A little late but here's for your rained in B-day @Baymule

Happy Birthday @Baymule. Storms for me too. A tornado warned one nearby that had me thoughtful for a few minutes. I’m hoping it’s sunny and breezy to dry Twister’s fleece today. Hubbs is involved in a golf tournament for work. He doesn’t play so he’s setting up the prize tent. It showed up yesterday during the weather and its box got soaked. It was a labor of Hercules to get it in my car and back to the house. Leo goes to the vet for another try at vax. Hopefully more cooperative today. I’m digging out a pinch collar- I mean business Buster behave yourself! He’s been a little shirty since Smitty died.

SSDD here at work. Had a summit/workshop yesterday. Some of the lectures were okay, one was insufferable ("We have lost the public's trust, how do we regain it?" ), but a couple were actually useful. Food was good, thankfully.

Now I am wading through the usual of inefficiency and incompetency that is our New Normal for healthcare. I'm not on the clinic side, but still...can't people just do their stinkin' jobs, and correctly? Schedule the conference for the date and time I emailed to them?


Rant over, going to pour myself another cuppa.

Not that far from me...

I initially read ^ as chickens gone Orange County. I imagined chickens standing around saying “Dude”. Hens comparing designer handbags. Seriously, I’m sorry but not surprised to hear about rural theft.

I find it depressing... but also expected in this day and age.

Let me find my hole to crawl back into....

That's not surprising. People are selling flipped hatchery chickens for as much as $65/hen around here because someone in power told them to get chickens. Those chickens will be resold.

*and $25/spent hen.

Considering egg prices too... scary stuff.

@fuzzi I just read that a few min ago. Sad. But, they'll do it!!! Especially if you have a field of them. Also, some have lost cattle. Then, there's this article to add to things.

Look in tank for any trash floating around or water in the tank, check fuel/water separator filters for any water there by draining the petcock on it, if not next will be change the filters themselves and get ready for a a fight to prime them if not electric fuel system. If not there then last resort is injectors.

We've done. Drained tank & used fresh diesel, all filters have been replaced. Just used the injector cleaner...filled bowl & ran. Helped a LOT. It runs fine, just bogs when we tried backhoe-- which is hydraulic, not PTO. So . Haven't tried using PTO since injector clean. Will run a 2nd bowl of seafoam thru. Then, engage PTO with nothing hooked??? Will that tell me anything or do I need to switch implements ?

I could use you at my place

Farmers used to use migrant workers, not illegals. I remember reading about people that would travel from crop to crop. I wonder what happened?

I'm concerned that the chickens were stolen for food.
