EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Pensmaster]

Guess who’s roof is leaking again? Four weeks, and third time I’ve had to get a roofer out here.

Darn. Might ask them to take pictures of what they are doing.

I can see what they are doing. Replacing rusted nails that are pulling up, and allowing water in.

There isn’t supposed to be any exposed nails. Roofing tar will need to be applied on top of any nails that are. And that’s not really a permanent fix.

Maybe. Good morning Whites. More shipped eggs in incubator 2 weeks to go.
Taking today off. Hopefully get some stuff done here.
Coop is coming along but haven’t worked on it in a couple weeks.
You still getting rain?

Good morning a day late. Don't worry about the coop; it'll get done when it gets done.
We had rain off & on all day yesterday, but nowhere near the steady, all-day rain that was called for. Didn't break my heart; not one bit. Winds got up overnight, & brought cooler temps. They're talking 50 mph gusts & temp in the 50's today; 40's overnight. Thank you, Michael.
Sad day around here yesterday. I talked to one of your "neighbors"; an old friend who's living around Sacramento; has for many years. He's a whole lot closer to you than I am, so he must be one of your neighbors . His older brother, my best man 53 years ago, as I was his, moved to Raleigh NC long ago. He & his future wife, & I & mine, double-dated a lot, were on the same bowling team for several years (I'd met my now wife in the bowling alley) & we both married within 6 months of one another. I'd emailed him when Florence was raising Hell down that way, to make sure he & his wife were o.k.; hadn't spoken to him, live or email, in a few years. Found out he'd died in November; complications of anuerism surgery. Hit me kinda hard, but I managed to hold it together when I broke the news to DW.

Hello Whites sorry to hear about your friend.
Do you know the town your friends brother lives in near Sacramento?

Manteca, according to FB. Works for a grocery chain, probably as an executive of some sort. I've had very little contact with him over the years. He was always my friend's "little brother", & you know how that goes. I haven't seen him since his brother's wedding in '66 or '67, & never actually spoke to him since then, 'til yesterday, & I had a terrible connection then; he was on a cell phone, driving to work, & I was on a cell phone here.

That’s a little over an hour south of here. Used to pass Manteca while going to inlaws in Ceres.
