Frost huh

nothing near the house got hit but the garlic patch next to the coop got tipped pretty good. That didn't matter really because I will probably be harvesting that in the next few days anyway. We were able to cover the heirloom pumpkins and hard squash that we had planted out in the field garden in tires and my special seed patch of French laced pumpkins that had gotten huge because they were planted in the compost pile. Took a fair number of blankets but they all came thru just fine. Should get crispy again tonight but not frosty. Today there was a warm sun but the air was still a bit crisp so it felt more like a warm September afternoon than a cool July one.

My herb garden is absolutely loving this summer but not much else is. My peppers have given up and if we don't get some warm nights soon the tomatoes will too. They are nice bushy plants but about half the height they should be by now and just beginning to set fruit. Oh well, at least I'm picking zuchinni and we should have a ton of potatoes.
 
Does anyone here know if a baby chick can get Vent Gleet?

Not usually but they can have digestion problems. Pasty butt is one of those.

Give them:

Chick grit
a bit of plain yougurt
scrambled eggs
some vitamins and electrolytes
They should be eating a good chick crumble(I would not be giving them fermented feed--a bad batch could cause problems)

Vent gleet is a fungal infection and usually happens after sour crop.

I have fed my chickens and my larva. My son says I'm officially a red neck!! It's about time. I've lived in Texas my whole life.
Raising the larvae is more of a Berkeley California thing--It is too much work to be red neck.....

...unless it involves duct tape....
 
Ok everyone, about to vent warning!!!

I decided to set my desktop up to recieve the Win10 update that is "supposed" to start rolling out on July 29 to developers and beta testers (which I forgot to get this machine signed up for) then
those who have reserved their copies in advance. They are describing the roll out as coming in "waves" with the POS folks getting the update/install patch last and everyone else that hadn't gotten their machines approved in advance somewhere in the middle.
ANYWAY, I haven't had this machine on for awhile and now it's doing 130 so-called critical updates before I can get the stupid pre-approval button to appear on my taskbar!!!

On top of that my PCP has been declared an idiot by my insurance company cancer nurse (long story-when you are dxd w/cancer you get closely tracked by a nurse who calls you regularly and/or any time something different shows up on your insurance/drug claims). I have to say even tho the nurse can be a bit of a pest at times, any of them I have ever dealt with (you get a new one occasionally) I have been extremely happy and with our coverage with UHC. Anyway, back to my new PCP being an idiot, I am afraid I have to totally agree with the nurse. She is supposed to call me back tomorrow to find out if he has changed the latest treatment procedures (or lack of) after I finally managed to get an answer from him. She is NOT going to be happy with the response so I might have started a war

. Since this is important I think I am forced to seek out a new PCP which will mean going 40 miles in the opposite direction from our house to a different hospital from my hubby that I have never been to (up here all the clinics are in hospitals). What a mess. At least I still have the best Hematology Oncologist in the world (well worth the 2+ hour drive to his clinic)

Oh goody. I just checked and my update 39% complete. At this rate I should be done in time for supper and I'm supposed to have DSL!!!!
