Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Now, I have to say I prefer him after trimming I can see his funky comb, who knew that was hiding under all that stuff?!

Actually, I don’t know if I like his trim or not. Doesn’t seem natural to me. I don’t see David Bowie getting a trim cut like that one.
(You be the judge)

My neighbour is either a vampire or an inconsiderate boob. He waits till evening on a Sunday to do anything!

Last weekend on Sunday at 8pm he started cutting down trees having the darn chain saw going till dark o’clock (dark o’clock is after 10pm these days).

Gee Sunday 8 pm and guess what? Yep at it again. At this point I am swearing up a storm - inconsiderate boob it is. No it wasn’t too hot to be working today or yesterday. He is just an inconsiderate boob.

What a rude inconsiderate jerk

I hesitate to wish him harm, bad karma and all that so maybe his chain will break on the chainsaw.

Maybe the guy works on Sunday during the day. I can raise you that story. Did I tell this story before? Our fairly-new neighbor across the hollow had his chainsaw tuned up and picked it up on his way home from work. Tried it out, runs like a charm. Started working on his firewood logs. By the way, when does he work? Second shift, maybe third - it was about 2am! He cut wood for an hour or so. We lay in bed flabbergasted.

Okay, maybe that was a one-off? Nope. Next night, 11pm and it starts up again. I drove across the hollow in my PJ's and robe. Decided I wouldn't get out of the car in case he really was nuts. Gotta consider the situation, and this is truly bizarre. But this was the 90's. I think I would not do this nowadays. Not at night anyways.

Pulled up, but not too close, and rolled down the window. There he was with blazing outside lights cutting wood. He stopped and took his muffs off. I asked him really nicely: Can you not chainsaw during the night please? We're sleeping. See, that's our house up there across the way? We're 1/8 mile from here directly, we're all in this hollow, and the sound travels.

He was actually very sorry and explained he thought the distance was enough, he just got off work and had the saw worked on, etc., I said you know you have another neighbor much closer than us, right there on the corner (Only a thousand feet down the road)? He's a real early riser. We work at night like you, but not every night, and none of us are night-owls. He was great about it, and never chain-sawed at night again.

This is what I contend with, every time I leave the house:

You know, chain saws can spark fires. Is it possible that he's either trying to wait for temps to cool down or is there a time/temp limit on when they can be used?

Yup on all those points.

But since I had to eat that as a kid I didn’t know any difference! Didn’t really enjoy it but I ate it!

Much preferred molasses on a nice slice of homemade bread oh and another thing was butter on homemade bread and sugar sprinkled on the butter - not keen on that at all!

Tax on what to eat

Fluffy look this way!

I had to give him a radical hair cut as his vision was seriously impeded by his coiffe

After…
You can see his comb and wattles, and he can see the world

I just can't get enough of him. That last picture is fit for POW the way his beak is slightly open, like he's trying to say something. That would make an excellent addition to the caption contest also!

 

[LhickenChicken]

Could you do the same, as when I read it I never saw them either.

Yes, for me, too, please. I only read when Bob lost Betty.

Oh, I took BBQ's bandage off. Her Bumblefoot is really bad. I'm worried about her. She has a noticeable limp, and tries not to put much pressure on her foot.

Poor BBQ. I hope you can do something to help her.

Why it gets so nasty around here. Hard to breathe. Seems like smoggy air from the city. Doesn’t help with my breathing issues!

Know what the funniest part of that video is? When Glynda is just about to ramp up speed after Eowyn....and she suddenly checks herself as she sees you!

kind of like a kid just about to do something REALLY bad, when Ooops - there's DAD. Aw, shucks!

I love when she locks eyes with Aroura after having run Éowyn off. It's like she is saying, "thanks right, I'm bad ass!"
