Surviving Minnesota!

Thanks . I will need good references . There are some real stinkers among the subs . I have hired a few .

Finding a good plumber is another trick up here. None are that great...but even in a field of many in St. Cloud when we built there...we had the same issue. Great electrician. Sketchy plumber.

I can tell you the lesser of the evils up here. He's a pretty good guy overall. But he sort of works at his pace.

. Which is what all of them do...but he's the fastest of the lot.

My dad is friends with a plumber and a electrician so we never have a hard time finding one of those.

I finally figured out how to get rid of the fruit flies by my corn fodder! Lemongrass essential oil!! I am an essential oil junky!! I use them for everything!!

You are too funny, Holm!

They are weirdly addicting. I was introduced last winter. And although I think them a bit foo-foo yet, their main thing they do for me is calming and soothing smells (which may be half the battle as a stress reducer). I did put on some Thieves on Holly my BA, though last week...and by-george she may be feeling better. I saw her ruthlessly go after my buff EE, Marigold yesterday over a hunk of pork fat.

Lol I use them to make the coop smell good, leg injuries and all sorts of stuff. My mom sells oils through Young living. Its a weird process... But anyways my mom and aunt are addicted and have ALOT of oils.

WITCHCRAFT!!!!!




Where are the judges from Salem when we need them?



I had a much better egg day today, I got 14 eggs so far and had 3 hens on the nests.. I guess they got the hint when I told them how much our Chicken Rice soup was last night...

How was the dentist, ralphie? All patched up?

Glad to hear eggs are up. One of my coops is struggling lately. 7 eggs for 23 hens yesterday. I was on the hunt for a hidden best but have found anything. There isn't anywhere for them to go really

Ralphie do you have a hatching tray and cover with that 1202 ?

Ralph I found 57 bottles of witch craft in my house! Mr. T is going to be wearing some peace and calming when he comes to your place. I think it will help him on the 3 and a half hour journey!

Holm...how are you transporting Mr.T? I've had luck using my dog airline crates with a towel draped over the front. Its dark and they usually go to sleep.

I'm enjoying the convo about inspectors! I have to deal with various inspectors all over the country...building inspectors, fire inspectors, port authority inspectors, FAA inspectors...

. I'm feeling your pain...daily!!

Rhetts....now you've made me hungry!! Sounds like a great dinner ahead!
