Good morning Whites! Any plans today?
Can you explain to MC the difference between wood bits & metal bits? I don't have the words. Wanted to show her the difference, but I don't have any wood bits

From: http://woodworking.stackexchange.co...bit-from-a-metal-drill-bit-and-does-it-matter

It does matter - wood drill bits won't work on metal (destroying the bit in the process, unless used on thin and soft metals) and metal drill bits will increase splintering and tear-out when used on wood (but this depends also on the wood type and the diameter of the bit, and for smaller diameters there is little difference between wood and metal drills bits).
As for how to tell them apart - wood drill bits have two distinguishing features: a spar (also brad) and a lip. The spar helps in keeping the bit centered when starting the hole and prevents wondering of the bit on the surface of the wood. The lip acts like a chisel, slicing through the wood fibers in the circumference of the drilled hole, improving the quality of the finish. This is most important for through holes, where the lips helps reduce "blow-out" of the wood when exiting the wood on the other side. Wood bits are typical black and silvery in color, but other colors exist.

Metal drill bits, on the other hand, have just an angle at the tip. They often are fully black (plain HSS), golden (often titanium oxide finish) or coppery (often cobalt steel) in color:



I don't need a smart reply. No one does, but they are often offered. If you do, I will do what I must.

Four birds are dead in my run. I can't say I know what happened. I will look harder for the point of entry later. If there is one. I closed the run when I checked on the broody pen. They could have been killed before that. I remember the ducks walking into the run as I was leaving the other side. That isn't odd. Jojo wants me all the time, and will come outside if he can get through the other ducks laying around. So I remember seeing the white of the ducks. I can't remember if the cockerels (three SPR) were roosting on the pop door. They are the ones gone, and it looks like one of my blue pullets. I looked inside, and all was okay. I looked at the roof, and didn't see a gap in the wire.

The only question I have, is what do I do with the bodies? Part of me wants to use them to practice processing, but the flies make me believe that is not a good idea. I don't have woods to put them in. Can I get away with double (or triple) bagging them, and putting them in the trash?

And why not the turkey that roosts on the roof? She is easy to catch.

I'm sorry.

Burn, bury, you can probably get away with bagging and putting into trash, although I think you are not supposed too.

i went to clarks trading post not too long ago, My munchkin likes their bears
have you seen sebbies??

:oops:   I don't like them.



OK if you can admit that, I going to bare one too. Geese I do not like nor trust and will not own any unless it's ready to eat. Great Aunt big gray gander got me as a kid, she whacked him with a broom and them cleaned him later. Evil geesers

Not strange, small town life you have to create ways to entertain yourself. Lived in town of less than 100 growing up. I can relate.


Town wasn't that small. Maybe 3500 people no signal lights when I first moved there. I miss the place just not enough work to keep a family going. It's a miracle the group I hung with are alive today some of the games we played would make parents cringe. What mom and dad don't know right?


Didn't have any traffic lights only 3 stop signs, one church, and elevator and a store/bar part of the time. Oh I know the things we did were crazy but no serious injuries and no jail time either, lol!

So sorry, hope you can solve the puzzle soon and stop whatever it was.

Also sorry I haven't put up pics of quail yet, need to remove 3who are not thriving. Sadly. Lil buggers grow faster! Older ones mostly feathered and making calls already.

Morning! Arthur is with me but he is bearable so far. Weeding yesterday, moved my trio, then caught 3 BA pullets with attitude and put em in with EE flock,cleaned out the pen trio had been in, remedied it, inserted the Giants I have there, then moved to quail pen. Did more but I don't want to keep going, tires me thinking of it.

How are you? Any building progress?

And what did you do after lunch?

Rain pretty much shut me down yesterday, but managed to get a little time in. Carpenter BIL showed up & pointed out some places I've screwed up (BIL's seem to specialize in that), so I'll start by addressing that here in a bit.

The turkey maybe easy to catch but some predators like skunks don't climb. Edited to say most of the time they don't climb. Spotted skunks are the exception.

So sorry Abi. Bury the dead ones.
