You let that nasty greasy bone on your bed? Gross.

Started at 161 in line, not including standing outside for thirty minutes just to get in. We’re now 70th in line.
Serves me right for being sick so long and not changing my name SEVEN MONTHS AGO.

Lol

That is the dog bed silly....I'm not that nuts.

Ah okay.
Correction, you ARE that nuts, just not that gross.

The poor faker didn't know what to do with the bone at first. I probably broke his heart a little when I took it away.

You took it??? Poor little Faker!

@Tesumph how long have you been at the DMV? They are poop heads everywhere in the country. At least here in NOLA and in Houston. Good luck hope you get done today and don't have to go back tomorrow!

We have both. It can be 114° in summer and -12° in winter. You NEVER get used to the weather. Ever.

How are you still alive at those temps?

Here in Texas we can have both those temps in the same day!

Seriously a couple years back it was in the nineties and then the temperature dropped do much that it snowed and it actually accumulated!

With the heat we continue on like normal except we try to schedule any outdoor chores early in the morning or later in the evening. Most people try not to do anything outside in the midday hours. Drink lots of fluids and watch out for signs of heat stroke. As much as I complain about the heat now, I remember a few years ago when we had 68 straight days of over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit.

We are having high heat and humidity here as well. since this is a hatching thread, I have a question, does heat effect the sex of chicken eggs, like it does gator eggs?

Lunch...all on the grill.

That lunch is screaming Texas to me.

I'm in California and we are having grilled shrimp for lunch, lol.

There is some small evidence that if you run hotter or colder, the eggs that survive might have a slightly skewed gender percentage, but it doesn't change the gender.

That's kind of what I thought, That chicken egg sex is decided at fertilization, like humans. But was wondering, cause heat does effect gator egg sex.
