Gah! I want my eggs to hatch!

[Quail Jailer]

Wow! That looks like it'll be tricky to deal with.

I'll say...I've dealt with it about 25 times today...no hose nearby.............. buckets

I feel like I have five galloned an olympic pool today

I think its out now...but I thought it was out 25 other times...what makes this time different is most of it has burned away

so I could get to the fire...I'll probably be out there at midnight...miserable...its been raining, just not inside my tree....

Cut it down now and make a canoe!

You cannot see the magnitude of that suggestion...that old white oak is near (maybe over)

100 feet tall, the canopy is about 3 times the size of my house,

the part burning is 6-8 feet in diameter, its very hollow now, because of the shape and way it has grown, I'm hoping it will survive, just above the trunk it splits and is double

thats why all the dead material in the middle...

if it ain't one thing, its a tree on fire...

Ok, make a few canoes. Lol, then you can sell them as authentic dug out canoes.

maybe I should climb up to where the temp is 100 and build a nest and fill it with quail eggs?

Lol that would probably work. The only problem is quail don't roost, those would be some incredibly confuse got chicks when they hatched lol

Yea, cause no more wings than a chick has, if hes gonna fly, he better be packing a tiny jet engine.

Its a quail chick though, it would activate the afterburner while looking into the exhaust to see what it could see.

OK made me giggle, a bit off topic but back in the day we would start up these 4 30,000 pound thrust afterburning jet engines, and on a cool morning when
they spooled up it would make little fog tornadoes from the front of the intake curving down to the ground. the suction was so great that it would easily ingest a man that got within 5 feet ... well the point of this story is, in the summertime those little yellow butterflies would fly all around the low pressure zone, i mean right at the threshold, but I never saw one go in and get murdered. I have always wondered, "how did they know?"

I saw a video of a guy get sucked in on the Reagan once. Lucky man, his helmet got caught on the fins and kept him from getting whisked into the turbine.
Lol, it was part of a training video being shown to army recruits.
