I have a very small window unit in one of the windows. I have a blanket covering the entrance to the hallway. It did fine last night, since it was fairly cool from the rain, but it quit raining this morning, so temps. are climbing.

What pictures do you have that you don't want anyone to see?

Don't care about the pictures but I don't need my financial data up in the clouds.

The top wire is cut to a specific length to accommodate the frequency you are trying to use.

Um, what about all the OTHER frequencies you might want to use?

then don't put them up there! You do have a choice

I see. It isn't an automatic backup of everything except what you exclude? Because that takes FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER to set and it still wants to back up too much.

I pads and smart phones backup files, pictures and etc. They do not backup browsing data where your financial information is if you purchase online with them.

Computers are a different beast and most of the auto backups will let you choose what folders are backed up.

Still I understand that many simply do not trust things in this age. It seems like a generational thing.

What I get at home is not wanting to use online backup for the phone which makes moving to a new phone hard and then the wailing after all of the pictures are gone.

Understanding the risk of not doing these things is important

Well, got the broody in the broody buster cage where she is happily throwing a broody fit at me, spilling her food, sloshing the water out of the container, basically throwing a hissy fit.

Life is hard.

Then was in the main coop tending to my real broody with 4 eggs under her, bent over and had another hen sitting on the roost bar by the nesting boxes jerk out one of my silver earrings and drop it in the litter. Spent the next 15 minutes with the metal detector and a sieve trying to find it. Finally gave up. This little hen is an expert at jerking out earrings slicker than snot. The only thing I feel is a tug and the earring is gone. She ate one earlier this spring. Expensive grit. I told her if it pierced her gizzard not to expect much sympathy from me.

I keep resisting the urge to swing the metal detector over her to see if it beeps.

In the mean time, the bantam roosters are digging nests and coaxing all the hens to hatch babies for them. Little rat turds. The hens in the mean time take them seriously and spend the day hanging out in the nesting boxes. I've been trying to keep the eggs picked up to dissuade them from going broody. Slipped my hand under one hen, found 4 eggs, went to the next hen, slipped my hand under her and encountered.....a head. Yelped, jerked my hand back. Asked the hen what the HECK was she sitting on, carefully lifted up her breast and there was one of my BBR bantam hens under her. I about had a heart attack on the spot. Stupid hens. Pulled the larger hen out of the box and left the little happily trying to lay an egg for me.
