MJ's little flock

[rjohns39]

That sounds like loads of fun. We had a BYCer not long after I started greeting that took off on a year long sailing adventure and brought his chickens (I think two of them) with him.

I'm good and nothing new on my front. Spent most of Friday with an editor making changes to emails that my new workflow generates. I had to explain the whole concept of dynamically generated text and how I can't control the punctuation or capitalization that the user inputs into the database. What they type is what goes into the email.

They're quite a sailing family, which is a nice connection for us. My ancestors weren't sailors but they were seafaring. Every now and then we get talking about the olden days and the ketches that used to keep colonial South Australia functioning.

That's interesting! I imagine it would be quite challenging to keep chickens aboard. Was it a big yacht? Hope so.

Oh! I imagine the editor would have found the whole punctuation thing very challenging.

Big enough for one person to live on comfortably, but pretty small compared to some I've seen. I got involved with him figuring out how to store feed and for how long as well as where to find it along his route. He also had a small greenhouse (not sure that's the right word) where he was able to grow veg on the boat.

I figured if the user used bad grammar/punctuation and it got fed back to him/her in an email, he/she would not be at all offended. But boy did it drive the editor nuts.

Bob is that person keeping up a chronicle of the trip w/ chicken? Imagine it would be quite a story maybe even Disney quality, and make him some $$$$

He chronicled his journey for a few months out here and then disappeared.

Good evening MJ

Good morning @rjohns39 I was asleep early last night. I must've been worn out from all my chores.

No eggs yesterday

It was a rare 0 eggs day even though Sandy and Mary both sat and thought about it for a while. Maybe today they'll give me a full set
