Awesome
I have blueberries here as far as the eye can see
I'd make him disappear... It's legal here to take care of a flock killer
No it is, 4-2

Every time I plant blueberries, the birds eat them, but I have a HUGE patch of wild blueberries.... Got quite a few cups last summer.

Remesh is the stuff used to reinforce concrete. It is 6" square mesh and comes in 120' rolls. Since it's 6", it won't keep small predators out but can be covered with something smaller. What is nice is that it is very strong so will keep dogs, fox and coyote out. Since it comes in a roll and has memory, it wants to roll back up. That makes it easy for a single person to move. Pick up one side and it wants to close back up. I posted a bunch of pictures of my 8'X40' pen yesterday. I was mistaken, it comes in 150' rolls.

after I cut the sections, I wire them together using premade rebar wire.

Perhaps you could put the incubators in a small room with a dehumidifier.


Oh we have that around here too and it is ugly - especially in the suburbs where the cookie cutter houses are. In the city, there's almost no such thing.

There are other advantages to a metro area like this too. We're close to the wild bird sanctuary. Today is International Migratory Bird day. The sanctuary is free all day and has bird banding demonstrations, tours, wildlife walks, etc.. Not that I had time to go there.

As much as I enjoy being in the wilderness and despise crowds, the downside of urbanization and desire to live on the side of a volcano in the tropics, I do appreciate the other amenities an area like this has to offer. 
I guess I'm luckier than I know. To live where I feel like I'm in the country raising animals and gardens yet within, if not walking distance, a short drive from art, architecture, museums, libraries, music (symphonies, jazz, blues, country, reggae, rock et. al.), history, culture, universities, cathedrals and churches, animals, parks, botanical gardens, sports (both participatory and spectator) dozens of breweries and more amazing restaurants than one could eat at in a lifetime. 
If you're looking for something to do, the hardest part is deciding which art fair, parade or festival to attend.

I'm jealous

Short day today I'm beat and hurting too much to even want to go on today. I did manage to cut two d driveshafts and weld them together to make one usable shaft...... And replaced the wheel bearings on my boat trailer. But the cold and snow was a bit much for me today. The baseball game seems more my bag at the moment.

relax and enjoy enjoy the game!!
