Southern NY, Dutchess county and below

I was at Costco yesterday.
Sold out of generators.

We moved out of NY in 1994.
We came back. STOOPID!

They're just letting you know you're a Grandma!

Don't forget to make sure al least one BBQ bottle is full.
Or alot of places have charcoal on sale.
I rather have a burger off the grill than some sorry other shiRt.
Going out to get a few extra bags of feed.
Ya never know...

I have Mareks vaccine. Working on needles.
NY we need prescriptions. sigh.

But I do have needles that will work, just a little long.

Remember once the bottle is activated, it's only good for an hour or two.
As far as I know, it's still backordered. I have 3 sets if you want one let me know.
Doc Brown is supposed to call me this am.

And once you use it, everything needs to be incinerated.
Vera takes care of that where she works.
These are "live" vaccines and can wreak havok if not properly disposed of.

Oh I bought needles with mine a 2 pack of 3cc for transferring
the diluent and A 2 pack of the ones for injecting. I was gonna divide
up the wafer into 2 doses and share with JersyHen but they sent
me a vile of powder weird bag of diluent with a nipple thing so I
can't divide it. Im only using one each of the needles do if you want
the other 2 you can have them.

One of the eggs in my incubator pipped on the side of the egg.
I hope it survives. I'm keeping an eye on it in case I have to try
and help it out of the shell

Ooh ooh another one started to hatch and is chirping.
So cute. I love this.

 

[Toxic Chicken]

I don't get why they pack the vaccine for 1000 doses.
I mean really who can vaccinate 1000 chicks in one hr
before the virus dies.

 

[Toxic Chicken]

Ok I need to walk away from the incubator.
I already opened it twice. I know better.

Just walk away. Walk away. Ugh! Ill go knit something.
Ugh. This is the worst part of hatching chicks.

Rosie,

You are going to love your fireplace insert! We have a good sized house and it heats the whole thing in winter. If we're home, our oil burner never comes on. Save a bundle on your heating bills!

Enjoy!

I've been looking at the Radars. Oy. I do not need this Sandy mess.

I've put together a small list of emergency things to do- if anyone is like me, I need a list in front of me when in panic mode.

They're saying wide spread long term power outages, so peeps-you know what to do to save your frozen stuff! Freeze as many bottles of water as you can fit in the freezer, and fit them into every open nook in the freezer. Place some extras on top of things, to use in the fridge as well. The closer the stuff is together-the longer it will stay frozen, or cold.

Batteries!! Can't stress the importance of having TOO many of these. I always stick up until I say "I really don't need all of these durned things", then I get a few more. The silliest things need batteries.
Fill the car gas tank. Too expensive? I know, but if there's an evacuation-those stations will already be shut down. Out here-with the size of the storm-this is a REAL possibility. The other possibility is that the gas stations won't be opening for awhile (They need electricity too) unless you have one of those old old old gas stations that has manual pumps.

Pasta, bottled water, and canned sauce. These are things that last fore a very long time. Make sure you have enough.

Fill all prescriptions if they are going to run out soon. Pharmacies are all on computers and they cannot refill you without accessing your records.

Along the same lines-keep some cash on hand-ATM's credit cards will be useless.

Tape the windows and glass doors. Bring all things that could become airborne, inside. use masking tape. Duct tape will leave impossible to remove gummy gook on your windows. After taping, pull drapes once the storm arrives-even blinds will help if your windows blow in.

If you have a fire place for heat-bring in all the wood you're gonna need. That includes kindling. They're saying we could get some snow with this. Be ready to keep warm. Blankets, sweatshirts, warm socks-simple things. Make them accessible.

Flashlights, lanterns and candles. Have lots. Walmart sells double packs for something like 4 dollars. I have loads of these for camping. I'll be checking them and replacing batteries. I also have 2 of those big battery operated lanterns. Good to eat dinner by or play games with the kids (or adults) Monopoly saved my sanity last year. the kids were happy and occupied.

Lighters! Those long candle lighting lighters are a lifesaver as well. I use them for everything and keep several extras around my house. You can also light the stove with them!!

I'm sure most of you know all of these things, but I think I just helped myself by making a list of stuff I need to check on as well. Please-everyone stay safe and if you lose power, please check in as soon as you can. We all can feel better if we know everyone is ok.

I'm going shopping early this morning-just a few more basics. I also need extra dog food, cat food, bird food and chicken food. (I think that's all the animals I have...) OH fish food? No-I have enough fish food. My fireplace insert is being installed today, so I have to be done and home by 11:30. With football all weekend, and shopping for my middle guys birthday on Tuesday (last one in October! YAY!) today is the only day for stocking up some more.

Just when I thought last Halloween couldn't be topped. I had a foot and a half of snow!
NoJoke....grrrr... Go away Frakenstorm!!!!

YAY!! they just got here, so they're messing around outside with the chimney. My dog is very put off that she can't play with the men, and the chickens saw the ladder and ran. We've heard so many wonderful things about inserts, it was just about time! (At 4.35 a gallon of oil...it was way PAST time!!)

Thanks, Carol!
