    Default Sometimers' disease....again

    Did anyone see what I did with that roll of chicken wire I took out of the Jeep this morning?
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    You can't see it because RICK put his Camo thong on it to dry after swimming this morning.

    You put it in a highly visible place to remind yourself to do something with it later.

    Yep, I found it!

    I had put it in the chicken house so it would be where I needed it.

    I bought an extra 25 feet to make a small run for the girls. Their tractor cage is only 4x8. This gives them an aditional triangle 8 feet on each side to play in. It is a portable yard to go with their portable house. They think they are in the big yard now, strutting around, scratching, pecking and chasing bugs like a bunch of Boy Scouts.

    Glad you found it. I was going to suggest looking next to the poles for the big tent.

    Yeah, I spent about 10 minutes looking around Walmart for the sunglasses I left in the truck this afternoon. (sigh)

    Just think of the time we have to get more done if we weren't always looking for what we just put down.

    Yep, this has been going on for some time has it not!

    All hope is lost!

    But I never forget what I went to the LGS for, only the insignifigant stuff like food, shelter and chicken wire.

    After finding the wire I ran into the additional problem of having to relocate the wire-cutters, hammer and bailing wire I had put down somewhere so I could look for the chicken wire. That took another 15 minutes.

    As for remembering passwords, I have no idea what my password on this site is! I stay logged on perpetually. I can not remember the last time I had to use my password.

    I lost a 3/32" carbide drill bit the other day. I spent a few minutes looking for it and was starting to question my sanity. I thought to myself ---- I had just taken it out of the drill press so it can't be too far. As I began to retrace my steps I realized it was still in my hand. Must have left it there for safe keeping.

    I for one believe the chickens moved the chicken wire and possibly the wire-cutters and hammer. Chickens are like that. They will do stuff while you're not looking and then act all innocent. Do you have a cat around there? There's something about cats and bailing wire. You can't set a roll down without them cartin' it off. Oh, and don't let the cat around your computer. He'll erase all your stored passwords!

    I've been thinking about building a run myself. I generally free range but this year I have 3 grown and 20 half grown birds and i'm not ready to let them out yet. Want to make for sure they know where home is.

    The funny part is that today at work I was looking for a roll of chicken wire I know I saw layin somewhere, we have no use for it at work so I was thinkin about putting it to work.

    My chicks were a month old yesterday.

    They are growing fast and are feathered out nicely. Real pretty little birds.

    They are training well too. If I wait for dark and turn their light on inside the chicken house they all go inside and climb on their little root poles under the lights to stay warm. I just close the door behind them.

    I was thinking about how much smarter chickens are then human kids;
    They go inside when you turn the light on for them.
    They do not mind being locked inside and told when they can go out.
    They never talk back, although the rooster gave me the stink eye the other day.
    They are always glad to see me when I go in the pen, espically with feed.
    They never complain about the same food day after day.
    If I do not feed them they scratch around and find something on their own.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    Sadly, you've just described me.
