Okies in the BYC The Original

No, the back up T stat takes over when the Master goes out. If it wasn't for the back up that thing could be running at 105 or 106 degrees when the main one goes out. It is a problem that you need to fix and fix now. If your back up t stat goes kaput you will fry everything in there. Also it needs to be set at a different temp than your main one. Your main t stat should be set at 991/2 degrees on a forced air cabinet bator. Set your back up at 101 degrees. At this temp you will be able to tell if your main one is doing it's job and holding temp at the 991/2, or if your back up has taken over. At 101 you won't cook everything and you can change out your bad wafer.

It is holding temp though. My Cabinet has 3 different thermometors on it and all reading the same. I am due to hatch today.

Wait til you hatch is over, you dont want to screw with it while hatching. But before you put eggs back in it reset your thermostat.

Well that's great that it is holding temp and it will probably get you through this hatch in fine shape. I hope it does. The deal is that if you are running on the back up the main one has quit working. If your back up fails at some time in the future , that is when you are likely to lose everything in the cabinet.

Compliments of Hi-Jacker - "Will Rogers"


Not sure if he actually said all of these, but liked them anyway....enjoy.....

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash with his best friend, Wylie Post, was probably the greatest political sage this country ever has known.

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3.. There are two theories to arguing with a woman . .. Neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.
8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.
12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

ABOUT GROWING OLDER...

First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.

Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.

'Got the gun(s) loaded...always

I'll venture out to bass pro for the call. Been doing a little reading, I think I'll try the scent/trap too.

I live in Winchester, just North of Okmulgee / Beggs

Thanks for the advice, wish me well. I hope to post photos. After looking at the State Regs, as long as it's a nuisance animal, no prob in dispatching it anytime year round.

Morning everyone. Hope all are having a great day.

In the military we give other branches of service a hard time and harass each other because of esprit de'corp. Collectively we

all support each other and we all serve the same people. A friend of mine sent me a web video that is awesome. A lot of people

don't understand how hard we train or the purpose behind training. All of our American Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen are

the best in the world because of training. Take a couple of minutes and view the video, have the sound turned up enough to hear

the precision. The Silent Navy Presidential Honor Guard.

Hi-Jacker

The school year is winding down. We had our undergrad awards ceremony this morning. It was wonderful to see so many hard working students rewarded for their efforts.

I lost a chick to the cold weather last night. He was teeny tiny, so he was probably the coldest and went to the bottom of the pile to get warm, where he was crushed by the rest of the chicks when the temperature dropped last night. I've got a trustworthy heat lamp over the brooder, but I guess it wasn't enough to satisfy the group. I've added a regular light bulb to help boost the temperature. Everyone seemed content when I left (eating, kicking wood chips, kicking wood chips into the water container). I checked all the smallest chicks, and they're spunky and energetic, so they must have been near or under a warm buddy.

DH finally replaced our old, old truck that his dad has been working on in OKC forever (carburators are uncommon these days). After reading about all the recent vehicle purchases I think it's safe to say BYC Okies are psychically linked. DH bought a used 4 X 4 Dodge Ram 3500 Deisel. I drove it to Tulsa and didn't have any trouble piloting it. I don't think one can actually "drive" a truck that size. It's more like pointing it where you want it to go, avoiding obstacles, and using mirrors to see areas that are otherwise invisible because the vehicle is so large. DH took a picture of himself the first time he filled the tank and then e-maild the photo to friends with the comment, "I'm feeding my pet mammoth."
