Quote: TJ!!!!! Oh lordy yes way too hot for you to be working!! I have the polish, a friend has the guinea with the whites I hatched earlier she has acreage and they free range for her well, I have four pheasants no clue the gender, when can I tell ? Thank you TJ!!

Hard to tell from this angle...sun was wrong...but that mess on the top
is actually the front wall, with provisions for a people door on one end
and a 6' door to get the mower through on the other.
Anyone wanna help me set it?

Slow but sure...mostly slow. Tackling something like this all by your lonesome is a beach.
I need someone to keep me motivated.

dang whites, I would help you

You want I should pick you up tomorrow? Can be there by 10 AM
I wish!!! anything to get out of children for over twelve hours that are not mine!!! ugh

I just looked at it, and I found a couple. But Missouri might be a little too far to ship eggs.

I have a thought (ouch!). While the run is being re-wired, I think it makes sense to have a load of gravel brought in. Rather than having to shovel it up, and bring it inby the wheel barrel full, I can have it brought close, and just shove it in through the open sides.
The drawback is that there is a lot of soil in there from all the compost over the last several years.
I would need to work in the rain to get the soil loosened and out first. Is it worth it?

He did great. Told him to bring me home a crappie cause I didn't even know they were up here and he did. Also got a perch and a rainbow trout. They had snagged a lot of crappy but they would escape before they got them up. They also caught a bunch of bass but they were too small to keep.

No need to work in the rain. Loosen it up with the tiller, scoop it up with a flat shovel (coal shovel if you have one), dump it into the wheelbarrow

Nice black crappie.

People ship eggs all over the country/world. I sent eggs to AZ several months ago, they hatched great.
Once they're on the plane, it doesn't matter how far it is.

Truckloads are always easier.

Quote: Gotta have a tender touch with Crappie. Their mouths are super easy to pull a hook out of. Matter of fact, one of their many nicknames is Paper Mouth. Can't set th hook like you would for a Bass; you'll rip it right out. They'll usually pull the bobber under & run with it. When they do, just sweep the rod tip back, rather than rearing back like with a Bass; they'll usually hook themselves.
