That's when you add the lovely steel plates to your kevlar, giving you an extra 40 lbs to carry around.

Hey there, Chickencanoe!

Annabellebond sounds so, well, driven. Possessed even. But more power to her! My cousin is like that with his running...he does the 100 milers and the 14,000-foot runs over several mountain ranges. Been that way all his life. As he said, "It's the only sport I was good at." I'd be snoozing on Saturday morning and he'd be doing 13 miles around Lake Merritt.

The nestbox and roost are on opposite ends of the coop. The area under the roost shelf will have a window in it so it doesn't look too dark and cozy and it also has the chicken door to the outside lodged under there. There are 8 windows in the coop and 6 of them open for ventilation (plus two dedicated vents). Yes, the intention is it is built to last. The chickens will be an integral part of the vegetable garden and food supply here in one form or another.

I had a friend who on occasion cultivated herbal smokables. He would tie red orbs to his crop to make it look like tomato plants! I guess it goes in all directions.....

My suggestion was so they don't track feces into the nests.

My wife met an amazing young woman today. She put her canoe in the Missouri river at the headwaters in Montana. She's paddled 1100 miles so far. Her destination is the Gulf of Mexico. She projected to average 37 miles a day and 40 a day on the Mississippi. My wife asked her why and she said, "I'm 24 and I don't have anything else to do. She's by herself and no ground crew. One of her best friend's parents live in St. Charles and put her up for the night, she got a hot shower and they took her to the restaurant for lunch. She camped in the rain the night before and it looks like she'll be paddling and camping in the rain for the next week. I hope she's aware that barge traffic on the Mississippi is about 5 times what it is on the Missouri. At least she's not paddling at night.
Barges are scary to confront at night on the big rivers. I did 340 miles on the Missouri paddling around the clock in 78 hours.

I see you lurking, buddy....

 

[ChickenCanoe]

I'm sure he'll have plenty to say when the gag order is lifted.

How do you see lurkers? And if a certain speedo jake is looking..... Hi!! Lol ( if that's who we are talking about)

They show up in the "Currently Viewing" box. But I'm sure I show up there when I'm not even in the house because I just happen to have the thread open on the computer.

Talk about clueless... Okra v. marijuana? All you have to do is look at the flower.

Sounds like some law enforcement need to go remedial with Drug Recognition 101A. What's next, raiding the bakery because the baking soda looks like cocaine? Or the candy shoppe because the rock crystal sugar candy on a stick looks like crack? I hope the okra grower was compensated if they uprooted his garden.
Sheesh.....

I am wondering about the outcome. He said that he was embarrassed and that he was concerned bout his good name.
