I have news as well...though I am not prego.
The factory was torn down long ago.LOL

I have 2nd gen OEs hatching a day early.
And true as they always do, they pip & within that hour they are out & running around.
I am hoping for more barred babies (with the beard) this time.
The first gen has all been Am look-a-likes, blue & black.
The 2nd gen I want some more colors, and so far have a buff/blue splash, a white/dark blue splash, blues and now this batch's first hatch looks like it will be a barred bird...YIPPEE!!!!!!!
Cannot waite to see the eggs these 2nd gen OEs will lay !!!!!!!!!

Well, got to go take care of chores but wanted to post for computer buffs here, my system has 512 MB of RAM -Intel (R) Pentium (R) 4 CPU, 28000 GHZ-
whatever that means....so is it enough ?
Do I need more ?

Did a disc check this morning, degragged last night....seems to be a little less constipated this morning, a little faster.
GREG ?
I do not know what "normal" RAM is, so cannot tell if I have too little or not.
Maybe others can say what they have ?
Just askin'
Later peeps !

Yes - RAM would help your situation a lot. Depending on what you're doing - you want at least 2 GB RAM (512 is basically 1/2 GB); and if you had 4 GB you'd be going much faster.

Well, it WAS on a website as the special was a 2 day only coupon deal from Amazon local. The special was $65 for any 6 bottles of Vino Aquino wine with personalized labels, which was up to a 50% savings off regular prices. We offer 15 different varieties of our own wine made in shop, with a couple being brought over from Eastern Washington (a vineyard and winery in Prosser) in 60 gallon barrels and bottled in our shop so we can keep a good inventory of aged reds. Those are currently a 2010 Columbia Valley Merlot and 2010 Columbia Valley Syrah. There was no extra charge for the personalized labels. Normally, you would be paying the price of the wine depending which you choose, which range from $11.95 - $21.95 (for our ice wine) and then the labels would be an additional $3 each.

The Amazon deal ended at midnight last night. However - a perk of knowing one of the family member/shareholders is that I am occasionally able to slide by with offering someone a coupon special without the coupon after I get my cousin/manager's permission. (Shhh, this is top secret!) When you're ready, let me know and I'll see if I can let you have a one time coupon special...
ETA: We do have a website, it's not always kept up to date, but it does have some info. www.vinoaquino.com

This is Jaska, she is a Finnish Spitz. Here she is just a couple of months old.

This is her now, in all her glorius bratty-ness!


She is the boss of our existence.

Oh my Gosh!! What a cutie!! As a vet tech I only had a few occasions to meet this breed, but they sure are cute!! Love the fox like look!!

Oh great. I've been putting off adding an OE to my flock because I did not need another black hen (and so many of them were). And now this temptation! Where will it stop? I really want one of your pretty olive eggers!

LOVE !!!! CAST IRON!!!

Been using it my whole life!! My parents have always used it and so have I !!! I have an old Wagner dutch oven, and a few lodge pans that my husband had. My dad took, a few of mine when he left for MI!!!

That's ok, I'll get them back some day!! So, if you have a pan, it is suposed to be seasoned, it seems to have pock holes in it?? So, it sticks, do you just sand it down to a smooth surface and start over??

That is so nice of you to say! Of course I've always thought she was pretty, but might be a little biased... When you had mentioned that day that she reminded you of an angel from a Renaissance painting, this was the photo I had wanted to show you! We've always referred to it as her, "Mona Lisa Lily" photo but now that you mention it, it probably is more reminiscent of a Botticelli. I had just shot it with my camera phone one day while we were shopping at a mall in downtown Portland, but it's still one of my favorites...
