@lindalouly which link are you going to end up using for the members of this HAL?? I would like to see what everyone is setting

Right now they both should be identical.. I only got up to page 120... taking a little break before I go on. I think I will use mine cause I havent talked to Chaos about using his yet.

End of day 20 we have a pip on the wrong end...so I'll be watching that one closely. Several eggs rocking, and quite a bit of chirping!

I've never been this scared and reluctant to set eggs. This isn't my first (second or third) hatch. It's not even my first (second or third) hatch this year. They're just staring at me.


Current fear: baby sitter will adjust the thermostat in the house (she wears sweatshirts in summertime) and fry the eggs.

Ohhhh geeezzz camping... Can I have your list of eggs to add to the membership article please.

@lindalouly

12 isbar
4 bielefelder
4 merlerault
4 niederrhiner

UNDETERMINED number of camp eggs. Hoping to find HRIR in the boxes today.

Looks like we have similar evenings planned. You don't by any chance has have a 4th grade chorus concept to attend too do you?
GOOD LUCK with the wrong end one.

As long as there aren't any big chunks of mud and poo stuck to it you can set it as is. The link I gave above has some great info in it if you choose to wash it.

You can also dip it in vinegar and warm water and then let air dry. The vinegar will kill the bacteria either by the pH or the drying (rapid evaporation = cooling at a rate that bacteria can't survive. That is how alcohol works.)
