On a completely different subject: THE HEAT IN AZ

So last year I put a little 7" personal fan out in the coop, much to the electric bill's dismay. BUT, I stopped having losses from heat stroke, and the chickens would all chill out under the fan.

This year I wanted a solar fan, to save the $, but they are ~$250 for a decent one!!!


Anywhoo, I was doing research on the little greenhouse fans and apparently ordered one, because I TOTALLY don't remember ordering it.

It came today, and actually is pretty sweet!

If you had a large-large doghouse, this fan would make it a wind tunnel. I hung it upside-down under the chicken ladder to prevent roosting and poopage. I think 10-12 chickens can safely sit under it, enjoying a breeze.

I stuck my finger in it, and it only hurt a 3 on a scale of 10...with no skin breakage.

ANywhoo, I will let you all know how long it runs. I would bet it will last at least a season. I am also going to run my old fan on the usage meter, to see what the cost savings will be.

Uh, Buffy? Laree intentionally sticks her fingers into moving fans. I think this needs to go in her OW profile.

at least she's not sticking her finger in vents like maple does.

That's what I was totally laughin at.


Well, the heart dr. told me to A) take my nitro as long as my blood pressure isn't below 90...even at 90/45 I can. B) Go to the ER if it keeps it up C) they still haven't called me back to fit me in sooner than my later apt.

I've been at my mom's filling out loan papers and napping and one kid went to a play date out that way. So me and the youngest had to go to the icecream joint and I had to get her Blue moon icecream. I tried the pizza pretzel and I wasn't thrilled...it was dough seasoned like pizza and the inside had pizza sauce. I gave them this suggestion.... carry big soft pretzels, regular and give people the option to A) Have plain or salted B) Have nacho cheese on side ---they serve nachos already C) Have spaghetti sauce on side or D) mustard.... and I told them they would make a killing offering big pretzels....and not these funky seasoned ones.

So by the end of May I expect to see big soft pretzels on the menu or I"m complaining.

That is EXACTLY what I was going to say!

But black widow spiders may hide in the vents.

Apparently I just need to treat you all like my toddlers. Don't do that. Ok, you are stupid for trying that, here, have a bandaid.

Algae, sounds like me and my DH, never mind the kids.

Have I mentioned my DH is missing a finger? We also have a cat missing the end of his tail and now a chicken missing the end of her toe. DH says she fits right in, now.

Listening to Metallica's S & M recording of Nothing Else Matters. *sigh* I love Metallica.
