My records have devolved from detailed pages of notes to the number of eggs set, hatched, and quit scrawled on the wall. At the end of the year I derive the amount of clears from all the eggs not accounted for by hatched or quit.I write on a calendar too, day eggs set, intended hatch date. I don't do staggered hatches so it's pretty easy to keep up with what's going on.
Ugh, I'd forget to clean the wall after the season was over and really be mixed up with hatching.My records have devolved from detailed pages of notes to the number of eggs set, hatched, and quit scrawled on the wall.

People keep trying to get me to use digital calendars and I keep being a grump about it. I just don't feel like having to go over to the computer every time I want to see what's going on in the next week, you know? Plus, I trust Google with my information like I trust a hyena with a baby.I write on a calendar too, day eggs set, intended hatch date.

I draw a circle around everything from one year, date it, and then pick a new slice of unmutilated wall. If I ever have to sell this house, I'm going to have one heck of a repainting job on the walls!Ugh, I'd forget to clean the wall after the season was over and really be mixed up with hatching.![]()

Nope, not a rotary dial for the one on the wall but I do have one that is a rotary dial and one that can be switched from rotary output to pulse output. I can remember the days of party lines and the days of only needing to dial 5 numbers.careful......you’re gonna reveal your age!!!

I am a dirty old manand make no pretenses about it.
I remember the 5 digit days, too. I still have a rotary phone and a touch-tone, not in-use but collecting dust.Nope, not a rotary dial for the one on the wall but I do have one that is a rotary dial and one that can be switched from rotary output to pulse output.

That is from before 1-800 numbers existed.I remember the 5 digit days, too. I still have a rotary phone and a touch-tone, not in-use but collecting dust.
