morning everyone
woke up very early this morning so as debby says, theres a nap in my future today
went to the auction yesterday i bought a few flowers and a pig and cow planters, husband bought ten buff orpington pullets, thank goodness a friend came and she had brought a couple of little goats in a big dog carrier, and we borrowed that to get them home, anyone ever rode with ten chickens in a crosstrek subrau for 45 minutes with them arguing worse than kids about "hes touching me"? not to mention the smell . i cleaned my subrau out while husband got a place ready in the barn for them, he wants to free range them
as soon as it gets daylight i'm going out to the garden and pick some turnip greens for dinner and also see what else i can find, i know the two cucumbers are really, saw them briefly yesterday when we took the chicks to the barn to unload
so everyone have a great day
rj glad that sues coming along and the way shes going she will be home soon

I drove chickens in a Van to Anderson once-- it was a 2 hour plus trip.

The things we do for chickens!

You girls must be up early.

Sharron, having driven our chickens the 3 hours between Auckland and Northland I can sympathise about the smell.

I'll be off to bed soon. Last night there was a power cut so hopefully that won't happen again. Our two, two week old chicks were amazingly good about their heatlamp being off. They are surprisingly hardy little things.

We moved the ducks into their new, huge house tonight. I wonder what their neighbours (the chickens) will think in the morning.

We have not had power issues here but have had internet issues. They need to fix the connection at the box in the street but will not do that unless they have monkeyed with the stuff at the house for several calls first. We have dealt with this issue several times over the years now.

Second service call is today after trying to get a supervisor to escalate the issue

That sort of hassle gets old fast! Hope they get you fixed up soon Ron.

Sadly I will likely have to escalate after the work today does not fix the issue. We are keeping notes on the outages but the cable company has a monitor now and should know how many outages we are getting

Good idea to keep your own records, even if they do monitor things.

The connection drops for anywhere from a minute to up to 6 hours. It make it hard to work for home-- UC Davis has not let Administrative Staff back on campus yet

How long have you been working outside of the campus now Ron? (All this stuff seems like it's been dragging on forever.)

My guess is Ron has been at home for about 3 months since Cal started shutting down mid March.

I wish the phone company would put monitors out but given all the "Consolidated internet is bad" posts on the Front Porch Forum I know it isn't just us. The did "fix" something away from the house a couple of weeks ago and we haven't had to reboot the modem as often since then. But even every day or two is horrid functionality.
