You get some of the coolest visitors where you're at!
Like the meatie tractor that Einstein made too.

Thanks !
Just wehn I was about no longer mad at Einstein for the teasing of CR & him banging his pumpkin so bad, was really mad ! Then I figured I'd forgive him for that IF he fessed up to CR that HE wanted me to tell him that crap..which he says he did (they text alot) then he can in wanting the .22 to shoot the pheasant.which I was ready to spank him good all over again.

Einstein had a Critter in his shop this morning,,,it was big, he said.
Maybe a possum or big rat !
he came in wanting the .22 again...and said it was crawling around up on shelves & knocking stuff over but he could not see it in all the stored stuff...........
So later I heard a BANG and went to see & he had blown a chunk of a chipmunks's back off.........(a small piece of fur)........."Just a cute rat" he says.............he hates the little boogers !!
They steal stuff off his workbench & get up high on far shelving & bark at him...so Einstein spent the day LOOKING for the dead chipmunk...it jumped down & ran off.
Einstein had to remove ALL the 20-30 storage tubs & boxes to see if there was a dead chipmunk........he never found it.
So bully for the chipmunk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the little devil is fine....just has a hitch in his giddy up.
But see what I mean by Einstein ?

I should spank him hard before he gets out of bed in the morning just to get it over with !

I grew up in Twisp so I am very familiar with Winthrop. Why would you have lived there? I know you said you write...would you have just done from there? Didn't you say you liked city? Why in the heck Winthrop....sorry, maybe it is because I grew up there. Nothing there but tourist.

course not much in Omak either....LOL.

I'm crap at math but if you try to keep all of your dimensions equal to, or multiples of standard wood sizes you'll be a MUCH happier camper. Also, depending on your design, if you can build it in sections and then assemble those sections into one you'll be an even happier camper.

We were so close to being semi-neighbors. Winthrop was on our list of locations but we ended up in Brinnon instead.

Excellent point !
Try to think in the terms of 4x8 foot plywood.
Cutting off a foor & tossing it away is a waste.
so, if 4x8, you can go 8x16 instead of 10 x 20.
For example.

Can you see the chick?

Isn't is awesome how the chicks will "swim" through Momma's feathers ?

Later you'll see them riding on her back.............

So today my nephew picked out two more chicks to add to our brooder. I got them at our local co-op. One of them, was labeled Ameraucana. I am including pictures to see if anyone knows exactly what they think she might be?
THANKS!!!

This baby has what is called "duck wing" genetics.....and more than likely is an EE, but should be very pretty.
Duck wing varieties have a barred band on their wings, like a Mallard duck has.
Some of the breeds that are duck wing include Penedensca and Wellsummers.
But no true pure blooded Ameraucana has duck wing chicks.
What was bred into the Am line caused the duck wing...so what you will get is a minty green egg.

Gorgeous pics! I wish our self-sowed tomatillos produced well, but they always start too late. I'm looking at the violet-colored flower in there. What is that?

Crap...can't remember...............

I can try it and see how it goes. thanks

Could you try silk or somin like that Zygoat

So I wonder if I can use something other than milk, I want to eat it too.

I am lactose intolerant, but the small amount does not bother me.
If you are allergic to cow's milk (

) try goat milk ? It is easier to digest....if you cannot do goat milk, try water in it's place, it is mostly for moisture.
It cannot fail...this is a jumble of good stuff here !

That is so interesting !
And I was washing & waxing cars & floors & mowing lawns, and all I had to do was take my boots off ???????????? Now ya tell me !!

OH my gosh, my first one was 3 weeks early and than my second one was 3 months and 2 days early. So I wonder if I had someone put my boots on if they would have stayed longer.
