Would this 1/2 & 1/2 work Baron ? Even haul your firewood .

OMG we had a trailer just like that, still trying to forget it.
Does the snowmobile actually move it?

[ross]

Yep I seen the video . Not sure where it's from . Sounded like French voices .

river peaked at my place last night. almost 14 meters!!!! it's flooded from our place all the way over to the next highway. thankfully we bought on the HIGH side of the river. it's breathtaking and frightening....london and delaware are getting back to normal again. thamesville this morning and chatham will see it this afternoon. we're hoping to drain enough to pull some dead ash up this weekend.
setting this weekend for the first hatch of the season! yay! i have some culls to move outside soon-they'll be bug control and just egg birds for a while, then once they grow up enough they'll likely hit the freezer. i have my first ever wry tail.....it's a tiny little runt of a welsummer that hatched a day late....and one that got pecked in the eye when little so she's totally blind in one side, and mostly blind in the other...and this rumpless light brown leghorn. while i love the idea of a leghorn that looks like an oversized quail i really really don't need that in my breeding program. then i think the guineas are going to be gone...they won't shush up, and are starting to pick on the turkeys. so they might just get thrown out the door and whatever happens happens. now that the ground is thawed at my place i need to get the garden fencing up, and i'm kicking around the idea of raised beds just to save my back some. but then that means no rototilling anymore....and i like the fact that I (the royal I-ready my awesomely wonderful amazing husband) can rototill the garden....ha ha. i also have to beat the raspberries into submission. quickly.
looking forward to having fuzzybutts again. this hopefully will be the year of getting my final "finished" silver and gold welbars and rhodebars!!!! fingers crossed. if i did everything right.....they should be "pure". and i have a bunch of people wanting mixed chicks this year, so just putting in EVERYTHING laid in the last 10 days and will make up some boxes of mixed chicks for them. hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! don't forget to vote for the picture of the month!!!!

Saw a lovely snowy owl on my way back from swimming this am, it was just gliding across the fields.
Interesting time with the neighbour. Thinks I may have called the ministry on him over his cattle in he paddock (it wasn't us). He basically has a feed lot and the slurry and water is flooding across to our property and through the turkey pen. It's next to the well for one neighbour and close for another. Just chatting to him and we asking me if I thought my compost heap and shavings pile was attracting the coyotes! It didn't used to flood until he put up a megadome and infilled so he could drive to it so now the paddock is higher than us. Wife remarked one time that because they are a farm they don't need permits or notification for the neighbours. This is the one who was a pains to point out that we aren't allowed birds on 5 acres.
Anyway the chickens are all out running around and much happier now.

Good morning.
Had a little adventure this morning, took a wrong turn and drove on to a US Navy Base by accident, easy enough they seem to be thick on the ground here.
Sooo, I said to the nice young man in the uniform standing beside the guard house: " Aaaaaah (read I) must have taken a wrong turn..... and he said...........
“ Ma’am, yeas ma’am, you jus turn around hea ma’am, and we will have you on yoah way ma’am”!

Have to love a polite man with a really big gun.I am starting to really appreciate that Southern hospitality, where every other sentence starts with Ma'am, as long as nobody is shootin :)

[ross]

Yep do as your told & yu shouldn't get shot at . Sounds pleasant OC .

[Killerbunny]

That's funny OC. It reminds of going to Philadelphia the week after 9/11 (conference DH had to attend). To my surprise the tourist places were open, very few people there but heavily guarded by "nice young men with big guns" I went to see the Liberty Bell and afterwards was taking pics of Independence Hall being very careful to stay behind the barricades. Not sure if the guard had heard the Brit accent but I was given a personal escort off limits so I could get better photos LOL.

OK, what did I miss, first time since I have arrived here I heard a mention of Canada....
and I quote,
"the Canadian Prime minister's visit to India has gone even worse then Trump's visit, and that is pretty hard to achieve"
what did he do? or do I really want to know?
