1 week until the 1st track meet, I wonder if they will postpone it...

This is the school's parking lot, that we aren't allowed to park in because whoever put the scoria in a couple of weeks ago did the drainage wrong so it is a swamp...

Maybe you can have a track meet in snow shoes!!!

I’d hate for you to have to use your truck to move snow... Maybe Mrs Judy would so gladly go use her shoveling skills on the driveway? It may be good practice for next winter?

I use the bobcat....I wish I had a plow for the truck.....

I am going to have use the loader instead of the plow,,,which makes it more work for poor me.

Neither of them is broody, but neither ever leaves when the other arrives. 3 boxes, 4 hens. Always fight over this box. It's also the one with 6 golf balls in it.

I should move the balls and see what happens. Both other boxes are empty.

Beautiful.
As long as it looks like that at your house and not mine.

Replaced the turner motor on the sportsman incubator . During my research on the problem I found a tip on GQF site . Sometimes the motor sticks and you can grasp the motor shaft with pliers and pull and turn it . Did not help mine so I replaced the motor . Working fine now . You have to grasp motor shaft from the opposite side that hooks up to trays . You can not move that side . I tried . Had to reread the tip . Slow learner I guess .

Ok I went through and found two cracked eggs and removed all my CLB/Dom eggs as they never start anyways. Then I removed a few OE eggs and left all purebred eggs and six EE as some of te eggs were too nice to eat...

PS don’t mind the duck eggs by the tray... They are strictly for eating... I hate hatching Dux as they take too long and I’m impatient...

That’s a duck egg? I have a chicken that lays an egg like that.

The white ones to the side I meant... oops... The pretty green egg is one from an EE I got from Ralphie...

Incubator seems to fluctuate about a degree. Am I better with 100-101 or 99-100?
