Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[bamadude]

I want to try Cancun

I expanded the search for Ompoy's replacement.

With the adoptions now in the hands of the US immigration, it could be as early as six months before we have to either succeed or close up.

If I was to close up, I could easily sell off all my breeders. I may look at the franchise option but honestly, if we cant breed ourselves, the interest in the business will diminish.

This all started as a crazy idea. It has gone way further than anybody could have ever expected. If we have to pull the plug, I have no regrets. We did the impossible.

Still, its not over until its over.

It would be very sad if you had to close up shop after all the effort put into it.

Also not quite such a good book....


But soooo much to do in life and you can't do everything

Best of luck regardless Oz. Im sure its a pain trying to run a business from thousands of miles away.
Sell it and take those babies to DisneyLand

Yup life has lots to offer. This decrepit old man still has a few dozen more adventures left in him.

I don't want to close up. I am hoping that we will not have to but I am preparing my soul for the loss if we have to.

We just may get lucky.

I often think back to what Bernie could have had by now. His bonus structure would have seen him with a boat load of money. He would have made as much as an assistant Bank manager this year.

We do provide a harness

I looked into linesman's boots but they are outrageously expensive. If I thought they would use them, I would buy a set. The trees all have notches cut in them for feet and the guys use bare feet to climb. Putting them in a boot would lose al tactile feel and I dont really think they would use them more than once or twice.

Its now the wet season so climbing coconut trees is reserved only for mornings when there is little wind and no rain for a few days - with the back to back typhoons hitting north of us, its been impossible to climb a tree for two weeks. We have received more than 12"of rain in the last three weeks. The normal rainfall for July is 14".

We located Bert but he could not give a valid reason as to why he left. I am going to insist he return the money he owes. He did sign a contract of employment so he is legally on the hook. Not a lot of money but I have had it with flakes.

Christopher is Dodong's brother in law - a relative of his sister by marriage and no relation to Ariel or Lillian so I am hoping he has some brains.

I'm sure you are anxious about the kids and the final to the process. They are beautiful children as are all children.
On a selfish note on my part I hope everything works out for CocoPoultry and you get some descent employees.
My prayers go out for you and your family in all things.

Best of Luck,

Jimmy

Growing up with Kangaroos can make one easily lose the understanding of how unique they are. Australia is an amazing continent. It is a long way from Alabama but if you can, its well worth the trip.

Mexico is one of my favorite places. I like it for its amazing culture and history. Its a big country and every region is so different - from the Yucatan with its beaches and Mayan ruins to Mexico City and the Aztec and Toltec people to the sparse Baja California and its fishing villages.

We have been lucky enough to drive through a lot of the country. We did a rode trip from LA down to Cabo San Lucas, another from Mexico City to Veracruz and spent a few weeks exploring the Yucatan. The food from each area is as amazingly different as the people.

My favorite country in Asia is Indonesia. It is really diverse. The people are very warm. It is a great way to appreciate the differences and similarities in people that are Muslim to our cultures. When it comes down to it, most are just great human beings that want to do good for themselves, their family and country. Bali, with its local brand of Hindu is outstanding and if I had all the money I ever needed, would be the site of my vacation home.

Inday and I have been to many places. Egypt, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Zambia in Africa, most of South and western Europe, the South Pacific, the Caribbean and South East Asia.All are wonderful.

In the USA we have crossed the country along the I-40 and I-80, and have done road trips to Montana, Yelowstone, and up the coast to Oregon. We even flew to Seattle and caught the Amtrak back to LA. Still lots to see.

We dream of a road trip to Alaska. Once the kids are here, we will probably focus on The USA even more. Its a whole lot more expensive to travel with two kids.

One of my favourite possessions is a large world map with the world in gold, when you visit a place you are supposed to remove the gold and reveal the country in colour underneath.

I love traveling and seeing different places and cultures. I want to do more of it, I am traveling right now (I'm in Turkey) and am hopefully going to Greenland soon. I have gone to Egypt, Spain, Belguim, Holland, France, UK, Florida (I plan to see more of the U.S.), Cyprus, Portugal, Holland. What amazes me is that when I look at the map I see that I have barely scratched the surface. I haven't been anywhere in South America, I have barely been to North America, I have not been to Asia and only one country in Africa.

The world is a wonderful place, while we are here, we should strive to see the wonder.
