Granny's gone and done it again

I remember just after getting my beginners drivers licenses at 15 we were going through L A and my stepfather decided to put me behind the wheel. Dang traffic was moving 75-80 miles an hour, 4 or 5 lanes wide. I was scared to death. As I can imagine my travelling companions were too.

Haha holy crap. That just makes me think of that scene from clueless with the driving lesson and screaming.

Ha! Found it!

Yeah I need to speak something other than movie quotes.

Is it bad that I do whatever I can to avoid the freeways down here? I mean my gosh. So many idiot drivers...and nobody can maintain speed!!

Nope. Looks the same.

Mine is definitely bigger. And no I'm not just bragging.

This reminds me of the old joke:

I hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa - not screaming in terror like the passengers in the car he was driving at the time.

Not bad. I do everything possible to avoid anywhere with more than one and a half lanes. Although, the one and a half lane roads can be dangerous too if there's someone else on them...

Lol. It wasn't that bad. I was just frozen into one lane and keeping up with the flow. If we were supposed to have existed it would have been just too bad.

Granny take a sleeping pill last night?

Wanted to share something ..for no particular reason other then I think it's a good thing to know.:

Several conditions are increased with too high of humidity. Splayed leg for one but it's second to too high of temp causing that problem. Really the biggest thing about humidity is controlling the amount of water/weight loss of the egg. Somewhere in line of 12% mass should be lost during incubation and this is water evaporating from egg. Higher humidity lowers evaporation from egg and low humidity increases it.

Fast forward and easier way to monitor is to candle the egg and look at the air cell. Adjust humidity if needed to grow the air cell to proper size. You'll find 30% RH will do the trick to day 18 then up humidity to what you want for hatching, I prefer 70% RH. Make sure to preform a salt test on hygrometer to calibrate it.

This is a decent diagram of air cell growth by day. It's not exacting, every egg is different (more or less porous) but in general terms a fair reference. Smaller than what shown here for day 14 on hatch would increase mortality due to drowning in shell on internal pip. Air cells smaller than day 7 shown at hatch is complete death sentence. Ask me how I know? We all started hatching at one time. It's a learning process.
