Yea that maybe something I will need to do, Thanks for that heads up

It's possible you're in a bad spot. T-mobile offers free roaming, so if their network isn't picking you up and maybe at&t is, you'll use the at&t towers without incurring a charge. Check your phone settings and make sure that they're automatically searching for a network.

There could be a smaller carrier that may not contract for roaming where you are and has better service, but I am no help to you there. I know when my husband drives very often neither of his phones will work in certain parts of TX and NM and they are two separate carriers. Before I moved to OK, all I had was a cell phone. There were not enough towers in the area so I used to practically have to do gymnastics to get a signal. I feel your pain.

For some reason I want to say that verizon has better coverage in smaller cities. You could look into that. I hear a lot of mixed things on their service and plans.

Ahh poor little henny. That is why I refuse to have roosters who do not treat their ladies right.

well, since he has just barely started noticing the girls, thought i'd give him a little time- if he is still rough by poops, he'll probably be finding a new home- since he is a brahma, i am hoping he will relax some- he is nothing like the first roo- this afternoon i let the girls in the run for some quiet time- like you do with kids- 'time out', and when he went back in the gals were like...wow! where have you been?? and i noticed this afternoon that one of the non-interested girls is a bit less aggressive to him... maybe the saddles will help​

Hola!

Things is getting ugly here. Got done with Bible study and it was snowing! Big ol' wet flakes! Been raining most of the afternoon and now snow...funny thing is it is warm like 37. It is piling up though...already got an inch it looks like. The wife is freaking. I had to go put stupid birds into shelter. they were roosting outside...there isplenty of unused space but when a bird gets an idea that is there space they don't quit it...no matter if they have snow piled on their backs! Then some crazy cat came screaming out of the garage and hit me in the leg..yeah Iscreamed like I was scared...cuz I was! Thougth it might have been a chupacabra.

Snow coming this direction is NOT cheerful news. Did you get the last round about thawed out before this began this evening?

 

[Teach97]

well...we had played hard enough to melt the front yard off. The back yard had been packed more into cool slippery paths front the deck to the chickens and garage. The roads were fine but we have the equpiment up here to handle it. We had just cleared the parking lot at school...

good news...we did not clip the goats...not sure about the bathing process but we will do what we can for the local show Sat. It doesn't look like the kind of snow to stop school.

I don't want to hear ANYTHING about bad weather... was buried at work today, will be buried again tomorrow... might be able to dig myself out of this hole with a backhoe!

Of course, that didn't stop me from ordering an incubator from hoodoo

As far as I know, I'd have to get a permit... and I don't have the room at my house to raise quail along with everything else... have been trying to convince J that HE wants quail, but he ain't buying it.

Make them! Seriously! AL set us up with directions on how to make feeders out of 5gal buckets with trays under them... I have a conventional 3gal waterer and a rubber bowl that I use as waterers because well... I haven't got the muscle mass to lift a full bucket of water for the waterer.

 

[Teach97]

muscle mass...heck she ain't tall enough when you put the handle up on the bucket!

Wait...I just used the out loud voice again...stupid fingers type whatever i think!

We have debated the quail thing but I am going with no permit for cotournix quail and buttons! I have both!
