I love my impact driver, told hubby I am going to need a new one soon. I about wore out the old one.

Which one do you have (and which would you like to have if different)? I think I need one.

The sun is currently shining right in my face. Maybe it will help with this situation.

Hmmm, looked like that at my house this morning too. No real sun because it is kinda cloudy. The snow is slowly disappearing in the balmy 35°F temp with wind gusts in the low 30s.

My third bird to turn broody in a week is in jail I really don't like to put them there, but I simply can't cope with another broody right now. I didn't know they were like London buses - you wait for ages for one, then 3 come along together!

That reminds me, I need to go out and check on Betty. She was in the community nest box after roost time last night. I moved her to the roosts. Back in there this morning. I threw her out, she went back in after breakfast. If she's still in that box it is back to jail for her It will be the second time this year already!!!!! ENOUGH!!! I have no rooster, parking on a nest is NOT useful.

Good morning Shad; thanks for the coffee.
How are your broodies doing? Are you letting them hatch any or trying to break them? or indeed, still looking for them

The broodies are wandering around swearing at all and sundry. One is sitting on an empty nest looking decidedly defiant. She'll come around in time.
I have found them all, or at least they are all roosting in their respective coops atm. I think I am one nest missing judging by the escort call location.
I can't let any more sit and hatch for the forseeable future. I just can't afford to feed more mouths and/or build new coops. The only tribe that isn't at maximum capacity (two roosters and six hens) is Tribe 3. I was fortunate in having a young man further up the mountain take Knock most recent offspring off my hands. Knock didn't seem the slightest bit concerned at their sudden absence.

I'm convinced it's catching. They have meetings and plan.

That is very nice of them! My Mom's great grandfather came to the US during that time

Home Depot had the AC in stock and I used curbside pickup. The old was removed and I got it down stairs without too much trouble. The new one is installed and working well.

I replaced the electrical socket because the old AC scorched it. The new socket is rated for 20 amps
