Amen to that! I've had a horrible, nasty, no good, rotten week as far as sleep is concerned. The Milk Drinker hasn't been sleeping well. Sometimes it is hard to tell if he wants to sleep with me or by himself.

Tomorrow, I need to make a run to Clarksburg to go shopping for some stuff that we can't find at our local grocery stores. This is going to be fun. I usually take the Milk Drinker with me because he gets cranky when I'm not around to nurse him. But, with the way things are, I think I'll be leaving him home. It will be quicker and I won't expose him directly to anything harmful. That will be a lot of fun for DH.

Sounds like a wise choice. Hope you get some good quality sleep tonight.

For all my squatchy friends.....yeah I am kinda needing a break lol.

Cheer up Henny, you can still go play in the dirt The nice thing about living on the side of a mountain, is there's no one within a quarter mile of me. And I can hang out on the deck. But I'm hearing about people from work who are being chastised for going out into their back yards.

Hi everyone,

Well, I broke my assisted hatch rule and I regret it. I don’t assist unless they pip on their own. I had 3 guinea eggs that I’ve been expecting to hatch since Tuesday. I candled saw they were wiggling around nicely. I didn’t see any external signs of hatching until yesterday when two of the eggs pipped. One hatched last night / this morning but the other two were stuck where they had been. I helped the second pipped one, it got shrink wrapped and the membrane was stuck to its wing and head down. The third was showing no progress, but on candling, was still very much alive. So I decided to break my rule and help even though it wasn’t pipped. On opening, it was somewhat shrink wrapped as well and I was feeling good about helping until I went to give it a dose of straight NutriDrench (something I do for all my chicks). The poor thing looks like Igor. It has a twisted face and a bit of a crossbeak. No wonder why it didn’t pip. I have a buyer for them. I’m only going to charge for the two healthy ones and throw Igor in for free. Other than the twisted face, Igor seems nice and lively and actually greedily drank the NutriDrench as soon as it had a taste.

Any word from the police about your truck?

Any word from the police about your truck?

They took a report and we let the insurance know. Basically it is a wait and see if it turns up. If it gets pulled over, wrecked or abandoned the police will know it was a stolen by the vin#.
The tow companies handle enough stolen/wrecked/abandoned that I think it may turn up.
Once the insurance cuts a check to us they own it then. It sux tater but it is more than likely we will have to replace it. That won't be easy as trucks ain't cheap.
