He's been working here since 6/21. He likes it and is doing well so far.

That's a good start!

Don't hold your breath.
I've been trying to instill the importance of having a decent credit score and how to achieve it.
He bought a ring for his girl friend that he couldn't afford and wasn't making on time payments. My BIL was riding him about finding out what he owes and getting it taken care of.
I had him log on to Credit Karma and found out that his credit score is less than 480 and late payments are the least of his worries. He has TWO collection accounts on his report. I told him what he needed to do to take care of it and he didn't do it. He still utterly lacks in motivation.
Hopefully he will find and put on his Big Boy Panties very soon.

Might still need some more time to adjust and grow into them.

About 6 years ago, someone at work told me he was hoping he could retire when he was 65 (he was 33 at the time). I laughed and said I was retiring at 59.5, as soon as I could access my IRA without penalty. He looked at me and said, "No, you can't retire until you're at least 62 so you can get Social Security!" (I'm pretty sure he knew what my pay rate was.) I smiled, shook my head, and thought, Just watch, boy, just watch.

This is my plan.
Although, I've only been working 2 days a week lately and MAN, is that easy! Kinda the best of both worlds.

The owl is recovering

Pictures??

Good afternoon everyone!

Apart from a few minor trifles, the brand new poultry netting is finally up, pheeeeew!

But right the first night an owl got caught and entangled itself badly, so I had to cut my brand new netting to get the owl out without strangling or injuring it even further by trying to untangle the mess without cutting into the netting.
The owl is recovering and the netting repaired, so no mayor harm done. And starting next weekend the pullets (by then 11 weeks old) will be able to enjoy the whole area.

Overcast grey sky with winds and rain in the forecast. And I wonder where did the nice summers of my childhood go?

Good job on the poultry netting!

No, that is the owl we had to cut out of the brand new netting today. It was all tangled up and is now recovering.

Nice job! An extra set of hands would also have been able to take some pictures of everything.

Today I had an extra set of hands, so if you care to see the toe and the following procedure...

And here are the pictures of some of the gunk I had to remove today. As this was already the third time the hole filled up with pus again, I gave him Azythromycin as well and will continue to do so for at least 5 days.

As my photographer was feeling sick just thinking about what was to come, he left in mid procedure and I don't have any pictures of pulling the remains of the splitted toe nail, the flushing, dressing, bandaging etc.
