Well I won't be at either one and am hoping to talk REAL NICE to CL or BROODY and see if one of them would be so kind as to bring DW's back from the show. I wish we could go to the show as then I could deliver a bunch of bells and save people a drive.

Well IF (I doubt it) I am able to get them done I will for sure let ya know but I don't think yer DH can out heckle me. That might be part of the reason they evicted me from the hospital!!! No sense of humor I guesss.

And FYI I don't even think about stalking. Now if I was to see somebody hiding around the corner and peeeeking at me then we would have a problem. I mean heck I wasn't afraid of CL asking me to meet along side the freeway!!

Would love to meet you and DH.

Good to hear it! Sounds like you 2 have similar senses of humor. Your not NORWEGIAN by any chance? Heaven help us if you are!

If you need me to deliver bells, I can, I'd love to help out. I can also bring you your DW shirt cause that would give me an excuse to see your RIR's, Oh yeah and to meet you 2!

Please don't hesitate to ask!

sorry, 3X Long, the 2X usually clings too much to my hips for me to feel comfortable wearing them in public.

Well I am going to turn in early. So I guess my pay for being the night crew will have to get dock tonight.

Couldn't sleep, so I got up and had a glass of almond milk and a cookie. I didn't have one set of little eyes looking at me as if to say... "You got any more cookies, Mom?" Ahhh... life's simple pleasures. Cookies are hard to keep around at our house. Normally you have to fight to get one so I was surprised to find the one I did.

Thought I'd put up some pictures of the hatcher I made since I still can't sleep!

(sorry but I don't know how to rotate the pics so don't hurt your neck)

I made the thing out of 2 old drawers that were going to be thrown out after a remodel at my DH's work. Left the handles on the ends so I could pick it up easier.
I turned the drawers to face each other, put a strip of foam insulation all the way around between them, and attached them with some hinges. Drilled in some vent holes and put 2 latches on the front to remind the kids (and myself) not to open during lockdown!!!
I cut in a window the size of a picture frame I had laying around, it fit in tightly between the lip of the drawer bottom.
I used plexi to make the inside pane so that I could drill holes in it to mount the still air fan.

It has 2-25watt bulbs that are regulated by a modified hot water heater thermostat.(idea from BYCer jus1jack!) Thanks Jack, it's working perfectly!!! It's spot on 99.6!
I was afraid of a baby sticking it's beak into the wiring so I put a hard wire cage over the wires that I couldn't manage to get on the outside of the box.

I didn't want to have to babysit the RH constantly so I rigged up a slow drip system using some 1/4in. tubing and a quick connect valve. The reservoir is an old nut container from Costco. The reservoir sits on top of the view window which keeps the water at about 80* so when it drips in, it doesn't lower the internal temp. The tube off the back of the reservoir runs to a T-joint that has 2 tubes running through holes in back which drip into 2 bowls with sponges in them. So far it's staying at an RH of 64%.

Like they say... One man's trash is another chickenoholic's treasure!
Thanks to all the people who submitted ideas to the 2010 home-made incubator contest! You were my inspiration.
Ok... I think I really need some sleep now. I'm hearing the song "Did you ever know that you're my hero"... I must go to bed!
