Back to 100%! Appetite is back, energy levels are better now, I think sleeping in until 11 this morning got me over the hump and back where I needed to be.

Great news!

Quote: I bet I know the salmon river you're talking about, too.Can't call the name of it; I know it starts with a "P". Polaski?
Never been there myself, but my son has, a couple times. That seems to be the "go to" fishery for Salmon.
Racine, WI, and several other towns/cities along the shores of Lake Michigan have what's called "Salmonorama" every year. The only way I can describe it is "Wild"! Guys (and gals) drop whatever they're doing to pitch a tent on the concrete sea wall for a week, hoping for the "big one" I've seen some of those "big ones"; they're certainly impressive.
OOPS! Sorry for the repeat post...brain's not fully functional quite yet.

Good morning, ChickenCanoe!

Good Morning!!!

Y'all have been busy. I was away 14 hours and now I'm 68 pages behind. I can't hang.

A couple news items.
When I left for pool league yesterday, there was one chick out and 7 pips of the 12 eggs. I just checked and there are 7 chicks, one zipping and another pipped. The only egg without action thus far is one I put a question mark on a week ago because it wasn't as advanced as the others. However 2 days ago it had filled the egg so it may just be behind the others. It was one of the oldest eggs of the lot. They were due 15 hours ago so even this one isn't much over 1/2 day late. They're all from the same hen so I would have expected them to be nearly a day between the oldest and newest but most came right on time.

Pool league was a pleasant change of fortune. This was week 5 and we had yet to win a match but we won last night. Each week only one of our players played well and that isn't a recipe for success. It was a different player each week.
I won all 4 of my games and the last 2 were against the best player in the league. So we only needed 5 wins between my other 3 teammates. (race to 9 wins).
My son wasn't there because he had opening night Blues hockey tickets.

Everyone have a good day. As usual, I have lots to do and I keep getting farther behind.

Just letting everyone know the chick is starting to eat!

That would be a good thing!
