Reporting on my jacket: Large, Army Green, please.

Arielle, do you have photos of your feeders? I've been contemplating doing something like this and looking for examples.

Evening, dear friends!

I know we are just passing time here, waiting to set tomorrow, waiting to candle again, waiting on our hatch jacket, etc. This has nothing to do with all that but I am so pleased with myself that I have to share. I had the BEST idea for a practical joke today. I have a great boss. His office it right next to mine, in fact, we can "talk" while both sitting at our own desks, if we speak up enough. The coffe pot, a Keurig, is in my office and he gets there an hour before I do and opens up my office to get coffee. He loves Peanut M&M's. He is always trying to diet but Peanut M&M's will derail him everytime. I keep a few small packs of them locked in my desk drawer and if he is grouchy or I am trying to pursuade him to see something my way, I will open the drawer and hold one up. He hates it but will give in and take the treat. I am going to buy two identical glass containers (with glass tops) to sit on my desk. I will fill them both with peanut M&M's but one I will Superglue the lid on. That one I will leave on my desk for him to see when I'm not there. The other I will lock in my desk. IF he asks about the one on my desk and why it won't open, I will tell him it is just for decoration or that it is one of those "In case of emergency, break glass" things. I think he will say nothing because he won't want to admit that he tried to open it. After I am sure that he has tried it at least once, I will swap it for the un-glued one. While he is in my doorway talking, I will casually reach over and get one out and eat it! I can't wait to see what he does. IF he doesn't react, I will swap it back when I leave for the day!

I can't wait, I think I will get him good! It will be sooooo funny!

OH, and I think I have a BO broody!

Will see what I can do for pics tomorrow!

These are built ins. I copied designs from the resource section of BYC. Each of the 3 are basically the same but adapted to the uniqueness of each of the pallet coop condo. I like that 1-2 gal feed can fit in easy-peasy. ANd the box at the bottom can hold a days food so I can see when they need more.

You two are cracking me up.

I should go over to the locked psych unit on campus today and see if I can at least get some 4-point leather restraints until my straightjacket comes in.

Checking in for my jacket size and color. Dark green in 2XLT please. (When you're 6'5" they just don't make sleeves long enough)
