I thought it was today.
I just realized that you guys don't get coffee until BYC is back.

I will miss the greeting, but at least I won't have withdrawals

Another full day of work. I really do need stock win zip ties. I only got one finished, but at least I was able to move the S&G boys (the messiest of the bunch) out this evening. Here are some photos (before I finished tacking the apron down). This is the cleanest this coop will ever look, of course. I moved them to the roost after dark. No idea how easy it will be for them to get up there - they may need a ramp. (Big boys!)






Three more to go. I worked on the next one until I lost the light. Then I gathered eggs by headlamp, finding Trinity (my black NN) trying to sleep in the nest box - I SO don't have time for dealing with a broody... Put her on the roost, put the S&Gs up on the roost, and then was so tired that I just had camping food for dinner (Mountain House Chicken & Dumplings). I don't think I've sat down since 7:30am... Too tired for a bath, but not an option. Heres hoping I don't fall asleep in there...

I'm actually seriously considering just waiting the conversion out rather than setting up on Bang Your Head... So much to do. (I also have to clean out the fridge - but not tonight.)

That 1st picture...is that tractor light enough to move around by hand with wheels, or is some sort of tow vehicle needed?
BTW: I bought that book; just haven't opened it yet. Spent too much $$ lately; gotta slow down some.

FYI I have seen the Princess Bride, loved it!

Me and my sister watched it when it was new. Named our pet Dutch rabbit Princess Buttercup, then just Buttercup cause it turned out to be a male

Saw Andre the Giant 'wrestle' live once when I was a kid.

Talk about falling into a bucket of sheet & coming up smelling like a rose! And Boer crosses, yet. It don't get no better than that!  

I was stunned to only have to pay twenty five dollars each. Four of the six are doelings two my friend is going to take.

Good morning Abi Kajira and everyone else!

When is the site going down?

Dunno.. soon I'm guessing. Just in time to not be able to announce if the pregnancy attempt was successful or not.

When my oldest nephew was about 7, my youngest brother (21) took it upon himself to show him the movie.

Duckling watched it last year when it was a big discussion on here. She actually sat through most of it.

Around here, I am constantly seeing Nubians for $20-40.

But there's hope

Not always.

Not always.

What do you mean? You are going to try to come back, aren't you?

Lately I just don't know.
