Thanks everybody. In better times she would have got flowers at work the last working day before. and then taken out to a nice dinner somewhere. Heck in better times and when she was working she got flowers at least once a month just because. I heard rumor that you ladies like that stuff.

Thought you probably weren't old enough; that was a long time ago. Uncle Fred would have turned 93 this year, a year younger than my dad. Welding apparently skips a generation as my cousin's son (other side of the family, though) is one of the owners at Zeigler's. I think all of it is magic, myself.

Got to get going. So much to do. So little energy. I was thinking last night how nice it would be to be able to turn the tangle of rebar in the yard into the frame for a one-chicken quarantine tractor, instead of a giant calthrop..

I've decided to get a coop more or less like this. By ready made standards, it's a lot of coop for the money, and he's very accommodating about changes. For instance, he's going to make mine 6 inches taller so I can stand up in it, I'd rather put a chicken wire apron around the outside than hardware cloth on the bottom. Since I plan to shut the chickens in the coop at night, and my only real daytime predators are eagles, I will probably get chicken wire instead of hardware cloth for the run. Both those will save money. I'm thinking about getting two so I can keep the Brabanters and Spitz separate, and he'll give me a deal on two. He's going to put on corrugated roofing. I'll stain it something dark if it ever stops raining long enough. Scott wants them to more or less disappear. I'll put them under the conifers behind the garage.

I need to go lie down. I'm dizzy. darn Meniere's.

So, you're a pro welder, then (I thought so probably)? Did you work on the Steam Plant, ever? My Uncle Fred did some of the work on the original boiler system.

CR I need to ask you is welding a good field to get into now? My 20 yr old son wants to start class's at Green River CC and take welding.
