Nope. My tire/repair place is run by BF's uncle and they're closed on weekends. I am going to take BFs truck to work tomorrow and then Sunday drop the car with a nasty note in the drop box and hitch a ride to work with BF.

On the plus side, even though my eyes are going to fall out of my head, I finished the top today.

@superchemicalgirl, that quilt top turned out gorgeous! In all seriousness, there are Harley riders out there that would pay big dollars for one of those quilts or even a sofa throw. You need some good Karma, girl!

That's what I first thought when I read your post, @ronott1. Sure hope they it under control. Nothing fun at all about a UTI especially right after surgery.

Harley would sue my butt if I sold them.

I'm probably about 40 hours in this project so far.

The egg shell color has to do with up to 11 genes for the coat color. I can't think of a way that altitude would change that. As long as the genes are correct and the food provides the pigment, The eggs will be just as dark

Maybe the feed here is deficient in something? Or the locals have had less-than-dark-laying stock? I know when the feed stores stock Marans it's of the Cuckoo variety, so perhaps they have gotten washed out shell color. Clients have definitely wanted to see eggshells before committing.
I do know when I have attempted to hatch Marans eggs from afar they don't do as well as non-Marans eggs from the same altitude. Could be that the browning dye bloom substance lessens the pores and air exchange isn't as good, but more than likely lower altitude eggs just have different porosity. Really sad when only one Marans hatches and you have to cull it because it is oxygen-deprived handicapped.

Peep your birds are beautiful.

Thank you, chickadoodles! And they have great personalities, too. Love my roo! If I open the coop and he's inside, he just goes to the far corner and sits down. Wonky but wonderful. The hens are all over me and Stew keeps a respectful distance. DH has even commented on how friendly this flock is compared to the last batch.... I suspect because I didn't let DH do his Godzilla impression on these chicks.
