Good morning everyone! Managed to tweak my back yesterday. It wasn't too bad, but is now a little worse those morning. So probably not cleaning the barn...even if it really does need done.
Bert most people I know never really retire, they just pare down a bit, or switch to a different job. Really it is healthier anyway. Sitting and having nothing sounds nice, but quickly grows tiresome.
My MIL is retiring from the railroad this April....My husband and I are not looking forward to it. She has no hobbies, no side jobs, not even a lot of friends. She says she is going to finish all the undone projects around the house, I said great, then what? I know what, she is going to drive us nuts.

sorry to hear about your back......

shame you can't get DMSO anymore. but the herbal stuff they sell at TSC, is not too bad, even if it isn't as good.

that and a heating pad, and some rest and you'll be back out hippy'g it up in no time.

Oh it is ok, not even walking like Quasimodo, just a bit of a hunch . I did it to myself by being stupid in my 20s. We do not have a TSC here, is that just a pharmacy?

DMSO?

horse linament.

great stuff back in the day for bruises, aches and pains, and pulled or strained muscles.

any feed store should have it, or something similar.

I ran across a picture the other day, and thought "what a great idea!"... so I have been working on this project for a few days. Its not quite finished, but now I guess I'm ready for advice on completion.

I'm planning to put this in my new run... a "nightlight"







So I haven't glued the lights (122 of them!) in the holes yet, because I can't decide if I should paint around the letters first, and if so, should I use silver metallic paint, or maybe bright yellow? Or something else.

Here's where the idea came from... because Armand is the king of the new run, and his name came from Robin Williams' character. And ... well.... its a BIRD CAGE!

And also his naming was a group effort, so I thank those who helped! SC and Ravyn for sure!

Open to thoughts and suggestions....

I think it looks really cool...I got no suggestions though looks like you got it handled...

Thanks Phil. I'm not totally happy with the "The" because I ended up needing to use a smidge bigger drill bit than I designed the template with, so my holes got a little too close and I had to adjust it. But from a distance it looks fine. And... its going in a chicken run, so I guess I should just be happy with it

 

[LittleLakePhil]

Be happy it's awesome.....
