Dude. Pet stomach cleansing is never fun especially when woken up to help with the aftermath.... My Better-half is also the one with a inability to clean that stuff up....

As for g33kie WX data..... Here's some stuff to chew on.... A few are showing what it used to look like, a few look neat, some updated standbys still exist & well.... More links of curiosity:


One last attempt at the old site:

Weather.unisys.com & vice versa

Need up with this spiral of sites & blogs

This thread in a WX forum from 2019:

And some raw data sites I recognize:

You have already linked here before as well:

And of course my lamenting of the loss, per say of this site that merged into WX underground....
https://www.wunderground.com/intellicast

This site will die next year 2021:

https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/index.php

I think I'll try testing these for user friendly status:

This is a 4.9GB zip file!

That is so much linkage it is hard to digest. Ima gunna need a few breakfast tacos to digest all of it. Thankfully your internet problems seem fixed now. notepad to the rescue for the export. I hate 9 am breakfast tacos, they sat in the warmer since 6 am. JFTR

DSL is still very much schitzophrenic (sp) at best. The local tech visit appointment is still on for tomorrow. Our download speeds have gone back up a teeny bit but, the upload was only up to "normal" for almost 2 full days before dropping back to 100-200KB/s or in other words 0.1-0.2 MB/s aka ~25% of normal. So I can search WX but, some sites still timeout when it's not been to in a longtime. Even with the browser set to 600 for timeout.

Breakfast tacos sound like a great idea.... Oooff. Did the cleanup cause you to forget them in the toaster oven for so long? I've had *that* happen to me many times over - this year alone.

As for sites. Digest away. I'll piddle with them over the next 2 weeks for sure myself for user friendliness too.

Thank god I only thumbnail images any more as I have been there and done that too. My heart goes out to you. Not like anyone wants a full screen image of a 7Dmk2 anyways. What is up with 25 MB .jpg images anyway? I haven't done the taco run yet I'll be calling instead so the kucina knows to make me some fajita mehicanos.

Speaking of the 7D....
Here's my wife's 1st DSLR from 2010 that got lost in the houses over the last 5+years. I found it again this spring in a drawer, "no where near where I would of expected to see it." It's gonna get a proper cleaning in August & a test run to see where it's at as well as it's battery status too. If it even holds a charge....

So my car seemed to kill a silkie on my way to get tacos. That is a first. They are stupid but car smart. I just noticed it on my way back to the property from getting those fresh tacos. Fajita ala Mexicano things as I don't like em with bell peppers. Oh well I just toss em over the back fence DW will decide if she wants to dig a hole today. I was one of our "divas" Tiny or Funky probably was brooding the distributor cap. Stupid silkies. I checked her over and don't see trauma from being crushed under a tire.

I have said it before probably 100 times but Silkies find the stupidest ways to die it is almost an art form for the breed.

Later Edit- So when she was tossed over the fence this evening she was obviously sliced open by the car, so I can feel better about not running her over at least. Why on earth would a chicken be by the radiator fan(silkie drama)?

I've been doing fermented feed for about 8 years steady now for my 70 hens. This summer, though. I just could not face mixing up the grains in my hellfire oven of a feed room, so I switched to layer pellets for a couple of months. It's only been 3 weeks now and I'm remembering why I loved the FF so much. The smell of chicken poop just slams into me when I walk into the barn. I had completely forgotten how much they would smell before I started the FF. They don't seem to like it as much either. I've got another can and a half before I need to restock, but now I'm starting to think I might not wait until mid September to start back.

Still trying to figure out how to get rid of these extra roos. I've got a friend who's into hunting/gathering/all-natural-sourced eating and he's coming for 5 of my adult roos, but no one is interested in the littles.

So wife doesn't want to dig a hole for Punky Diva(thanks Hanna) and she shoveled her up earlier, buzzards are around for her already so I need to do the fence toss soon. I do not drive like a maniac so still have no idea how that silkie could have died. Oh well I have more silkies about than I can remember the names my wife gives them anyway.

Hmmmmm, I have been aware of fermented feed in threads but, have yet to really read into it. Do you have any threads you would recommend reading to really get a solid grasp of? Or do you have some recipe or notes you'd like to share here in this thread?

It is pretty straight forward, you just add moisture to your feed to turn it into a thicker than oatmeal consistancy, stir daily, and let it ferment(usually by the 3rd day initially it is smelling right). Molding over is bad. I tried it for a while and yes the chicken like it but for me I just use dry crumble now plus scratch in the AM and PM. Reportedly it enhances protein content, but who knows what is decreased by the yeast and Lactobacillus? I just buy feed with my target protein content now that is designed for chicken and feed it to them dry. My first flock did adore getting fed the stuff, but then I developed a large flock and lost the time and energy to clean that crusty stuff up all the time.

On a somewhat related note I no longer do sourdough starters for the family either. Its all made with the 1 pound block of Fleishman's yeast now.

I created a craigslist add to get rid of my silkie flock. My wife said my life is in danger now, Teutonic ladies you just do not cross. Posted this only for personal safety reasons.

I'm not too concerned I have done much stupider stuff and am still here.
