The Old Folks Home

Happy belated BDay @Beer can! Bummer on the cake/stove. Can you get a replacement igniter and fix it soon? My stove is so old it doesn't have igniters, comes in handy during power outages.

My last component for the incubator arrived in the mail today! I have a thread going in the hatching and incubation section if you want to watch the process. Hope it works!

Good luck Cap!

Morning everyone.

Mother nature is going to play an April Fool joke on us tomorrow. 3-5 inches of snow on Easter Sunday. Don't know whether to laugh or cry, especially since we have had two whole days of sunshine and normal spring temps for a change.

My pussy willows are starting to bud out. Undoubtedly it will be a heavy wet snow so there goes my nets again.

I've seen spring weather like this before. No snow through the typical snow months then BAM! Spring comes and it's 'let's see how much snow we can dump on the daffodils before they scream for mercy!'

Well, that's my rant for the day, we now return to our regularly scheduled program.

We got a couple feet of heavy wet snow end of April one yr, spinach was up and peas were about 2'. Knocked them right down. Melted off within a few days though and they popped back up.

It's only around five yrs old. Googled just the name and model # of the stove and it popped right up on the side, a couple different replacement oven igniters, must be a common google search for that model. $15-$35.

Happy birthday, birthday folks. It's just another day to me as well. Sorry I didn't live closer Diva... I'd help out with the tree at least. Couldn't promise to mow your yard 2-3 times a month, but willing to help.

Happy belated birthday misty. Mine was Thur, but had yesterday off so was supposed to have cake and ice cream (I could care less, but the kids wanted to). DW and the kids made the cake, put it in the oven, and no worky... Electric igniter element went bad, and you cant start it with a match cause no propane will come out if the element isn't on...
Soo, off to town to pick up a cake, might as well get a couple pizzas too.
Took the cake batter this morn and made the kids chocolate cake waffles for breakfast, cake batter makes great waffles.

Happy belated birthday

Trick until you get the new igniter: swap the one for the main oven with the igniter for the broiler. When the new one gets there, use it for the broiler. I did that and was able to bake until the new part came.

I'm down to 13 eggs in out of three dozen, I didn't think the odds that they were fertile was good. Almost all from the NN rooster that the hens were beating up are good, only one from JG who got along with his new girls but got frostbit feet, and only one of the first eggs I grabbed labeled IDK cause I forgot I was going to keep them separate. I didn't set them till the 12th, so will be a couple more days.

Ours only has the one, broiler is underneath the flames oven above, like the old gas stoves.
