Gezz peeps, I have to stretch my wings myself too, or I might go crazy, with boredom!! Please understand my friends

Ps. I don’t see Bob’s roadster sitting in the garage collecting dust either! Just saying!

Okay, here's one I found first - March 2018 at a ski area in the Catskills. It was sunny and cold, about 30-32F, I'm with one of the bands I play in. We were in the sun against a brick wall for a wind block, so it was above freezing for us. The drummer took the picture - he had recently given me his daughter's cast-off boots, thus the pose for him to show her. They were nice and warm!

They still don't realize how big they are. I've seen a few of them attempt to hide under Platina.

That second photograph is lovely.

That is the emblem for the university of Arizona.

Is that somewhere in Europe?

I've been a bit concerned about Deana for a few weeks now.
She hasn't laid an egg since October last year (thank goodness, they were way too big) but lately she has been acting like she wants to. Squatting for me, spending time in the nesting boxes throwing straw over her shoulder, that sort of thing.

Today I squirted a bit of personal lubricant up her cloaca in case something needed help coming out. While giving her treats afterwards I noticed that her comb seemed a bit "rough" for want of a better word. The texture puts me in mind of a magnet covered with iron filings. It is usually more the texture of a rubber glove.

Has anyone noticed a comb with this texture before? Does it signify a problem I should be looking into?.

That does look a bit strange and it's not something I've come accross before.
However, her comb is a good colour and seems in good condition.

Not true Bob. Flying my aircraft means i have to focus. (It's like switching my brain from idle to max power) On the ground, we can make mistakes and survive, up there, one mistake is too many! So, there is always that anxiety when i'm in my cockpit.

Buy a parachute.

Uh oh. The girls are discovering the back steps. Before you know it, I'll have house chickens!

Chickens in the house are fine if you have an easy clean floor.
