When we went to check cows at the leases, the thermometer in the truck showed 106 between Prague and Paden on Hwy 62.

I am sure hoping that it is off I hate to have to turn on my AC that thing eats more electricity than the animals eat feed all combined, I haven't had to turn the AC on so far this year but if it gets to 106 I bet I will LOL

I offered my chicks that are still in a large stock tank brooder a male dubia today there are about 80 chicks in it and none would take it from my hand and when I dropped it in the sawdust it just sat there for a moment and and everyone just froze on tippy toes, necks stretched and staring, then it moved and all hell broke loose, there was shear pandemonium and panic! It took a while to catch it and even longer for the chicks to decide that the giant carnivorous chicken eating bug monster was gone, I obviously picked a bug that was much too large for them and they are too young to understand the safety in numbers thing that will have them chasing down and dismembering rodents later in life...

wheres the video! that would have been great to see...

how did you save the graphic?

I just did a screen shot and cropped it where I wanted it in a graphics program and then saved it to the desktop and attached it to the post. Not sure how Macs do screenshots? It might be with the printscreen button like Windows, and then paste it into your graphics program.

Buster I understand not washing the eggs, I don't wash the ones for our personal use-- honestly I rarely even put them in the fridge. Technically the way I understand the very vague Oklahoma dept of Ag egg packers information - the eggs are suppose to be cleaned, graded & in the fridge in new cartons within 12 hours of lay. When I was looking at the USDA site it states they must be refrigerated within 36 hours.
I don't want to be a rule breaker-- but my eggs get 2 grades.... Pass or fail. We pass them into an egg carton or the ones who flunk go to the chickens or dogs.

This wk I want to try my hand at pickled guinea eggs. Think DH can take the eggs to work & his drills will enjoy them in the field. I am off to bed, want to be out in the garden by 6, have greenbeans & okra to pick before the triple digits hit.

It was a sad day for my peppers. Many gorgeous bell peppers got sun scald. No signs of sun scald until today. I picked them, chopped them up & they are in the dehydrator now. First time I ever got pruned fingers from chopping too many sweet peppers. The smell is making my tummy growl.
