i think i was to write about chickens today---i need to demo the versatility needed on these crazy acres. it all starterd very simply with 26 day old chickens in a shoebox-- just to keep them warm they were put in the  sunroom. aka office  and so they would be more comfortable elizabeth brought in a water tub as their area to run around.... which they did... for the  past 10 days???? and they no longer would fit in a shoe box---one chick would hardly fit in the shoebox alone --- they are getting to be shoebox size themselves and have now commandeered the entire 1/2 that room. all because eliz has another disaster to tend to so teh chick project was handed over for  "care and comfort" with "i will get them outside SOON." ... WELL THAT SOON IS TO BE TODAY BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ONLY  GETTING NOISY BUT ODORIFEROUS.

 

THEY HAVE A PLAN---- I DO NOT THINK IT WILL WORK AND HAVE OFFERED  ANOTHER PLAN---THEIR PLAN IS TO MOVE THE WHITE GUINNEA HEN COOP OUT INTO THE ACTIVE AREA---MINE IS TO MOVE THE JOG CART CHICKEN COOP AND SURROUND IT WITH SNOW FENCE ALL ZIP TIED TO IT...... A TEMP SOLUTION.

 

 WHAT I TELL THEM IS THAT THE WHITE CHICKEN COOP..... LIKE THE HUGE CHAIR INT THE FLAT FIELD--- WAS NOT 

MADE TO BE LIFTED AND CARRIED ANYWHERE--- THE ANGLE OF THE NAILS HOLDING IT TOGETHER WAS NOT DESIGNED TO DEAL WITH "LIFT"  SO AS THEY "JUST MOVE IT"  ONTO THE GRASSY AREA CHANCES ARE IT WILL SELF  DESTRUCT AND NEED POUNDING TO GET IT BACK TOGETHER...  SO IT SHOUDL BE FUN TO WATCH..... AND IT IS RAINING....AND THE CHICKENS HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE...!!!

BUT WHAT DO I KNOW???? 

 

I SAID I WOULD JUST SIT AROUND AND WATCH—AT WHICH POINT JANINE MADE SOME REMARK ABOUT A COLD DAY IN HADES FOR ME TO JUST SIT AROUND AND NOT TO MAKE COMMENTS...

 

DEBBIE PRICE ( NO KNOWN RELATIVE) SENT AN EMAIL SAYING SHE SAW  ME WITH NICK DRIVING THE HAY LOAD IN SALSBURY--- NICK BEING A TOYOTA EXPERT ( EMPLOYEE)  WAS GETTING A  FEEL FOR HOW MY FORERUNNER PULLED THAT LOAD OF 83 BALES....I.E.  REALLY VERY WELL—OBJECT IS TO KEEP THE  “ROLL” GOING....

 

MY FATHER WITH A SUPER MIND--- UNENCOMBERED BY A FORMAL  EDUCATION--- POINTED OUT  THAT  IF THE PURPOSE OF THE GAS WAS TO PROPEL THE CAR FORWARD, THEN ANYTIME YOU APPLY THE BRAKES

YOU ARE WASTING GAS---AND I DO THINK THERE IS A PURE THOUGHT THERE---- KEEP A BIGGER DISTANCE  FROM THE CAR IN FRONT AND KEEP THE ROLL GOING... BECAUSE THE GAS CONSUMED TO GET THE CAR FROM ZERO TO ONE MPH  IS  EXPENSIVE—AND IF YOU WATCH TRUCK DRIVERS--- THE GOOD ONES KEEP THE ROLL GOING AS THEY WILL CRAWL.INCHING ALONG RATHER THAN STOP.

 

MY FATHER WAS THE ONE WITH THE WATER FILLED WINE GLASS ON THE DASHBOARD—AND IF I SPILLED IT WITH JERKY  TEENAGE DRIVING HE’D TAKE OVER THE DRIVING BIT.
