STORY OF THE NEW ROOSTER:
FROM JANINE
Driving to my mother's farm with a rooster in a bag. I made sure the video is off so people think I lead a normal life and I am in my home office.
I had to interrupt my workday to move an ornery rooster who had found sport in chasing people. It should of been a quick transport but the cage wouldn’t fit in the car, so I put him in a bag. He seems happy snuggled up in the bag.
I will put him over the fence at my mother's - she won’t even notice 😄
---well i noticed --------!!!!   just as i was shooing  3 hens to the coop door  he appeared and had alot of comments about my chasing his new girlfriends.  that left me  cornered--  now i know  very well.... if i turn my back and try and get away, he will come after me.. when i was younger

When I was younger a rooster bite was no big deal but now aging skin tears very easily and I have no business corralling Roosters without my knee high leather chaps on .. because of the wound on my lower leg could take months to heal ..   and he was between me and my car .. it was touch and go there because there was a snow shovel about 6 feet away and I had to make the calculation would I get my hand on that shovel and throw it at him before he pinched my leg .. I decided he was probably faster leaving me with a large orange traffic cone as my only defense ..  all this was on camera if anybody happened to see it be dancing around the traffic cone trying to get to my car before the rooster bites me .. life at crazy acres is very exciting .. I finally got my hand on that traffic cone and threw it at him to deflect him as i  made it to the car ..
so janine's comment about him chasing people it's not a simple chase deal --this guys mean----- he's gonna have to go somewhere else or we won't have any volunteers left and I would not  have any skin on my lower legs ---well I'm going to wear chaps today so if you see me with funny black leather things on my lower legs it's because of the roaster----   I have them for that certain phase in puppy's life when they they scratch legs too . 
 
There was a time when chaps very stylish .. I never got to that stage---- with me is protection .. with Cowboys it's oh the suede leather makes it easier to hold on to a suede saddle they don't fall off quite as fast
 
I'm told we had a nasty rooster fight when he first arrived .. but he seemed to corral three or four hens chase them around and stop fighting .. I didn't think you could have two Roosters in the same area---- we seem to have several but managed to survive  ---   but this guy is bigger and much more sure of himself ..  maybe it's a dominant thing but I'm always very cautious around an animal  that tries to dominate me or anybody else . including human animals....
 
dominating AKA fighting  ...   bullying in the animal Kingdom does usually mean a social order has been established and there's peace --mostly that means one male have a bunch of women ..  aside from SOME  CONFLICT Aboutthe  faulkin islands and margare t thatcher  ----? are  most wars started  by  males...?   Somewhere I read the story on that war between Britain and Argentina over the Falklands and it involved old leftover   used American and German aircraft and a submarine or two and the biggest problem was theThe Falklands we're at the outer edge of the range of the planes so they could fly over there drop one bomb and had to go back to refill was apparently one of the problems ..

which brings us into today's problems I'm delighted to hear but somebody has figured out how to fly vaccines at minus 100 degrees between Belgium and Britain ...before teh refrigerant   evaporates    that's a start anyway because last I heard the dry ice sublimates into carbon dioxide which what's going to be a problem for the pilots . and I Got into that problem as I wandered around the European Great Dane breeders and wondered if I couldn't get some puppies from there but flying puppies in a plane it's full of carbon dioxide and vaccines it got to be very confusing not sure it can be done ------Lufthansa will hopefully be concentrating on distributing vaccines and not puppies .. so that project got on hold ..
 
so back to the business of used war equipment....... something I had not considered before.. if in fact smaller countries do buy our used war planes ... then there has to be a used war plane salesman... there has to be...  I've always wondered why we send a great flotilla of ships and planes wandering all over the world when in fact it could be just The equivalent over used car lot basically a  display of what  We could sell you .. or sell to your adversary ..  All of this means that the used warplane salesman is just one step up from the used car salesman .. we don't have a name for those and just lump them all in with  Department of State .
 
with  my mind fleeting from roosters to war planes...  somewhere In the middle is the chimney fixer salesman of which I have now met five or six and one more is due here today in that group of chimney  fixer salesman   the price variation is somewhere between $3200 and $10,000 ..  and just from the words used in my discussion the poor guy who was trying to sell me the 10,000 job was very nice and he had been preloaded with buzzwords to try and scare me into the $10,000 job .
including ...   now it could be I am wrong but with a 6 foot cube of fieldstone into which he was to put a stainless steel pipe .. I saw no reason for the charge of removing the the 12 inch   ceramic pipe into which he was to fit the 8”  stainless steel one    --
 
The company he worked for was the only one who said they had to remove that ceramic pipe and how difficult that was going to be in what a mess it would make that's why it was $10,000 .. so I have one more guy do here today I have hopes for them because the the receptionist I talked to on the phone for the great day toner and knows about us .
 
. I'm not going to correct that  great day toner    some of these dictation things are pretty funny it's supposed to be great  Dane owner ---  CP’s have changed from guessing my spelling mistakes the guessing my dictation errors .

preloaded buzzwords are my favorite  part of tv watching . how many can you get in 30 secoinds
 
6:55 CAR LIGHTS ARE COMING UP HRT DFRIVEWAY...
 
TODAYS FYI    MAKING SURE YOUR DOG HAD A CURRENT RABIES SHOT IS CRITICAL    -- BECAUSE IF PERCHANCE THEY EVEN SCRATCH A KID AND YOU CAN NOT PROVE  PROPER COVERAGE ( SIGNED BY A VET)   IT BECOMES A QUESTIONOF  SERIOUS QUARENTINE AND POSSIBLY  SENDING THE HEAD TO CORNELL FOR TESTING..
BECAUSE BY THE TIME  ANY SYMPTOMS OF RABIES SHOWS UP IN A PERSON . IT IS FATAL..   SO WAITING AND WONDERING IS NOT IN THE CARDS...
All of a sunnen I was aware  sizzle was not protected......so   I  WAS LATE FOR M AIL CALL BECAUSE I HAD TO GO TET SIZZLE VACCINATED AT 4:40   SHE WAS DUE FOR A SHOT    before  11/26 2020
 
 LET ME CLEAR THAT ONE UP...  the word ----before -----is critical.....    SHE AS  NOT LEGALLY COVERED AS OF 11/27 20   ---  SHE COULD have had her vaccination any time in the 3 months before that date  but somehow we were recording only the end date... that is far too dangeorous-miss it by a day can be terrible.. she shouoe have v=been included in the several batches of rabies shootings in the past few months....
 
So that is another job for me today... paper checking...  rabies dates  compared to the overnight list of dogs...   how exciting can that be?
Think... effect of typo’s????
