Okies in the BYC The Original

[Buckguy20]

Well I knew we got a lot of rain last night but figured a couple inches. The weatherman said our area got 5 to 6 inches overnight.
I feel lucky I didn't lose any birds.
When I checked on one pen of them last night there were some idiot birds sleeping ouside and I tried to put them inside but they went nuts so I just said Ok your gonna get wet.
They did but they survived.

Greybear : I have tried to freeze them before not a good idea, mushrooms are made of a High % of water and breakdown after freezing & thawing, Neecy may have some good idea on the subject.

Monty : I plan on the coming to look for Momma, the second trap is set up right next to her, I plan on making the whole family suffer LOL, I know it may sound cruel but my birds safety comes first.

6" holy cow can't complain about that you lucky dog. I poured that big concrete slab job today and with my luck it will probably come a downpour tonight, I layed it pretty dry just in case and it was curing good when I left at 6:00pm, 50 yds all total 5 full trucks wish me luck tonight.

Coons... What would you do with them if you wanted them to live ?
Drive them off somewhere or the pound? Don't people sale them in the paper ?
Anyways... My garden has given me many of veggie to many really and many a weed.... I may try to can some. Neighbors are looking the other way when I come by as I have given so many away. Meals on wheels take them to.

For those of our new members and members who were unable to attend the Okies in the BYC POOPS, it is a family oriented affair, where members come to meet the folks we talk to everyday on this forum, and enjoy the one thing we all have in common our fondness of poultry. This year promises to be one you do not want to miss, and as I stated it will be bigger and better than ever, this year we are planning the following.

We tried so very hard to choose a date for this event that would fit 99.9% of are available members, the weather, POOPS planning and reservation schedule, and local and regional events. The good folks at KOA have been so gracious to have invited us back and we recieved some very good positive feedback from are members, that this was a good fit for our needs. As a group we are known for are steadfastness once we set our minds to a task, it is now up to each and every one of us to come together and contact the appropriate principle to offer any help and suggestions, ya'll know the drill. The principle heads will start to post a list of names and services volunteered as it begins to come together in their areas.

I am not an advocate of rehoming coons as you have to place them in the country somewhere and I will never let that coon be someone elses problem, there are just way to many of them to save any. Thats just me!!! they are destructive, carry rabbies, raid trash cans, make a mess, and are a neusance to everybody who lives in the country.

Yeah! Beth talked about coons and then was talking about having too many veggies in her garden and what to do with them but I took that part out.
See how a little editing can totally change things.

OK, I really tried to see the face in the clouds, but no can do. But I could never see those pictures in the swiggly lines either.

TJ's Nana just dehydrated a box full of FRESH shrooms. And said it worked out great.
John is getting ready for a HUGE inspection tomorrow. UDSA is coming in, he has already been warned that only 4 mushroom farms in the US has ever passed.

So he is beyond stressed!!! Keep him in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow. WHEN he passes this inpection this will be big for him and the company since so few farm pass.
