roostering went much better than expected. at 5 am i snuck in stealthyly, all 16 chickens were asleep on their roosts. they did not move those that awoke just stared no wonder its so easy for the varmits to come in and get them. it was so easy. i slowly with my fireplace gloves on reached and grabbed the first one then placed it into the carrying cage. i went back after the second one. had to move several of the hens out of the way but easily grabbed him and placed him in the cage. they now have a new home with some one that probably doesnt know about having more than one rooster.
red the head rooster was happy all day he had all 13 hens to himself the hens were happy since they did not have to watch out for 3 roosters anymore.
finished my second section of the barn hopefully the roof wont leak now next section has a sagging roof but at least it doesnt leak like the others did roofers should make a lot of money but im sure they dont its so dam hot working up there used a spot light to start at 4am and could only work until 9am think ill take a roof break for a few weeks now
my next project is moving two of my 2500 rainwater tanks that are not where they need to be
when i bought them i left them where they were dumped off the truck i connected them with water hoses so i could use them now i will have to pump the water out of them then i need to make a bed to place them on so that it is level and smooth i recycled the dirt out of the barn that i removed and replaced with river rock
the barn dirt is now like sand so no rocks etc can puncture the tanks when they get full of rainwater when in place will extend fence around the tanks to protect them from trucks lawn mowers falling rock bars etc
well at work this is going to be a "be nice day" called this because i need to work to be nice as i did not get enough sleep last night when in practice in past i would be up all night delivering a baby or up all night with a er pt or hospital patient then had to go to work the next day had to put myself in a be nice day mood
was in a deep sleep last night at 100am was staying in a motel traveling across country with friends while sitting in the lobby of our hotel i thought i saw our good friend from medical school wife walking by she has a distinct voice when i reached to tap her on the shoulder my wife jumped up in bed and yelled it got me it got me the scorpion got me well so much for my dream i was up in bed suddenly turned the light on she was jumping yelling she had two large whelps on her chest gave her benadryl for the reaction then tracked down the varmit it wasnt a scorpion it was a wasp that was now trapped in our bedside lamp
i used an old magazine to finish him off
she went back to sleep thanks to the benadryl but now i was wide awake read some of my book then fell a sleep
so today is a "be nice day" at work
