Surviving Minnesota!

[Bogtown Chick]

Ok professor Ralphie I'm sorry to do this to you but CO2 is actually carbon dioxide which is as you know exhaled as a waste product from aerobic creatures such as ourselves, other animals and a myriad of bacteria. It also then gets changed back to O2 when plants use it as fuel.
Carbon monoxide CO ( one oxygen atom) is present in exhaust when fuel is burned and in itself is colorless and odorless. So janitor is ok to say CO but would be more correct saying fuel exhaust. CO binds to red blood cells irreversibly and makes them unable to carry O2 and CO2. Thereby suffocating.
Dangerous stuff CO.

And Minnesota probably just signed off for the night from too much nerding. Hahaha.

There you have it layers.

I need to ask,,,,,,,,,


Who in their right mind would build a school to only last 15 years?

If it is just for 15 years, make a tent!

I don't know! I think they needed the room to get all the Richardton, Taylor, Gladstone, some Hebron, and some Dickinson kids in so they built a cheap school.

When it rains or snows, or any precipitation our principal superintendent counselor and any free teachers are running around getting buckets and garbage cans to catch the many leaking spots. The total I know of is now is around 15, along with one 4 foot area, all because of a flat roof.
On our new school the architect wanted it to have another flat roof with 'invisible' gutters.
A bunch of parents said they wouldn't help pay or donate if they did that since that's our biggest problem right now. This whole process has been a mess, starting with some, um.. Well same gender couples at prom and some big donaters wanted to back out of it.
One mom, who doesn't even live in the rural area was complaining and throwing a fit because farmers and ranchers have to pay a high tax because of it, even though all of the farmers and ranchers are for the new school...

I just spent 2 hours in my carhartts. With the Chickens. Do not think less of me chickeneers, but I was not a good girl scout this fall and have just now plugged in the electric cords and battened down the plastic that the last winter storm tore apart. New plastic on the run...just makes all the difference in the world for those birds. That run just got a whole lot cozier. I moved the water to my plug in --in the coop. It had been in the run the whole time. switching it out with another waterer each day had been working well with temps in the 30's. Even when it went down to some 20's at night. I just take off the little crusts of ice or switch. Well Old Man Winter has reared his ugly face out there...and its cold. So the procrastinator that I am I just took my lunch hour and then some to get situated again. Depoop-piled a bit....Fresh shavings on top of the older ones. Filled the feeder... Comfy Cozy in there. Let the winter winds blow.

Yep - that one wins first place so far! I plugged up a 'venting' opening in my coop today. Too much wind! Now it is quite cozy. 21 birds keep it warm.

Ok professor Ralphie I'm sorry to do this to you but CO2 is actually carbon dioxide which is as you know exhaled as a waste product from aerobic creatures such as ourselves, other animals and a myriad of bacteria. It also then gets changed back to O2 when plants use it as fuel.
Carbon monoxide CO ( one oxygen atom) is present in exhaust when fuel is burned and in itself is colorless and odorless. So janitor is ok to say CO but would be more correct saying fuel exhaust.

CO binds to red blood cells irreversibly and makes them unable to carry O2 and CO2. Thereby suffocating.
Dangerous stuff CO.

And Minnesota probably just signed off for the night from too much nerding. Hahaha.

There you have it layers.

Darn.. You are right, I have no idea how I did that. She said carbon monoxide,,,DUH I wrote carbon dioxide....I guess I fail basic science too, I will be at the bus stop with layers tomorrow.



Carbon dioxide makes the pretty shade of pink in the nails right?

Nothing like money to make peoples opinions come out. We recently had a referendum here as well and I was amazed/disappointed in how some people acted in town. One very wealthy good ol' boy here would only donate if they would rename an old historical building in one of the campuses after him. The referendum board told him where he could shove his money and rightfully so.

Things that force people to pay more taxes can drive small towns against each other!

Rofl.

Ralphie take a selfie of you and layers at the bus stop.

Kloppers as a chem minor I had to... Too much nerd screaming at me. It could not be contained. Rofl.

So true. So true...

Yeah we've had some ugly in our town over school referendums. Opinions are like butt holes. Everybody has one. It's a pity that kids get tied up in it honestly.
