: Ok...so you are purposefully breeding flies. With all the horses I have we have a ton of flies, I believe that would be the last thing I breed. Pray God I hope I don't ever breed flies. Cool contraption though and very handy that you made... impressed me!

You need some Muscovy Ducks.

They are the best at reducing fly populations.

I was going to make his system, but then found the broken shop vac and a light bulb went on over my head.

Just popping in to let ya'll know that Roger's surgery is over and he is in ICU. The doctor removed a total of 5 grams of tissue which includes the lingual tonsils. He said he could not even see the vocal cords because of the extra tissue in his trachea...now they can be easily viewed.
He is in a good amount of pain but pain meds are helping...maybe he will be some good rest. I know he is getting excellent care by the ICU nurses
It was "too cold to leave the dogs outside" so Roger had me house them in our bedroom since 2:45 am. Roger shooed me out once the pain meds kicked in to "check on the dogs". When I got home, I found two wonderful dogs with a spotless carpet...GOOD Gracie and Red!! Extra milk bones for you! Of course, they nearly knocked me down to get out the door....

Don't know if Roger will come home Wed or Thursday yet. Will check with the ICU nurse this evening.
Thank you for lifting us in prayer.

I'm gonna take a nap and will come back later to catch up on the 30 plus pages...BYC Okies have been busy today.

I love that this one is a dark blue/red , which is more impressive to me than the lighter blue/reds.
