INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[cabinchicky]

Well time to go. Have a good one and hope you are all safe with those who are finally getting rain. Flood warnings here.


Hugs to ya all, time to hang with the month olds and hold the 4 month old so he knows who is boss. Lil bowling ball has a big attitude.



Lol, BantyChooks I have that coming from people too, how many birds do you have? You are nuts! Hubby keeps asking if I am done hatching for the year yet, then asks me about getting peafowl next year. OK fine, I am a tad obsessed recently but I can rock my type of crazy! 51 birds and hope for a few more to hatch!

30 something, just sold 12. Also have 21 eggs incubating.

 
i dont know anybody like that

What?

Left it go???????????????????????????????????  

It was early, and no one was online to tell me to go ahead and drown it. Like I said, it's painful to drown. I want the first time to be a raccoon.
I considered letting it die in the heat too.
It is too bad I don't still own swords.

i dont know anybody like that

Exactly! We are helpers!

Love this thread full of helpers!

lol
I've been electrocuted so many times
It still hurts though

I too had been zapped many times. Old push button light switchespecially and the outlets you use in halfway then turn, yeah such fond childhood memories. No wonder I didn't want to go for Electrician Apprentice.



#5 has hatched!!

I knew you would have a reason.
I let this one go. I scared the heck out of it though. I am not sure it will want the free food next time. I will be filling up the barrel tonight or tomorrow. I really do hate to make it suffer by drowning it, but life is pain.

In Ohio, a fire hydrant is called a fire plug.

We call them fire plugs too.

yes but with you I wasnt sure what type of dobeeeeee yer talking bout

I heard the same thing yesterday...got all of 3 drops, maybe

We got 7/8 of an inch yesterday - which started while I was on the roof cleaning the gutter.
We got the same amount 2 days earlier.

He says he's ready to retire.

Of course, Brett Favre said the same thing, twice, so we'll see.

Several of the US swimmers predict he'll be back.

I get wanting to retire when it is so hard to be that good.
I've wanted to do the Missouri River 340 again but I can't bring myself to sign up.

I hate drowning animals too but letting it die in the heat is a bad thing to do.
I would want the first to be a raccoon too. They are much more populous than skunks.

That looks to be an old 75 amp box. Or smaller.
What do you need to do to the outlet?
Does it work?

That is actually my garage. The house has been updated... Kinda! LOL! The wiring is still from the 40s, but the box has been updated.

OK

1st picture is likely a house wired with aluminum but with copper outlets. They expand at different rates when they heat, thereby loosening the connections. That equals fire.
If you have aluminum wiring, you need aluminum outlets and switches. If copper, use copper.
2nd picture is an arc flash. It is even more dangerous than electrocution.
As convenient as breakers are, fuses are much safer. A fuse will blow in less than one cycle (1/60 of a second in the US) A breaker can't respond that fast and depending on power available, by the time 3 cycles occur an arc flash will ionize air and reach the temperature of the surface of the sun in a 10th of a second.

Remember the keys on peanut & coffee cans, where you opened the can by peeling off a strip of metal with the key, & the metal formed a little curlyque around the key? I stuck one into a live socket when I was a toddler.

 

[BullChick]

I'm shocked.

I was too!

That's just little sparks , but probably scared the bejesus out of u lol

I actually still have it out. I am stupid enough to put it back without turning off the electric. If I think about it, I will turn it back off first.

Love this thread full of helpers!

Not good.

When I became an electrician, my goal was to never feel the voltage. That didn't last long.
I was working in the electronics lab repairing weld timers. There was a loose wire in a firing panel I was holding and got hit with 480 VAC. The only thing that saved me was I was holding it with both hands when the bare wire touched the metal housing. Otherwise it may have stopped my heart when the current passed across my body but the potential was the same in both hands.
My fingertips were scorched and I felt very strange for days.
After that, 120 is very mild.
I've worked with everything from millivolts to 40,000 volts DC and 33 kV AC.

He never told me to keep the power off when putting the outlet back together.

Duh!

...

You should have done it.
Going onto the apprenticeship waiting list, we had to pick 3 trades as our first choices. Mine were Electrician, Pipefitter and Stationary Steam Engineer.
All trades are good but electricity is such a big field, no one can know it all.

Weren't they on spam and sardine cans too?

I've been watching Olympics men's 25 meter rapid fire pistol. The Frenchman is amazing.

Hmmm And hmmm really Put it back the same way and turn on. Hmmm

Now I have done it without turning off however I do not recommend that to anyone.

I was too!

Ok now I feel better.

Here it is, post number 44,000! Along with some of my "art" This one is part cecal poop, part regular poop. I call it "The Combo"

Cecal poop vs regular poop

[COLOR=333333]These are overnight poops from a 7 year old rooster that appears to be quite healthy. On the left is a normal cecal poop, on the right are pretty normal regular poops, though one pile has a little spec of red. [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]This is the same poop moved to a paper towel. regular poop on top, cecal on bottom.[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]Same poop again. Notice the creamy texture of the cecal poop compared to the regular poop. Interestingly, I think maybe I can see a cecal worm in this picture. Will go back and see if I can verify.[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333][COLOR=000000]-Kathy[/COLOR][/COLOR]

I just ran across this somehow. LOL. I LOVE IT!
