Sounds like you get out of the house a lot more than I do, though, driving around or sitting in parking lots listening to your tunes. I'm home all day and the tv is my background noise. Lots of times I listen to tunes on my Pandora channel but when it's raining the connection isn't so good ... The Kid likes How It's Made and Star Trek (TNG) so we watch those sometimes too. It's gonna be a looooong summer, lol!

I’m in the house quite a bit too, especially lately, but I usually just use my phone instead of the TV plus I mean to do stuff but then don’t and sometimes I get sick if I watch TV the entire day

I have been enjoying North Woods Law and Tree House Masters, both of which I didn't expect to like. I also like American Pickers and a couple of zoo shows. But my very favorite, which I may have mentioned before, is Forged in Fire.

The winner on one of the most recent episodes of forged in fire is from my town.

"The Adventures of the Quarantined ... Day 62."

Came downstairs this morning to an empty, topless brooder. DD is a late sleeper, so my first thought was "CATS!" Then I saw the lid, sitting neatly on the ground, intact. It's a big guinea pig cage, and the wire top generally pops apart when dropped, so, I rethought my knee-jerk panic. That led me out back to the portable run - not quite a tractor, more like a kennel without a bottom tray (ummm, cuz that's what it IS ... a kennel without a bottom tray!) No biddies.

Back to the house, where I was greeted by a drowsy, black chicken on my living room windowsill ... INSIDE on my living room windowsill.

I've finally discovered the secret to getting a teenage girl out of bed and downstairs ... in SHOES, no less, in 0 seconds, flat. Just yell The Chickens are out" up the stairs, at the top of your lungs. I swear, I have NEVER seen that child move so fast in her life ... even as a toddler!

So, twenty minutes and five Asian Black pullets later, we were desperately trying to unwedge the last little lady from behind and inside an overly-full bookshelf before she broke a wing. We managed, then collapsed on the floor in hysterical laughing as she (the pullet, not DD) settled and sulked in my hands.

It's gonna be a looooooong summer!

Cool! We have a 3' antique coal forge on our property we'd love to sell... a smith could certainly forge a sword on it. Would take some doing to move it though.

Oh I would too, mostly it's background noise while I fold laundry and do other household chores.

That makes sense!! And I did see the background bit. Sorry, wasn’t trying to imply you didn’t

I know I do though

Maybe today I’ll actually do something

But... but ... but.. how did they get out of that?

Although yesterday I did train/watch a puppy all day lol

For me it was silkies. Worst chicken experience EVER. I will never have another.

Why didn’t you like them? I have 8 right now.
