After the picture is taken, use the editor to make the picture 1024x768. That makes a much smaller file size and will work here. The site will optimize it a bit too

Worked a lot on quail stuff today. Here is the feeder part way through construction.
I finished it tonight, adding the front, top, hinges and hasp to lock the top so varmints can't get in.

What a strange coincidence to check this thread just when buses are being discussed...lol.

There are several reasons buses aren't equipped with seat belts. The top reason we've been told is the ability to get students off in a crisis. Two is knowing it would be extremely difficult to enforce the students to wear the seat belts. Three is because the seats on a school bus are made to scoop the students down in the event of most crashes.

Four, from my own personal experience...I can't see some bus drivers checking the seat belts to make certain they are all usable 100% of the time. One of the last times I spared for someone, that person didn't have 7 of their seats fastened down. If a few students damage the belts....you know where I'm going with that.

I ran an extremely well-behaved bus with very well educated students. I made it a point to explain why the rules were there. My first school division ran drills and such for accidents for preparation. But this is certainly not the norm across the board.

FINALLY was able to upload! Just took a while lol

Also I had to make breakfast on the stove. I normally don't really eat eggs that much but I'm starting to more. But toasting the bagel on the stove was a new experience lol I did eventually put cream cheese on it btw. Blueberry bagels

Also the more interesting and abnormal one was when I had to heat up my lasagna on the stove lol

We bought a bunch of food last night including the lasagna and cooked it. Well, we were kind of dumb and only cooked the lasagna. I hope the frozen pizzas don't go bad.

Anyway, I am glad we at least cooked something last night because now we have food.

We just had TV dinners last night haha

Did you have to use an 'enforcer' Roomie?

I never rode a school bus (close enough to walk) but both my kids did and they always had stories to tell of the crazy stuff that went on. Thankfully, there weren't any accidents like the one @DigMyChicks was talking about.

An enforcer? Ooooh, now I'm curious...what's that?

I can believe that they probably have quite the stories to tell. I've been a bus driver for 12 years now; fulltime, spare and for trips. OMG that makes me feel old.

I loved being a full-time driver, trips were only as good as the teacher/teachers in charge and I'm getting entirely too old and too crotchety to deal with the mediocrity of those I'm asked to spare drive for.
