Because if you can get the judge to agree to suspend the ticket it gets dismissed after 6 months or a year depends on the judge or court and it never goes on your DMV record so your insurance company never finds out, Sort of as if it never happened only you will still have paid the fine and court costs, A suspended ticket is like a suspended sentence as long as you don't get another one in the same county or city wherever it was you got the ticket in the first place But, if you do then the new one and the suspended one both are submitted to the DMV and your insurance will see it the next time they review your record, I don't think you can get a ticket suspended without making the request to the judge in person,

Oh, I see. Will keep that as option 2 depending on what the lawyer says. The way I read it, I didn't do anything wrong. Anything's better than going onto insurance. I've got a teen boy up and coming soon. No chance of a repeat offense unless there's something vindictive done that day. I don't have any plans to ever return to the area after I get this stuff done.

I would think a couple pieces of PVC pipe, couple of caps, a "T", a reducer and some glue, It takes an 11/32nd drill bit and a tap for the same would make it easier some teflon tape to keep it from leaking and you should be in business

I bet a small light bulb placed under it would make a pocket of warmth to prevent it from freezing or an aquarium heater might keep it warm enough to do the same thing

In the pics, it looks like a clear reservoir where the nipples are right? So you can see when out or yucky maybe? There are a lot of clear containers you could use and could attach with the original spigot hardware. Heck, an empty mayo jar would work. Anything you can get your hand in. Cut off or disable the plug of the original spigot. We've used sun tea jars with bad spigots, little T's and tubing.

OMG! The guinea/snake pic.

The only issue I see with the clear that shouldn't be a problem with PVC is algae will grow in it like an aquarium in a window LOL the thing I like best about the nipples is you can put them in just about an kind of jug or tub I have some in 5 gal buckets and one 5 gal water bottle the kind you invert on a dispenser I put a thin strip of tape from top to bottom and spray painted the whole thing to try and prevent algae from growing when I took the tape off the clear strip makes it easy to tell how full it is.

And you are right just avoid the area or drive very carefully there for a while LOL

Hi Okies,
Just popping in to say, "Morning, everyone!" This is going to be a short (condensed) week, so I'm going to have to work like a crazy person to get five days worth of work into four days. I just hope we don't have any drills, impromptu concerts, guest speakers, class ring salesmen, or pep rallies interfering with the week's plan. Come to think of it, we may lose a chunk of Friday to a pep rally : _(

Anyway, I'm donning my headlamp so I can feed the flock and milk the goats. In the dark, one wouldn't want to feed the goats and milk the flock. Too many hens would be upset. Can't start the day with bad feelings. Have a wonderful week, everyone.

Good morning friends and neighbors! It`s going to be another hot one out there but the weather guessers are calling for cooler temps by the end of the week.

I hope y`all have a great day!

 

[artsyrobin]

Good morning folks- keep those birds cool, lost this pullet yesterday to the heat- she had already had one bout with heat stroke, i guess i should have brought her in- sigh




that leaves me with 3 young lf cochins, moved them to the porch so i can keep an eye on them...

 

[Ksane]

I'm sorry, Robin :-( You've had too many losses recently. I believe we all have.
This heat is bordering on ridiculous. According to this it's supposed to be 108 today?? And 106 tomorrow? W-T-F? (yes, you read the abbreviation right).


I finished a 4x8.5 frame (somehow I bought 2x4's that were 8.5' long-jeez). I made it 5' tall and it has a built in 3x4' coop that's 3' off the ground built into part of the top 1/2 of it so the birds will have the whole 34 sq ft underneath it plus 12 sq ft for a coop area. I have to put the 5' welded wire around the sides and top & make the built-in coop walls and some sort of a ladder, unless they can fly up into the coop. Still undecided who I'm going to put in in. It's way cheaper to caponize males for $40 a piece and just leave them in with who they hatched with than it is to build them separate pens/coops. I'm still debating on who to caponize and these Bantam Ameraucanas are like the size of pigeons yet, they just seem so tiny to go through surgery. Sometimes if I procrastinate things just sort of work themselves out. So I'll do that for awhile and see how it goes

Killed two brown recluse spiders in my computer room this morning. One was actually IN the sterelite brooder with three silkie chicks, and the other was climbing the outside. I guess they were after the water. Killed four a couple of weeks ago in the master bathroom. Have sprayed all the perimiter of the bathroom, inside the garden tub and all around the edges of everything in there. I plan to spray the entire house, but since I'm a packrat, my computer room and the closets will be a real chore. The rest of the house shouldn't be bad. Then I need to spray all the outside at ground level.

I'm wondering if the spiders could be responsible for the loss of the two tiny baby chicks. I really thought the paint showgirl would survive, but the other, though quite normal at hatching, didn't hold itself right from early on. Does anyone know if spiders would bit tiny chicks if they felt threatened?.

 

[emach0301]

Oh my goodness! The snake and guinea picture is hilarious! Ive never had guineas before, will they actually attack a snake? Let alone kill it? If thats the case! I need to get some!!

 

[artsyrobin]

i have seen my guineas and ducks and chickens follow a snake, but haven't seen them actually kill a large snake, but have heard they do.

yes mitzi, it seems like its been that kind of year- entirely too many losses- and i can only bring so many in- the seramas have permenant cages in the studio, so when its hot i shift them in, but this last heat wave seems to have been one to much on the little cochin- sigh

My chickens & guineas have killed several small snakes this year. Not any larger ones, but I'm thankful for the small ones they've gotten. Also I've seen the road runners (we've got about 5 that live around here) running off with snakes 3-4 ft in length in their mouths. Speaking of road runners, I saw 2 little baby ones in the front yard last night fighting over a bug, it was so cute!
