Wheeee, that is fantastic! Nice Gopher snake, and yes, they are here, which means the ground squirrels, mice, and other furry, burrowing things are too. Missing any eggs?

Someone was going to step on it, and I thought I could save it from a squashy death. I was sort of drunk. And all dressed up. Good times.

Dr. Bob called and the report stated that the gallibacterium that all chickens have must have gone awry in her system and she went septic which probably caused her heart to stop. He said this was a bizarre case. For the most part, the report states she was a very healthy gal. The report also stated that she was not ready to lay eggs yet. I pick up the report tomorrow so I can read it thoroughly.
!!!!! So jealous. I was a custom woodworker/custom finisher before I went back to grad school. I can't do anything with a circular saw (they drive me nuts), but hey, give me a BIG cabinet table saw (I love Powermatic) and I am a happy camper. Swoon. I never did learn how to weld, and I really want to. Someday...
Anyway, I would not use sander dust or dust from table saws. It is too fine, will mat down and be a pain to deal with, and, based on my lungs, I think hard on the chickens respiratory system, too. The planer and even joiner shavings ought to be fine though. In the shop I was in, we set up a bypass system with some baffles so we could cut off the draw from the dust collector and have it only pull from what was currently in use. This may not work in a classroom setting, but just a thought.
That's what I was thinking too. No economical way to sieve out the fines though, it all winds up in a 55 gallon drum. Hmmmmm... Maybe that Pain in the butt student who needs something to do...
