Settle down Beeker! Poultry netting or wire, pine flakes at TSC. Maybe Maynerds has them? Fleet will. FT there was something you said that made me think you were a little peaved at me think it was something like Right Doc? IDK IDC! Well I guess I did otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it. tiki hope that paint works out for you I bought some upper $20 something a gal. barn red from them and it didn't cover the good primer after 3 coats!

Will never buy paint there again! ! ! I was just joshin about a car being next to me when I beeped and waved at TO! But not about the beepin and wavin! But I did get to see a guy takin the pen test by a couple of super troopers! Kicked some serious buutocks today so far think I need some b'fast, lunch ana nap.

Here Fleet & Farm has wood shavings in tightly packed bags.. I D K about Farm & Fleet.. I like to line my nests with wood shavings.. but I don't always keep up with it..

Yesterday our egg production took a large jump.. It looks like it will be worth it to start feeding the mutt hens laying formula..

Annie caught a guinea in a nest yesterday, so maybe they will start laying soon..

I am going to make a swing around the property this afternoon to see if I can find a stray nest ..(guinea or goose)..

DrH, do whatever you do to FT, do not bust CC's chops..

I spread two buckets of chips around the back yard to stifle the mud.. the chickens are doing the final raking..

I worked on the Blazer a bit.. I cannot find anything wrong.. I did add a half can of Seafoam anyhow,, what can it hurt ? I topped off the antifreeze , too.. didn't need but a pint..
tested the alternator,, that was OK.. I sometimes wish something would just break, and then I would know what the problem was.. Oil and tranny oil are both up to the mark..

I think it is maybe a fuel filter, or fuel pump or dirty injectors.. anybody got a guess?

when it was running bad, it sounded like water in the gas..

OK FT damp outside on the damp ground, back hurts, didn't do much physically?

 

[unkadan]

check and see if either have "deer" fence, the heavy duty UV resistant 1"X1" kind,,,it lasts for years and would work well over the top. go with the local mills for the chips,,,and if you can get hardwood chips/shavings much easier to compost for the gardens

bbl on the run here

fuel filter acts that way Jim,,,,starts fine but then falters when running down the road,,,intermittent

Injectors will miss from the startup

yeah, filter is what I am hoping.. I had a 6 cyl ford pickup that it happened to .. I was 25 miles from home.. I fixed t with a philips screwdriver.. poked the guts out of the inline filter and ran it like that for four years thereafter..

first egg today!!! I'll junk this one but any others I find I will set aside for hatching.



Ducks were getting a good run in the pool today. It is a little tight though with 8 of them in there. Just came home from getting our fishing licenses for the year and found a painted turtle on the road! Rescued the little buggar of course. Took the oldest DD out driving today for the first time behind the wheel

. She did pretty well, and mom made it too. I did not need to have s good stiff drink when we came back home

.

Going to try and possibly get some fishing in tonight before I go out and do my walk/run. I hear the suckers are running......

Are you screwing with me again, Jimbo? Why do I even ask? What did I miss now?

Go back outside & work on your truck, funny man.

Afternoon Early Evening All!!
I've had a busy day today and I'm not quite done!
Got up early and went to the Beaver Dam Poultry Swap. I actually found what I was looking for-sort of! I was looking to add to my meat rabbit heard and found a breeder with Californians and she also had one Silver Fox buck. I took the Silver Fox and also got another Cali. doe. She is not quite as nice as Cali but she has good bone and a good look for a meat rabbit. She is not show quality but I don't mind. The Silver Fox was actually the meat breed I originally wanted to get but they are not common. I will take some pics for y'all! So far the Californian I've named Poppy (as in the California Poppy flower) and the Silver Fox has a ear tattoo of KB11 so I decided to name him Kirby.

I also got two little chicks-like I need any more

! I ended up having to hold back one Ameruacana pullet from the seminar group since she had really bad pasty butt. She is all cleaned up and is friends with the meaties. The meaties will eventually be table birds so I had to plan ahead so the little Ameruacana has friends her age. I got a Buff Orp and a Barred Rock. Straight run of cource so they will be roosters. Ah well...it's all good....

I got the cart we bought all put together almost all by myself! I was so proud of my self! Now cleaning the coop will be easier.

FT-Um I have to ask DH about the Wausau seminar/s. He has some that are back to back and due to distance, I'm not going. I will find out for you.

H&R-SG has just the one chickie. Nothing else has been happening. She is an excellent mom and the little chick is very much loved.

Ok, Dh wants me to help with the grill. Grilling up some steaks tonight! Yum!
I also want to check on the new bunnies.....
Chat soon!
