Trying hard to get moving/keep moving today: spent way too much of yesterday lifting more than I should and my hips are killing me.
On the other hand, I haven't done a full-dose NSAID day since I stopped eating peanutbutter for breakfast and had my GI problems vanish, so here goes!

Good luck today, I have to go pick up limbs and dont even want to think about how bad my back is going to feel tonight.

I'm trying to figure out how to get to limbs which arw bigger than me and hung up just out of my reach but the answer keeps being "hire someone."

Is the place you get washers at Mud Bay and Kaiser?

Umm, off Steamboat Island and Sexton Drive; Mud Bay Appliance - owner Damon. Pretty good deals there.

That is the best answer.

Our new Serama chicks from Castle Delights!




One word of warning if you have the Brinsea Brooder and are hatching Serama's. I think they are too small to use this brooder as their only heat source from day 1. I went down there this evening and a couple of them were cheeping their "something is wrong" really loud cheap and they were cold! I had a back up heat lamp hanging over the brooder, but not low enough to keep them warm enough as I assumed the Brinsea Brooder would keep them warm enough. Most standard size chicks would be able to be close enough to the heat source in that to almost touch it. These guys couldn't acutally touch the heat source, were in fact 1-2" away from it. Since it's a radiant heat source, that wasn't good enough! After lowering the regular brooder lamp and warming them all up, they have been fine.

Huh! That's good information to have! I have 2 of the Brinsea Brooders but I guess I'll invest in a different brooder lamp in preparation of getting my Serama eggs in April.

Hey everyone!!!

I only have a couple minutes to say hi! Sorry I do not have time to catch up.....I am crazy far behind! Hope everyone is doing good!

It has been an insane & stressful week! But hey, I woke up and am breathing!

I found some wood pallets at work and am going to put together a makeshift lean-to for Blackie,Booger and Spot. I am done with getting home at night in the dark and having to redo the pen because the wind keeps blowing things up..

Hope everyone is getting cleaned up from that nasty storm! Have a great week!

Miss you all sooooooo much! I feel like I am so out of the loop!

Okay wanted to share a photo. DH had just finished a bowl of cereal and there was some milk with cereal goodies in the bottom. I gave it to Bumble to have a few mouthfuls. Here you can see that Pica (the dog) really would like her share - the dog did not get any, she gets enough treats...but I thought it was a funny photo.

Really cute photo!!! Pica is being so respectful - but you can tell she really, really wants some

Well good morning to all !
So far, it is still here, no wind, no rain...no T-storms.
Guess it may be coming though, if Illia has it !

So, after all the "testing" & posting intermittenly yesterday & as far as 8 PM....I think my issues are 99% connectivity/Internet traffic issues !

After repairing the driveway with a yard of rock, and moving the cable that runs from the signal booster to this cabin (Thanks SF for that tip! ) we had lightening fast speed.
As afternoon came on, it got slower.
By 7 PM it was really getting irritating...and by 8 PM I could not open/ or read/ or post or nothing!
System was completely at a halt !

So tomorrow I will harp on Comcast and call the computer geek.
***Sigh!**** At least we have it figured out.
IF it is not expensive, we will add RAM (IF this processor can handle it)
IF we cannot add RAM without mucho denero...we'll not add RAM, but waite until the house is built & then invest in a big fat powerful MAC !!!
We just have too many things to deal with that are more important than putting $$$$ into a computer right now.


Spring is coming & the house has to be built !

Going nuts in this storage unit !!!

P.S. If anyone sees a good FREE washer on Craigs List, please try & go see it & if it is a good one, grab it for me (for T-Hi)
Then I can transport it to her...
I cannot send e-mail to Cragslist sellers, do not know why but the e-mails will not go through.
I always have to have someone else contact the Craigslist seller & give the seller my #.....

When is the Super Bowl ????
I have lost track.........
