I don't mind at all, I am just the opposite. If I am in a stressful driving situation, be it roads, some place new or the freaken "city" (you girls know I hate that city

I will talk if I am just on the road home, clear conditions, but don't bother me especially when it is slick out! Is it still snowing? How much so far?
 
Another vent..

Gosh .. can I even do this in reader's digest version???

Our house is in a platted subdivision .. 5-10 acre lots .. bla bla

Our subdivision/property owners assoc has a REALLY BAD reputation .. I mean from people that don't even live here .. (we didn't know that before we bought)

We had a couple run-ins with a few of them before,during, after the build.

Then we discovered that there were a couple of folks on the board that were normal .. and they were looking for more.

End of that story is that DH is now the president .. a friend of ours from church is vp .. and the two level headed people plus one other is on the board. We basically took it over at the last annual meeting.

The only stick-in the muds left are the two guys on the "building committee" ...

One of them was one of the guys we had a run-in with a couple of times.. he's a real pr#*(

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo ....

He and DH got into it today over some folks that are about to build and pricko has a hair up his butt about these people .. He finally stooped to a personal attack on DH (the now president of the board) ..

Well ... I think he has forgotten one thing .. per the bylaws of the POA .. the building committee is appointed BY THE PRESIDENT and can be disolved BY THE PRESIDENT ... at any time .. *snicker snicker snort snort*

DH has already put the board on notice that ANY trouble from this guy and DH was going to disolve his donkey .. I guess we call a board meeting and splat this guy ...

Michelle ??? Can you make it a TWO FOR ONE next weekend???

Oh, and Robin ... maybe a meteor will hit pricko in the head .. we can only hope..

I'm back on page 1451 - don't know what we are up to you. However, I wanted to post pictures:

3:30 Yesterday afternoon:

Same chick, last night when I took him out to put him in the brooder:

By 9:30 or so this morning:

I had to take them out in three batches. Quail babies can't wait 24 hours + like chicken babies. They need to eat and drink sooner. They don't have the same reserves.
Problem: Taking out the first one I was hit with an odor. Second & third times into the incubator it was getting much worse.

Obviously, a bad egg. It was getting bad enough it made the hatch more difficult for the next four chicks. They were no longer cheeping or trying to hatch.

So, I was a BAD incubator & helped to varying degrees. (Hush, Nat!)

Tiny & Boots:
63147_100_3597.jpg


Tiny is, tiny. He had a rough time hatching (though he hatched with only minimal help - enlarged pip). He was very weak and is from a smaller egg.
Boots needed a lot of help. He was the last & was exposed to the stench of the gas longest (I didn't know what egg it was until the very end).
Boots had horrible feet. It was either cull or make boots. I was not about to cull without trying podiatry. So, Boots is now able to walk. He couldn't even get up on his feet before he got his little Pokemon bandaids. (Yes. My son is 16 and I still have Pokeman bandaids that have been in the first aid kit for 9 or 10 years. Figured it was a good time to use some of them. Plus, they are small & the rest of mine are the waterproof type. I don't want to use those as they'd be too hard to remove.)

Everyone except Tiny & Boots (they were still in the "Hospital." I had just moved the other three late hatchers over to the main brooder.)

Tiny & Boots were very upset that their three buddies went away to the main brooder. Tiny wouldn't stop screaming. So, Tiny got moved to the main brooder. Then, Boots was by himself & didn't like that much. So, I moved him over too since he was walking better. I have been watching that they don't pick on him. I moved the hospital brooder light over to warm a larger area after this picture. They are spread out better now but I haven't taken another picture.
