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

All is well then. At least gravity shouldn't get the better of you at the moment, since it's not icy

I look upon that fall is opportunity missed. I might have landed on both of them.

'Rummy' indeed.

So, the plans were that today the Princess and I would go to the Jersey Shore. In NJ you don't go to the beach or to the ocean - you go to the 'shore'.

Up early, I fed and walked the dogs and then went to take care of the beagles. Yesterday in addressing the 'flea situation' I sprayed all of the dogs and their sleeping boxes. I also scattered Sevin around the kennels and kennel area. As I walked through the kennel area I happened to look down to my feet. My legs, up to my knees, were black with fleas. I've never seen anything like it. Canceled shore plans and went to TSC where I bought a big jug of flea spray. Came home and attacked the infestation. Stuff worked - at least for now. Checked the dogs, and they are clean. I guess the sevin chased them out from wherever they have been hiding. I am on the attack, and shall win this battle.

For sure I will be bathing daughter's dogs before I take them home. Lord forbid that I should infest her little darlings.

Ugh...sorry you've got those pesky fleas to deal with. Good luck!!

Is that you holding the beautiful girl?

Lol, yep, that's me!

Now that we've made the decision to downsize our poultry operation, my GQF 1402 is up for sale. Has anyone tried the new Brinsea Ovation line yet? I'm not going to QUIT hatching, just don't need to do 300 at a time anymore.

I haven't been in the thread that was started for them so I haven't seen too much, but in one of the hatching threads I follow someone posted that their brand new Ovation had the fan die almost immediately. When they called up they were told that the fans were causing issues and that they could send theirs back for a new one. They did, the new one came in, the fan worked well - and then a newly hatched chick got caught by it and injured. Apparently there may be no cage over the fan to protect the chicks from it.

Oh yea! I saw that one!! Forgot it was an Ovation. Strange that they would make the new one without covering the fan, since the Octagons have such a nice cover over the whole area.

Well, hi there! Nice to see you...well, part of you.

Maybe they were supposed to put the cover from the first one over the replacement and the person with it didn't realize that?
