I don't post a whole lot but I'm really excited for band season this year lol. Brendon's first parade of the season was today...They're doing a "Haunted Highlanders" theme this year and it's going to be a ton of fun. They have tombstone props and some kids are being zombies for the halftime show this year lol. This is from the Fireman's Jubilee parade today

How cool! I cant wait till Luke is older, he is playing clarinet in elementary but wants to switch to base clarinet but WOW no way can I swing price. Braces yes instrument hmmmm ughhhh I priced used, I cant imagine new!

I was flag leader in high school, back when we had big flags to twirl, loved whipping that sucker around, marching in them boots sucked but other than that was fun to practice and come up with routines. go figure no pictures in history of that time though

Gosh darn it, I lost my favorite chick. It had amazing coloring, and I was thrilled to see how it would turn out. This is the first hatchling I've lost. Why did it have to be this one?

On another note, I'm having a REALLY hard time convincing myself to wait to hatch again until spring. This is so addictive! I even looked on Ebay again, lol. Logic shall prevail, because I want to either get more local eggs, or order from the place I got my first eggs from (all the eggs that didn't hatch were my fault). And I don't want to fuss with babies in frigid temps. So I'll wait. I mean it, I'll wait!

sorry about the baby, addictive really? I had no clue! Ask on your local site here for hatching eggs @Uff Da try to avoid shipped

Hi I have a question .I tried hatching out red jungle fowl eggs I ordered from a breeder on eBay. I placed the eggs right sided up in an egg carton and tilted them 3times a day. The air cell's were a mess. The temperature gauge on the janoel12 incubator read 38 . 2 degrees Celsius and 49% humidity. On the 8th day I candled them and I could see the chicks eyes They were developing. So far I lost only 8 eggs 0ut of 16 pretty good for shipped eggs . the eggs were rare and expensive so I was concerned. On day 18 it was time for lock down. I boosted the humidity to 56%. I could not stop thinking I did something wrong. After the 3rd day of lock down I still don't see any hatches or pips . I continued to waite. After the last day of lock down and still no chicks I decided to candled the eggs, The chicks were moving( what! )how could that be possible. So I left them in the incubator for 7 more days. I decided that they were dead and broke them open and when I did there were living chicks half deformed in side . I'm guessing they were deformed becuz they were in lock down for so long. Dose any one know what happened or ever seen anything like this. Thanks

Did you calibrate the thermometer? It sounds like the temperature was several degrees low.

A great place to look is antique shops and flea markets. We found Brendon's clarinet at the local does market for $30. He bought it himself! That was about 4 years ago and it needed very little maintenance. The mouth piece just broke the other day and it was $25 to replace. We also found his saxophone there too. Would they possibly have a bass clarinet at the school to rent or use? I know that the kids take turns playing the bass at Brendon's school. He's had it at home a few times to practice. I can imagine that thing would be expensive!

I also did the flags in school, we called it Silks. I always liked the parades. Katelyn is thinking of joining that next next year. Their school calls it colorguard. That was something totally different in my school.

Talked my hubby into going for a small hike the other day. Glad he came up. This canyon isn't far from us. It's called Mapleton Canyon. We used to live in that town of Mapleton. I would take our motorhome up there for about a month and a half to stay. Easy to drive back down into town. I would have grandkids come and stay a few days at a time. Our dogs were with us. Hubby stayed home during the week while he worked, came up after, and stayed on weekends. It's so pretty up there. I should have gotten photos of the surroundings. Just these of us and our Cooper. First time we've gone up without a Golden Retriever. What did we see hiking back down into the camping area? A golden Retriever. Aww...! His name was Gary..he he, love it. He had the big block head like my first Golden. He wanted to play with our little Cooper. lol...the lady says, that's interesting, we've passed other dogs on the trail and he didn't want to play. Our Cooper is a frisky one. If these two hadn't been on a leash, they would have been off. Anyway, memories..couldn't get a photo in our regular doggy photo spot...so much water! It was good to see. We went further up and sat on this log that's been there forever. Couldn't get to the big rock because of there being more water, and we weren't dressed for getting a bit wet. Again, that was good to see more water. The most we've seen in years! No drought this year! Hubby loves this little dog. . Here's us.. sitting..by..the water with our Cooper. Need to make it up there one more time this year.

I use a totally separate thermometer/hygrometer with my Janoel 12, and ignore what the display says. Calibrate that one and ignore what the display says. I actually like that incubator for the price, but the temps are all over the place. To help keep temps stable, I set it on a towel and wrap a blanket around it for insulation.
