Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

Cochins are not supposed to be good egg layers. They are reported to be good broodies.

I would not go to heavy into them if wanting eggs.

We want to get her some banties. We have LF chickens for egg production, and LF brooding.
She's into Cochin Bantams. =)

Good Morning.

I made espresso in my moka pot this morning. I then bought a large coffee at the coffee shop on campus.

I was wondering this morning if I should process a CCL(crested cream legbar) or two to make noodle soup out of. I have four cockerels and they are starting to crow...Not very big but I bet they will be tasty!

I must need Coffee I read process CCL as conceal carry license a few times

See, that is why I spelled it out! Acronyms can be so confusing.

ALASKAN DUCK!!!!
The storm of the century is heading your way!!!

Or so says the TV this morning. Seriously, stay safe

I think it is giant storm for you folks from other places...not sure that it is impressive for here.

There was a discussion about it on one of the Alaskan Facebook sites this morning. They were going over how we often have 100 mile an hour winds.....

Some of the islands out in the Aleutians actually have thick metal cable anchored in giant cement blocks so that their roofs don't rip off in the big winds they get.

so,

if I will get much of anything.

I did get lots of gusting winds and buckets of RAIN all last night, and still now, but it has NOT washed away the snow.........we all know what that means

bantam Brahmas are cute. not broody (at least the ones I have had), but don't lay much.

I have been wanting to get some bantam leghorns, now those would lay well and not be broody!!! They come in lots of colors too, but in general Leghorns are not snugly, the Brahmas will snuggle.

We never have the season of SNOW here in the Sacramento valley, so I do not know what that means

Ummm, no. Not really. Does it mean ice? cold mud? cold muddy ice?

Why did you leave Texas?

You should commute; summers up there, winters down here.

 

[Alaskan]

it means a thick layer of ice on top of the layer of snow.

And I, OF COURSE, still have summer tires on...not winter tires.

I am happy to slip slip slide down my driveway AFTER the snow berms are high enough to keep me from rolling down the hill.....but as of this moment we have no berms to help the car stay on the road.

Rolling my car down the side of the hill would cost me a great deal of money.



I am ALWAYS late in putting on my snow tires, because I hate the thought of wearing down my expensive studs on clean roads. I want to make sure that there is a layer of ice and snow everywhere I go, before I put those expensive things on.

 

[Alaskan]

I left Texas because too many non-Texans kept moving into the state,

I don't like people..... also I was running away from the in-laws.......unfortunately, they followed us up here.

I also CLEARLY was deluded when I thought that I could be happy in the cold.

Spouse said that we got ONE, and ONLY ONE move after marriage....... so, if I wanna move, spouse has to die (diabolical laugh)

@TeaChick We've got laminate floors, but from the robots point of view, they're no different from the hardwood. It also does well on ceramic tiles, or plastic floors. A carpet floor shouldn't be a problem either. We don't have thick rugs, those would probably problematic for it, but other carpets it's fine on. And it switches between surfaces well. Adding the pet brush to it made it more quiet, and it works better on carpets. For us, it's been really great since you can program it to go off whenever you want. Our's does a daily cleaning on weekdays at 14.00 (that's 2 pm for you Yanks). It is a lot slower than vacuuming yourself, so it's good to let it do it while you're away from home. And another benefit it has, is that socks and other similar things will get tangled in it and stop it from working, so it forces you to tidy up stuff every day. Reflective surfaces and low furniture can be a problem though. I had to add a ½inch elevating bit to our couch, because it kept getting stuck under it. Now it works like a charm. Before the couch was about 2mm lower than the Neato, so it got stuck. It also comes with 7 feet of magnetic strip which you can place under a carpet if you don't want it to go on it. You can buy more of the magnetic strip. Watching videos where the Neato was compared to the Roomba, I liked the Neato better, because it works in a more systematic way. The Roomba had a very random pattern, while the Neato does one room at a time, moving in straight lines. And it goes around obstacles and furniture nicely too. I haven't seen a Roomba in action in real life though.
