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

[ozexpat]

I don't know how you do it; I think I would have been hyperventilating at the thought of all those eggs.....

honestly, i had such little sleep i was numb. i knew it would get here - it was just as matter of when. there are just shy of 300 eggs in that puppy and tomorrow will age them one more day.

i am going to have a few hrs sleep. go and buy plywood then find a few broodies at my mother in law's house to put some eggs under.

Hoping that you got enough sleep and got those eggs settled!

You go OZ

I had a moment of panic.

The golf bag did not show up. After one hour, I went to file a claim and just like magic, it appeared.

Golf bag and TV box cleared customs.

Now I have 3 hours till my flight to Bacolod.

Mrs Oz was on the earlier flight to Bacolod to go to school for the day. It was a shame that I could not jump on that flight. It was weird being at the same airport but not being able to see each other. We will catch up this afternoon. I have a busy day buying supplies. I may head home this afternoon if I think I can do the 3 hr drive. If not, I will leave at 4AM.

The adventure continues!!

waiting with baited breath for pics and updates!!
