DH shot a snake off the brooder last night. That's only half of it.

Please 'splain why you still risk life and limb daily by living down there??

Funny, I wanted a broody with my reds so I put a couple of EE in that coop. No broodies when you want one

So did you plant anything?

I have not planted in the ground yet. First I need to clean the coops, and put the straw in the garden. Then till a time or three. I have a bunch of tomatoes and bell peppers in the house. I think I have jalapenos too. LOL! I forget.

That would have been a good idea, or meat birds.

I can't do meat birds. I still haven't processed my roosters. This was supposed to be the week (Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning) but life here has truly been insane this week. I am struggling to remember that today is Thursday the fourth! It is like someone saying that they can prove there is a tooth fairy. I hear you. I just can't make myself believe you.

I was born here. THE WILD IS IN MY BLOOD.

10 more days roughly, until I can find out I'm pregnant. This wait, is awful!!! . I'm so not patient.

I thought I had a snake in my bedroom this morning! I was all excited to play with it! It was just a black cord.

Just remember to stay home tomorrow night if you have a Hispanic population like we have here.

I am trying to decide a couple of things for my trip. First, does anyone know of some type of belt or strap I can use to hang things around my waist or across the front with or without a backpack? There are so many things to carry several of which need to be within easy/quick reach.

Second given that I will have bear spray, a stun flashlight, a straight knife, etc., within reach, and my studies in martial arts do you think I should take my concealed carry or skip it, and the airline hassle?

For the first I would suggest looking at Duck call lanyards. Might be able to find something that would work.

For the second, ehh it's a tough call. I'm a huge advocate of CC depending on the situation. Depending on what you typically carry I'm not sure how much protection it would provide against a bear(which I suspect is your greatest concern). The debates would go back and forth when I was in Alaska and I never really nailed down where I stood. If your considering personal protection from something else I would say go for it. Last I checked airline process was pretty straight forward and not that complicated.

Well, like those watching eggs in the brooder, go find something else to do
