Ladies and Gentlemen, I need your help

[Gunfixr]

Well, not much useful going on in my life.
Not prepping right now, working towards a move.
Never really gardened or did other "homestead" type things here on the city, but after the move, plan to.
Not really doing a whole lot of gun stuff, work has declined. In fact, I become unemployed next week, as the shop is closing. I can post a couple builds, that's about it. Did get a gun class last summer.
Transportation, comms hasn't changed much, in a holding pattern.
Not much medical, did get a suturing class last summer.
No bushcraft in the big city, will be after the move.
Sick of politics.
Not much money, it's going out in far more directions than what comes in.

The move? On hold. Recently passed father's house for sale, psycho sister screwing the deal.
Now, if you want to hear my life's drama, I got enough of that to fill volumes.
But that's about all I got, for most of the past year, and into the immediate, at least, future.
This site isn't about drama, so I've tried to keep that down.

Sorry haven't been on as regularly. Work has been a b**ch due to company "re-organizations", people leaving, I'm now doing 3 other peoples jobs along with trying to keep my own work up. Now that I moved retirement date to the 29th of this month I'll be able to get on more. I get home from work now, eat dinner, sit down to watch a TV show and Dahubs wakes me up to go to bed. I'm exhausted but on a happier note all my grand babies will be here Sunday, so Christmas will be AWESOME for us. May all my Ant family have a Great Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year
Love you guys!!

Awe...u miss me? Miss u too Sniper Dude. Well after 4.5 years of fighting all those corporations we finally got them to settle on that land we bought. Now we are looking for a new piece all over again. It takes hours and hours of sifting through websites looking for something that might be something we would even consider looking at. Hate having to go through this process again but gotta do it.
I got two new baby chicks this summer, named the boy Abraham and the girl Buttercup. Was great until they turned out buttercup was the boy and Abraham was the girl! So, just changed Abraham to Avi and she still knows her name. Such a beautiful and loving girl she is! I go out to clean the coop and their yard area and she jumps up on my shoulder and rides everywhere with me waiting patiently for yum yum time. Buttercup will see me and come running or cock a doodle doo if I don't pay attention to him right away. He talks to me by saying 'wadda wadda wadda' and tries to jump on my arm but he's gotten too big already! So I just have to pick him up and love on him. Think he and my male Guinea hen don't like each other though, Buttercups comb which is huge, has been bloodied twice already and he's white so it looks like someone has tried to butcher him! Overall, I love my chickens and try to spend as much time with them as possible.
I made a contact with the owners of a breakfast place in town and they happily agreed to let me have egg shells to give my girls. They save them in a 5 gallon pickle bucket for me and I can just dry them out and crush them. Figure by the time summer gets here I should have gallons of shell. They won't eat oyster shell so this is perfect for egg production. I haven't been getting any eggs the past couple of months so I started giving them shells about a week ago and I have 3 girls who have started laying again. How cool is that? Love free stuff.
BWRR bought me the coolest hand hammered copper still from Portugal for Hanukkah. It's so I can make my own essential oils. Obviously I won't be able to do any until the summer when everything is ready to harvest. Maybe we should make some hootch in the meantime while I can. Once oils are made in it can't use it for anything else.
How far are you from N. Dakota?

Ladyhawk ... don't know if you do it already or not but I use a red heat light bulb when we set clocks back. It tricks the hens into laying consistently just as they do in the spring and summer.

I know people do that but I want my girls to stay as natural as possible. They are obviously missing calcium from their bodies which is needed but I don't want to force laying if they wouldn't do it with the natural light they already have. They give me lots of eggs The rest of the year so I'm not going to complain.

Thanks for the update. I'm glad that you finally got that fiasco sorted out.

Geez girl, you talk about those those chickens like they're more than just food. I used to have a cat like that, once...


I guess it depends on what part of N Dak you're talking about... lol. I can be at Pembina (I29, two miles before the border) in less than two hours. Grand Forks in just over three.

Why? you comin' visiting? Or are you just making notes for future cat rescues?
lol

Let me know, I'll fire up the barbie and we'll que up some burgers...

Dude, you're having all the fun. Everyone is getting divorced around here. It does sound interesting though. But the guys do seem to have smiles on their faces. They all got new girlfriends..............

OK so where were you 17yrs ago?
