He hasnt saltwater fished too much, only the past 15 years we have been together, and he loves it too! but I have to admit, NO WAY IN **** would my hubs be allowed to go without me though.... just sayin

I have been fishin down at the inlet and out from DE coast, first doing the bait; nettin spot with dad, catchin soft crabs, rakin up sand fleas for stripers since I was just a little ****!

Nice!!!!! I am jealous he did go without me but there was no way we could afford us both going. It was on his bucket list. Lol!!! I grew up fishing too! But in Alaska. So you will never catch me buying salmon in a grocery store. I'm spoiled. . Here are some photos of me...

I was 5 months pregnant in the last photo. Lol!!!!

They are huge here, but you have to run about 70 miles offshore to get to blue water. Sailfish will come in closer in the spring and early summer, but the big pelagics hang out at the ledge where it drops from 200 to 800 feet, about 70 miles from Hilton Head. That's a long ride

Yeah that's about the same from here. I forgot you had a place in Hilton head. Lol!!! The next time you and the wife are in Hilton head let me know so we can get together and have dinner and drinks. Then we can meet and you can meet the kiddos! Lol!!!

Anyways, nuff depressing.... once you eat fresh salmon you cant eat it from the store, just gags you, its not salmon I swear its some other critter

Oh....that is sad. I can see how that would make you want to not go back. In alaska the ice is like 4 ft thick. We were able to drive on the lakes. Lol! They used to make large road ways for people to drive on to get from place to another. It's crazy. Lol.

Sorry about this long quote. Busy couple of days. Sick baby and no sleep for me. Then my 8 yr old son went to visit his dad and cut his foot open but dad just put a bandaid on it. Get a call from the school nurse that he needs medical attention asap. I knew it was to late for stitches but didn't want to look like a bad parent. Spent the day in the ER with a sick baby just to be told....it's to late for stitches! Great move dad! Anyway- SC, hope work eases up. And great pics Ross and Sally!

Congrats ruby! Good to see everyone so active! Sorry about the strom damage Sorry about Nugget I have been super busy hardly able to read here for my readin everywhere. You see what had happen was

A man footed my startup bills, and the calfs cost, how was i to say No? And im treatin his auction turkey for a terrible case of bumble. And im on my way to pick up my white bresse eggs

Omg! Awesome pic! I would LOVE to bottle feed a calf!

Bull No kidding lotsa manure! But i mean, its a great oppurtunity, this mans opening doors for me in a very real sense. Lol! Yes milk on his lips, he gets Very excited about bottle time, wags his lil tail and all And thise eggs i found local to me through BYC ! Its very exciting to be hatching this breed, i think i may have found my chicken project. Theyre pure, and from the GFF lines.

That sounds great! Good luck on the set! You've got a lot of support here!

Not sure you should be posting that on the internet - his wife might find out!

This one landed yesterday in our neighbor's lawn, after almost touching the tops of our trees (in the background).

Awesome pics!!

Thanks, everyone... Too many to quote here too... and the great topper to the day was losing Burn, my blue fawn Call drake... It's days like these that make me wonder...

I didn't hear about Burn!! What the heck happened?

We are too afraid of ours to name it. above is it trying to attack my DW in her car. And below is a close up.

My 8 yr old is obsessed with black-capped chickadees! Don't think I'd show him the second pic, though.

Thinking about the egg laying process while watching my brown egg laying hens... The darkest eggs, other than those early pullet eggs or post-molt eggs, seem to be those laid very early in the morning. It seems that those eggs are held longer in the "paint booth" and gather more pigment while waiting. Those laid midafternoon seem to be the lightest. All my production brown layers are same age, same variety...RIR x RIW. I wonder if there would be a benefit, where shell color is a critical factor, to select eggs from hens who consistently lay early in the day in addition to those who lay darker eggs. While these hens may not lay highly desirable color themselves, when bred to good color lines the pullets may lay darker eggs.

I thought it was just marans that have the "paint booth"? Do regular brown layers put a coating on their eggs?

Ok I just had the strangest thing happen. We bought a 100' roll of welded wire, 4' tall. It was laying rolled up in the back of the truck. I kept hearing something, and finally noticed that one of the hens had crawled into the center of the roll. At first, I was just taking pictures, until I realized she was stuck!! I think one of her wings got caught in a square inside the roll. Luckily, she's a nice girl and I was able to reach my arm up in the roll and free her wing, and push her forward. Then had to go to the other end, and keep freeing her feet as I pulled her out the other end. Crazy bird!

Oh man. Hope she's ok. Good thinking with the zip ties!

That would be the problem for me. Too far from any coast. But having a sister with a vacation home so close the the coast would come in more handy!

I'm working on getting my parents to move off the ranch to a Gulf coast fishing cottage.
