Why stop at the engine?  I rebuild the whole car.  

Lol, I do body work and painting too. Another hobby I picked up from my husband

Ok, I know some breeds you can tell at hatch, so I thought there might be a way with the AC's! Lol. I read about vent sexing and tried it on two chicks that hatched. Before anyone freaks out....I didn't really do it. I just looked real close, pushed around the belly a little (very gently) while looking to see if anything stuck out. kinda how you check a rabbit. I just did it for fun to see if my guesses were right. I wrote down 1 girl and 1 boy. Well when they grew up the opposite was true! So I blew a 50/50 shot on both of them!! I ordered a DNA test kit for 2 important chicks I have. I'd like to know now what they are for future planning. It's either $12 or $15 a chick (silkies take forever to sex) and I'm really excited to do it!
That's right, thanksgiving! I already had forgotten that! Can't wait till the hatch. You have to give me all the details. What have you been running for humidity? Now that I have some grown hens around, I need to go buy some oyster shell. Surprisingly they were on the exact same food type & brand that mine are on, so no change for them there. I put FF and grit in their cage today and they picked at both. They are being very talkative across the yard, back and forth with my chickens. It's pretty comical.
I like that story. Glad he ended up with you. My aunt had bought one JR puppy and she was the sweetest dog in the world. We used to joke around and call her "cat-dog" because she just wanted to lay in your lap and be pet. I used to watch her whenever they went on vacations. Best dog ever. So they decided to buy another one. A boy JR. He was a terror! He'd bite and destroy the whole house! Really wild, crazy dog. They found a farm for him to go live on, after they could not tame him. Two polar opposites.
The names are kinda similar, so I think he'll take to buster easy. I like that one better too.
I've been chatting with this man that I bought the hens from, via email. He has 90-100% hatch rate on shipped eggs with a hova-bator 1588. I asked what his secret was and he said that hatching in these trays made him go from 60% up to 90-100% each batch.

Just thought that was interesting so wanted to pass it on.

That's what I thought too.

I'm so excited!!

Look what the new girl just gave me!!! My very first egg!!

Yay! So she's at least adjusting! Congrats!

Saw a Harley in WI last summer with the coolest paint job I've ever seen; basically orange with airbrushed skulls & flames. Owner said the paint cost almost as much as the bike.

I'm only 110#, all the Harley's felt too top-heavy to me, even the Sportster.... not to mention the funds! I have a 650 Suzuki S40 (newer version of the old Savage). Cute little bike with plenty of power to keep up with hubby's 1500. We used to do a lot of riding... bike camping, etc. Haven't ridden it in a couple of years since I moved (and got involved with chickens!) Anybody wanna buy it? LOL

That's 1 thing I haven't mastered yet, riding the bike, lol. I've been trying to get my husband to get me a bike so I can learn but we haven't found 1 I like that we can actually afford yet. I would try to learn on his but it's pretty heavy and I want to learn on something not quite so top heavy. It's an 87 Honda CBR 1000 Hurricane. All those older crotch rockets were heavy as hell. I'm looking for something like a newer Yamaha R6 or maybe a Ninja 636 or something. I always liked the sport bikes myself.

I saw something similar to that, it was pretty cool looking. The coolest paint job I've seen was on a car. It was like a bluish purple color and it had airbrushed water drops in it, it looked sooo real. I have no clue how he did it but it was awesome. Those custom paint jobs get pretty expensive.

 

[meganhundley]

I've been dabbling with airbrushing but haven't quite got it down pat yet. You give me a pencil and paper and I can draw anything you want but airbrushing with paint is a whole nother ball game. I'm good at body work and basic paint jobs though.

Maybe you should combine the two & take up body painting...seems to be all the rage these days

Lol. I've seen those crazy people. I saw a guy on tv that tried to surgically make himself look like a tiger. His face and body were tattooed orange and black to look like a tiger and he had silicone implanted in his face like over his eyebrows and in his upper lip to look more "tigerish" and he had his cheeks pierced so he could put these whisker things in. It was ridiculous. Makes you wonder where these people work at to make all these thousands and thousands of dollars to have these surgeries done. And also be able to keep that job looking like that.
