Good Mornin, I feel as a bigmouth newbie I shall post now, I have also determined that I have earned it...just read 67 posts...will have to figure out how to keep up (as I have been). those 67 were since saturday nite i think. So glad noone exploded w/that heater thing-love those lil icons for affect. I picked detroit to win that game, although i think they're buncha thugs like virginia tech sports and i 'like' the packers. I try to feed the chickens in different spots, so they'll scratch up the pine forest. Finally figured out why they won't go in the field down near the road for love or scratch (I had a notion). Tookem to the edge again and two HUGE hawks flew in, I think i even said, in chickenese, "dang, lookout!" Then I gathered myself. sorry i made a big deal about the butchering i'd done, was kinda morbid the way i talked it up. All that really happened was, the razor was ineffective due to feathers and inexperience, I calmed them back down and turned them until they got tiredd of trying to see what i was doing and off with the backup machete. If anyone besides me didnt know, you have to cut RIGHT under the jaw, which Snooze went calmly. I cover as a recruiter currently, in uniform and a gov tagged vehicle approximately (squarish diagram) from pepin to humbird to ladysmith to dallas, and a little outside that, as in, if my obligations carry me near any of you ; ) to deliver or give to someone to get it to you, the book I have is called, Fresh ways with beef and lamb, it's a time life book. Maybe a loan as where some play the 'what if i won the lottery' game, I play the 'what if i was a sustinance farmer' game, which often follows the other game close behind. Like, i could put fence here, cut these pines, let hardwoods grow, get small hogs like american guinea X potbelly, yadayada (it's only 2 acres)lol. Just sayin', might EVENTUALLY want to borrow the book back if you still had it and probably not. Wouldn't be a biggie either way. Also, just did a chocolate fountain for my daughter's ninth b'day, I'm sure the wife knows what to do cause it went (and tasted) well, (good). Probably even sell it to you cheap unless she has some big plan to store it forever, used once. I'll get details in case you ask or are interested. Can even coordinate to just grab at my office in EC....just offering and woulld prefer to look at chickens....maybe next time if i'm too new....stilll ask me about the stuff, no problem, Gotta get pics of my flock on here, they're all pure bred, high dollar BYCs, which is just about the only acronym i now on here.....(insert confused icon thingy here andd have a great day)
