Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Do out of the 18 eggs she’s on, all 18 are fertile and have good growth! Unfortunately two have small cracks so they may die I’ll try taping them and see how they do.

18 Watch for air bubbles Dan. If the inner membrane is ruptured you'll see air bubbles . If you sees bubbles it's all over most of the time . And limit the tape to as small a piece as you need to cover the crack .

Good morning, Pond Life. There's neighbors, and then there's neighbors. I have good neighbors. Yesterday neighbors to the East had a day long party - they had more people visiting than I even know. Laughing, swimming, playing games, and all left by 11 PM. That's good neighbors. Folks to the West haven't had their 'summer party' yet - they know a lot of people too, but noise stops by 11 PM. Heading to Chincoteague, Va for a few days so I will be absent from the Pond. Feel free to use my lily pad, but please keep it dry. Thanks.

I like a lot of different genres of music.



Rap isn’t one of them.

I think my biggest issue with rap isn't the music style itself, it's the profanity, the violence, and the misogyny that gets a "pass" because it's "art expression". Every now and then, there will be a rap song with witty, powerful, or poignant lyrics; and even if I don't love the style, I can get behind what they're saying.

Safe travels, Sir Sour - you'll be missed!

Precious!
Those ducks stay in all the time now?

Too tired to get up early and head out this morning, so we’re going around noon and fish till dark.




That’s awesome.
Never dreamed I’d want anything to do with anything close to farming.

No I just bring them in here and there.... trying to keep them tame.....

Yesterday morning E and Twin B were out doing chicken chores. I crutched out to help a bit (I can do the big poop board in the barn propped up by a little step ladder), and then I sat for a while and watched E and C work. They were scrubbing out and refilling waterers. And I began to think to myself, 'This is actually really good for them! They're working together, they're out of the house, and the son is not hating it!' This may end up being a good thing after all.

I completely agree, it's the exact same for me. Sometimes I'll hear a song start and like the beat, etc, and then the lyrics come in and it's rap and it's just entirely ruined for me.

Sometimes good CAN come from bad. For sure they will be aware of just how much work you do.

I don't care what they listen to but . Dam if I'm gonna put up with that.
So find some body with a jackass and tape it braying . And oh long about three in the morning with the biggest speakers you can find let it rip . You won't make any friends but and even though revenge is mine sayth the lord who helps those who help themselves I think you'll get away with it Best way round here to handle an unruly neighbor is a couple hundred hogs Just as close to their house as you can get them .The best part is it's agriculture and they can't do anything about it but move . I ain't mean at all
And then there's the police not as much fun, but then it can't always be fun .

I used to hate RAP music. I don't mind it anymore. I don't listen to it but after raising too boys I learned to tolerate it.
I find it funny that my brother is 51 and still listens to heavy metal turned all the way up.
But my brother thinks he's just still being cool.... kinda like he refuses to wear a seat belt even though it's the law.... he refuses to let his wife wear one too. Artually removed them from his last car.
When I said something about his extremely loud music..... he looked at me funny coz I said I listen to political talk radio. When I do listen to radio I listen to the 60's station
