Well that does make me feel a little bit better. It's raining outside and instead of drinking out of the nice clean water they'll drink out of a poo-puddle.

No one dropped a feather let alone a turd in that nest box?!

I have roll out nest boxes and I have to clean poo out of it!

Pretty interesting, The Woman In The Iron Coffin. Body found by construction workers thought to be a recent homicide was a perfectly preserved woman buried 150yrs ago.

First off the bane of my existence poo in food or water. I have 5 gallon buckets with lids and horizontal nipples we are building bigger better feeder I stole from a member I reviewed their build including the feeder told her I was so impressed I wanted to copy the feeder tired of wasted or pooped in feed, picked up small philips head screws to put it all together

Never seen a melon that dark. Very cool. What does the inside look like?

Not real red, they're supposed to be. But it was very tasty, have a few more to try and plenty of seeds , didn't grow any other melons so they will be pure. Beings the plants were about dead I figured over ripe, was just hoping for mature seeds. About perfect flavor and crispness straight through, the kids even gnawed on the rinds lol.

It really doesn't. Mother nature just keeps balancing everything out. This year we had a surplus of wild rabbits. That means there will be a lot of Coyotes this winter feeding on them as well as the birds of prey.

When the rabbit population thins out, so will the Coyote population. They will move to other areas following the food chain. But a lot will still hang around. We have lots of timber here and lots of livestock around us. Not so much the larger animals are at risk but I've been told lots of stories about coyotes around us dragging newborn lambs and kids across pastures with the mother going nuts while her baby is being killed.

Doesn't make you love Coyotes.

Thinking about Elvis, he died at 42, my age.... I think I'm still young sometimes. Not that 42 is old, but it isn't 20's either.. don't know where time went.
Met a new truck driver at work that knows most the one's I dealt with through the yrs. He mentioned he was 38, I thought he looked a good ten yrs older than I do, it was shocking. Mentioned it to DW, she says 'how old do you think YOU look?'
She sent me this a bit ago, funny vid, Lol , but didn't make me feel any better lol.
It is a 'PG' vid lol.
