stamped and have many sharp edges and burs. Add to that you had to complete each job in less than a minute. I've left enough of my skin in Grand Marquis shipped all over the world to clone myself many times over.

Hey yall I got a question about weasels how can I keep them from getting into my coop

Close off all openings above 1/2", all ventilation needs to be covered with 1/4" hardware cloth.

I finally found out how the mink were getting into my once Fort Knox of a coop.
The floor of the external nest boxes are 1/8" hardware cloth. When I was running electric to the coop, the conduit ninety coming out of the trench came up under the nest box so I had to cut a 1" hole in the hardware cloth to take the fishtape for pulling the wire. That was the only opening in the building that large.

I worked once for a guy who raised Scotch Highland cattle; the ones with the shaggy coats & horns like a Texas Longhorn. He fed round bales inside a tube steel ring that kept them from trampling hay into the ground. One of the guys showed up for work one morning & there stood one of them with his head stuck in the ring in such a way that he couldn't lay down. He must've been there a while, 'cause his legs were getting wobbly from supporting his weight, possibly all night. I hate to think of his fate if he hadn't been discovered when he was. I don't remember whether we had to cut the ring or were able to turn his head & work the horns free.

It makes me think about the horrible deaths of deer and other animals that get hung up in fencing.

If you are in the Central time zone like I am, Eastern time zone will be an hour later than you. Mountain time will be an hour earlier and Pacific time will be 2 hours earlier.

By plane or a long boat ride across the Atlantic, through the straight of Gibraltar and then across the Mediterranean sea.

Right below his avatar it says MD, that's the modern abbreviation for Maryland - that's a state in the middle of the Eastern seaboard.
At least half of the people show their location in the same place.

Where they banty cochins? Higher humidty is great for smaller eggs, like silkies and banties, because they lose too much weight otherwise. Mine are giant cochin eggs from my own flock, and I've hatched lots of them. Even with the low humidity they didn't lose enough weight and the AC are still smallish. That is my concern.

I threw them in with the ducks for funsies. I'm meeting the needs of the duck eggs, first and foremost. Any chicken eggs that survived the journey are just lagniappe.

Such a good reason to refrain from mixing eggs in an incubator. Each setting, ideally, should be of one breed and size.

MC, jars have endless possibilities! The ones I'm painting are the ones my store-bought spaghetti sauce comes in.

Yesterday I did an olive oil bottle.


Your canning jars are like jelly jars or bigger? I'm nearly out of jars, moving on to beer bottles next.

We have boxes full of nicely shaped used liquor bottles. Nice for crafty things.

You def don't want to ruin those old jars with paint, then. I have tons of jars and bottles all around the house. I put bird nests in them, or seasonal flowers, or flame less candles.

I like stuff.

The chickens have dug up lots of cool old bottles out of the yard.

Yeah I feel ya on that one!!!! I had my reservations. But the set it and forget it option was the kicker.... When I am on 12 hour days which is more like 14 because of my drive & I get home only to get back up a few hours later, it ended up being worth it to be by me not doing something stupid and falling asleep and forgetting to check, adjust, turn etc or taking the time to make everything perfect for the hatch... you know all the stuff you do with "responsible" hatching-especially when you are dealing with rare, expensive or fragile eggs! Plus I am back to work for now, my hubby is done traveling and we don't have kids so we are blessed as far as being able to splurge every once in a while. Maybe one day if my wrist gets back to semi normal. I'll buy one as a "prize" on the games with eggs thread!!!!

Sorry for the spelling mistakes.
Didn't think about Louisiana!
The aquarium themp for Cichlids and outer tropical fish should be 26C-28C 24/7.
