***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Elbert Garrett]

Good Sunday Morning! It`s a pleasant 70 degrees with a cool Southern breeze!

I got the pens cleaned and Wasp removal went smoothly, there was only about a dozen or to dispatch. I have a little spot here and there that needs attention and the latches could use a good soaking with some WD-40 other than that it`s time to pick up some feed and a bale of Alfalfa.




Have a wonderful day!

Hm, I guess I will have to go google this guy ya'll are talking about.


RAIN!

Went to the sale it was nice to see a few BYC'ers Not many birds and not a lot of other stuff really, I am probably not going to be returning to that sale it gets really old and annoying to hear grown adults being scolded every other item that comes to the table by someone yelling out "You're not lookin'! " while children are not being supervised and allowed to pull feathers out of roosters tails that are waiting to be sold,just seems kinda backwards to me, But then it's always like that there, When my rabbits hit the sale table the auctioneer (not the actual person doing the auctioneering) made a huge fuss about the rabbits water bowl being spilled and getting the rabbits feet and bellies wet by holding the offending bowl up and proclaiming "This is exactly why" and proceeded to slam my cage around knocking my stainless steel pan on to the concrete,  The cage of 20 birds was proclaimed to be "All roosters!" 3 times before bidding started while it was mostly roosters there were some pullets but that was my fault for not separating them into more cages, I could have said something then but was kinda stunned and just watched in disbelief mostly, Anyway, I was ready to leave so went to check out, I made $61 dollars and was given a check after 7pm on a Saturday night so I asked where I might be able to cash it and was snapped at with "At any bank" At that point my restraint was starting to slip and I didn't want that to happen I was just wanting to be gone so didn't debate the fact that most banks aren't open that late on a Saturday I just kept my mouth shut and left, I will miss the social aspect of going to this sale but there are other sales and I look forward to seeing people I know there, 

I got one of your rabbits - sweet little buck. It was a bad night to be there over all there was too few people to much bickering and over all very very short. I bought June's seramas for three each - amazing seeing less then a month ago I fought to pay ten for the same pairs of birds.

I always take my son with me - all he does is sit by me, take things to the truck and look at the rabbits to add to his hutches. 9 years old - but expected to behave- he is always looking at me saying dad look at them, where is there mom at? But I find the kids safely are very normal.

So who can tell me about the sale in Newcastle? How does it compare to the Blanchard one - never been over there.

Good morning, we got a few drops of rain last night, not near enough, hope it hangs a round all day. Want to thank all of you for the support and for listening to my whining, i am sorry, it just gets to me sometimes, I am so glad to have friends like you all, I love birds of all kinds, have had them as long as I can remember, been gardening about that long too, it is hard to set back and watch as the day passes by, I thank God everyday for my family and friends, Buster we had a go round with Dakota and a spider bite, he was a very sick boy for a sew days, my prayers for you biddy, Elbert I love the pen, soapy water will kill wasp as quick as gasoline and a lot safer!!! You might think about putting a sheet of tin at the bottom of that cage, it will sure help with skunks, possums and short critters!!! Thank you all again for the prayers and just for being there, have a great day, Lynn

Elbert, We have used that long distance wasp spray but carburater spray works good in a pinch!

MacGuyver, it makes me almost sick to my stomach that I was too scared to take the Fav pullet. I've lost quite a few birds because last year I mixed them with other birds I'd gotten elsewhere, it's killed me to lose some of them knowing it was my fault. But that's why I just can't force myself to mix birds. I'm going to look for homes for the pullets and cockerels that I didn't really get attached to. It seems silly to keep them just because I feel sorry for them.

Hey, it's okay. She went to someone who breeds favs.

The difference between the two auctions are like night and day. I like Newcastle much better.

It will be nice having birds in that pen again. I bet that you have missed them.

Ya'll wanna hear something kinda funny?

For years Teva and I have been going to the Guy Rose auction S of Stillwater and for years we have spoke to Lynn but never "officially" met him until the first POOPS. It's hard for me to see Lynn not getting around as well as he should. At the auction he would be walking around and talking to everyone plus checking out the birds and the other side where the junk is.

Lynn I sure hope you can get that surgery done and get back to your old self again. As you know Teva is pulling for you as well.
