The Old Folks Home

Welcome to the thread @the meadows. Glad you could pull up a rocking chair and join us golden oldies.

Today is our call before the storm. It's almost 80 degrees out. light winds. It feels like spring and as a result I'm not getting anything accomplished as I have spring fever in Oct. It's supposed to be raining by morning and through tomorrow night with the high only in the 50s and the lows in the 40s so I'm trying to revel in the nice weather while we have it.

My thumb is surprisingly not painful at all considering how many times I've whacked it with the hammer over the past three days. My husband keeps urging me to hook up the air hammers to the compressor and use them but I can just imagine the mayhem I would cause shooting nails everywhere.

I set last night watching horror movies on SyFy and had nightmares all night. Geesh, I'm loosing my touch. Used to be able to soak up horror movies without blinking.

The plan for the day is to do as little as possible although I am on my way out to water and fill the feeders. Then I'm turning my attention back to reading Cap's coop build thread.

Beer Can that rooster is a beast. Am I seeing right or is his left foot bandaged up? Looks like a Bumble Foot wrap.

@penny1960, does spinal stenosis cause the numbness? I have problems with tingling in my feet and hands. Bad neck, yes, bad back yes. I know I have a scoliosis in my lower spine which causes a lot of my problems but I've wondered if the scoliosis is contributing to stenosis or degenerative vertebrae/disc disease.

I am wondering myself. They told me to cut back on concentrated sugars, so that's prediabetes. I have been having tingling in hands and feet so i figure its probably stenosis because it seems too early for diabetes to cause it. Another doctor visit needed. Goimg for a CT of my sinuses this week.
Just added plans to my coop thread. Considering adding a sketch of the coop divider too.
 
Been busy today... BF is "recovering" from having some friends over and in between cleaning bedrooms/doing sheety laundry, I finished the center of this mini quilt

I love that quilt, SGC. The colors jut jump out at you.

My doc is just the opposite, penny1960. He's a DO trained in joint manipulation. He keeps telling me. You come back and I'll help you....which he does, until the next time and the time after that and the time after that...sigh.

I was able to get a few pics while I was out feeding and watering. This is Godzilla (DH named him because he is twice the size of my OEGB crosses) . I call him Z. He's a Crele whatever. S'posed to be an oegb. Admittedly he popped out of a bantam sized egg but what happened after that is anybody's guess:

I love his coloring and personally, I would have named him Hoss.

This is Handsome showing how well he can crow:

And finally, this is Twonky. He is trying to convince the pullets that the hole he dug in the chips under the nesting boxes is the perfect place to lay an egg. Meanwhile, three were vying for possession of a real nest box so they weren't too impressed by his nest building prowess:
