I picked up hatching eggs from the post office this morning. They were laid Sunday and Monday. Should they be ok to sit in the box today while I am at work, or should I take them out?

I prefer finding them like this, drowned in the water pan:

GOOD MORNING, MY LOVING FAMILY! I HOPE EVERYONE HAS AN AMAZING DAY! I BELIEVE YOU CAN GO THE DISTANCE!! AND NOW I HAVE YET ANOTHER SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD!

Thanks, MC! If you don't mind, I'm going to borrow some of meltel's drugs.

Are we still on for tomorrow? You still have a day off? my apts at 9, so I can grab a coffee, or denny's before running back home.

Yup! I'll be at home doing chores and building stuff, so text me and we can meet wherever. Cool!!!

@Fire Ant Farm If he comes back and you catch him, my daughter wants him. I never should have let her see the picture.

Choose you PVC cutters carefully; trust me. I own a pair. They're great for cutting PVC, as long as they cock. The way they're designed, mine anyway, the dog doesn't always engage when you want it to. No problem with PVC, but a large problem if you need to squeeze twice if the first squeeze, for whatever reason, didn't complete the cut cleanly.

It would by necessity be cutters that don't ratchet for this purpose... But yeah, there are a whole lot of mixed reviews for them out there.

Bear update?

@Fire Ant Farm did you see my tags for you at granny's yesterday?

I haven't been getting any of my tags. What's up - can you give me the link to the post?

Quote: 3/4" EMT conduit, bent with a conduit bender. That's on my to do list today/tomorrow - I still have about 15 of these to bend.

Quote:
PVC is actually more expensive by a little bit, and you don't get the strength and stiffness. Bending is easy once you learn, and then you can suddenly build durable greenhouses and shadow structures, etc., for yourself easily and cheaply.

I woke up with severe, severe wrist and hand pain this morning. Impossible to stay in bed, walked around for about half an hour cursing and shaking my hand arm and trying to will it to resolve (doing that helps when I wake up like this). Scared the cats, I think. Couldn't make tea at first because my hands didn't work (coffee being out of the question), and finally was able to machine the way I imagine someone with frostbite might make tea. Have been drinking tea and reading BYC and watching the clock, willing it to go away so I can go tend the chicks with full use of my hand. Getting better now (though typing is slow). I'm feeling so grateful - I am teaching all day today, which means that like it or not I won't be at home with the power tools and construction (and so will have a forced rest), and I also won't be at my desk typing (also not good).
