Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

I’m a pedestrian at times. Can I argue any points?

I did pull that one on a vagrant asking for money. I told him, “surely you can have some change from my pocket. I’m a pedestrian myself today “!! I’m surprised to be living, saying that to strangers on the street! The guy had no idea what a pedestrian actually was.

I hate going down this road but they also said masking did not help against COVID until suddenly they magically did and then they mandated them.

I wish you could use a commercially made mask. Some of them would help quite a bit.

At this point, minimize time outside, time it to between waves when possible, be mindful of exertion, and pray for snow. Some years it's like this in July. At least it held off till now.

Yes a wet cloth will help with smoke. The water filters the smoke out. Otherwise a cloth mask will not work very well against smoke. Walking a round with a wet cloth on your face does not seem very practical though.or comfortable.

Air conditioning....works like sweat....

My plane is a single engine prop plane. And Flightradar24 would show up my plane as flying over you going

Tell me next time you are in the air and I will see if I can identify you in the app.

And chance of using a heavy construction type one, with the silicone type rubber and the screw in puck filters? Sure you’ll look a wee bit crazy, but that was the route I went when spraying paint and insulation removal (nasty fiberglass and mouse droppings ) in our previous home renovations. It was with the price to not have to mess with those annoying fiber ones for things.

It's the straps on those. Polyester is NOT friends with me and elastic is polyester (as are dryer sheets, thread on commercially made clothes even though "there not enough of it to be a problem" so it isnt included in fabric content, gorilla duct tape, co-flex, spandex).

I just realized that the new King Charles, looks quite similar to that of my dad’s picture during WW2. What an honor the royal family has, to be rated close to my family impression on this earth! No picture of my dad (in honor of his memory, served on the battleship Indianapolis)

I think mice and birds nests are dealt with. Smells fine.
Wasps above kitchen door are going into a space between the roof shingles and the rest of the roof structure. So no chance to take it down.
I tried spraying up in the crevices last night and I don’t think it has made any difference. I think I am going to don as much hazmat protection as I can create and after real dark go up a ladder and puff the dust under the shingles. Wish me luck.
The deck is really tricky. No access. It has a roof covering so wash off is not a huge issue. They are really aggressive those ones (the ones over the door seem to ignore me going in and out but the deck ones were really not happy with me being there). I can see a small gap where they come and go. I think I could puff dust into that crevice. Again, safer after dark.
At least Maggie benefited from the baby mice. About the size of my thumbnail.

Is the deck space otherwise sealed? If so, caulk their hole and let them die.

Yes, N95 should help quite a bit, but too bad @rural mouse is allergic to them.

And Yes I remember all these masking rule inconsistency very well too. CDC is not trustworthy on Covid stuff. They are also not for the backyard chicken movement.

Bad news today. Queen Elizabeth 2 passed away today. All honors to the Royal Family and the loss of the world’s greatest matriarch!

That was very fast, she just swore in the latest PM on Tuesday.

Long live the King
