Surviving Minnesota!

I am wasting the day can you tell?

I have not even opened the barn yet....really lazy.

I have had to wear a Holter monitor for the last 23 1/4 hours I can take in off at 10 after 11. I am waiting patiently. I am thinking the mushroom hunt will give the cardiologists fits.

I am also waiting for Holm to get here. I went down and candled my eggs it is day 11, I seldom candle eggs until day 18.

I have turned into the worlds worst hatcher lately. I have 12 PC eggs in the incubator not one is developing. BUT I will leave them in and cross my fingers I just did not see anything in them.

I am wondering if Ed is refusing to do his duties while in a cage/pen inside or and my forcing the molt has the light time too dim or short for him to be fertile.... Thoughts on that?

I have 45 toad eggs in only 3 seem to be developing. I am thinking too many rooster is the problem, I might have to take all except one rooster out and raise them in a different pen. I have always had some problems with toad fertility, But this is a new low.
Or do you think it is just the shortening of the days doing it?

but you also never candle
do you give artificial light to help??

See IF they are the $20 on line and if not - I can swing into Tractor and Co in Elk River for BOTH of you and find out if there are any there for that price. Let me know what you see and what you want me to do.
DO NOT USE THE CHAIN SAW! There are limits as to what we, as the fairer sex, should be willing to do. DO NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE CHAIN SAW! ! ! And the mess? It isn't going anywhere. It will be there when it dries out and the sun shines and the DH is around. That is my HO - not that you asked for it.

i even looked on TSCs site and ebay, ebay was cheaper but still $35

i am also rather short
i think you are correct

At least we have feet! Short? Tall? The feet are to be walked on. I have a big nose!

I have taken the light from ED to force the molt. I do not give the toads artificial light, I might have to now if I expect to get any hatch rate before March.

Giving cardiologists fits is grand fun.

It could be all I have left to do in this world....Might as well do it well.

You guys are just scary, my PC boys are very sweet.

Have you bathed them? That seems to be the turning point at which they are not so nice anymore.

 

[lvie]

I have to run a few errands before I can stop at Ralphie's. I will be super nice and go out of my way and stop at T&C and see if they have the boots. If they are cheap enough I will purchase two pair, size 8. Now I won't be back for a few hours so don't stare at the screen ladies. And I am hesitant to purchase without you saying 'YES'. So tell me what you want me to do if they are $20 to $25.

Naw, they aren't heading for shows so I haven't thought of torturing them with that.
