I bet the rooster does all the "swinging"
Out in the shop just enjoying a smoke and a damn black widow almost took my life.... Ok not really... But he did make a web in the corner and therefore threatened my existence... Spidey dead now... But I got pic first.. Of course I don't know how to post it from this phone... But it's a spider.. It's black... Has an hourglass on it and looks like he was smashed into plywood with a shovel... To paint the picture

Only when they are not riding in that overturned wagon...

I'm sure it was right side up when they started riding it, but then things got a little out of hand.
Notice how one chicken is still so shocked that it's staring at the wagon, but the rest are running away trying to pretend nothing happened.

Did a tune-up on my little pickup today. Went to change the fuel filter, should be a simple enough job. Except they put the fuel filter right over a cross member and I can't quite get my wrenches on it. There's tons of room on that frame rail, 6 inches in either direction would have made it a piece of cake. Now I have to pay a shop to do it.
Hey, with Prius, to change out a headlight, you have to take it to the shop and have them drop the bumper to get to them. Only negative I have with mine after 9 years.

Funny. I thought the original Walking Dead was slow until this past season (that may have been because I read the first ten books and knew where things were going). But yeah, they are taking too much time here. There's only so much watching someone look though a closet I can take.
But I did like the way tonight's episode ended. Want to see more of that.

well, i'll remind you to never complain about Beckers again
I don't believe I ever have. My only problem is not having a big enough budget for them all right now

Good morning all !! Took the day off to celebrate my wife's birthday, but going to get a bit of work done around the yard as well.
Thanks for the first part...not sure about the second...
Not yet... The story there is that when I moved in 10 years ago, the previous owners had fenced that corner of the yard and had one of those big wooden play areas (fort, slide, sandbox, swings, etc) for their grandkids. I removed most of it to make room for the chicken coop, but left the posts and beam for the swing set. When I was growing up, my dad got some bantam chickens, and one of the hens (my mom's favorite) used to jump up on a swing and flap her wings to get it swinging. When it started slowing down, she'd flap her wings to keep swingin'. I'm hoping one of these hens will figure it out as well.
They are only 16 weeks old, so not quite yet.
The three youngest Americaunas do like to climb on the push mower while they are out of the pen and ranging the yard. Usually one on the top/handle, one on the middle cross bar, and one on the engine. It's electric, so we make sure it's not plugged in just in case they try to start it.
nice looking chickens
second hand chicken smoke though

That's chickens for yah... Always trying to act all innocent... But in reality we know... That's why we eat them, plus they are delicious.

WW: My old man's best mate knew this guy who was out cutting down dead trees in a paddock bout 20 years ago. He got half way through one with the chainsaw and a massive branch dropped into him. It decapitated him on the spot. He was found later that night by a search party that his wife organised when he didn't return. Be careful brother..
Jerry: where in Tahoe did you stay? My wife and I honeymooned there a few years back. We stayed in a house at the end of War Bonnet Way in Incline Village. Two of the best weeks of my life. Broke three ribs snow boarding at Squaw Valley then the missus got pneumonia and we had to go home. Well, after she was cleared to fly. The water in that lake is like none I've ever seen. SOOO clear..
Coop: thanks for porking us. T'was nice. Let's do it again some time..
Mike: that Junglas is hideous. I'll get rid of it for you. Send it to me. In exchange I'll give you a box of packing peanuts, a signed copy of the pamphlet 'What's happening in Brisbane this week' by Ben Thurlow and a tissue with my wifes lipstick on it. The tissue may or may not get you into trouble..

Does anyone else get a certain satisfaction from buying/trading, or other means of gaining a used knife that needed a lot of work done by the previous owner that he wasn't aware of and Really bringing it back to life?
I just traded into an M4 mini grip, and it was Really rough. It had three different bevels on each side of the blade, hasn't been cleaned internally in over a year and a half, grit wore through the dlc coating in the pivot area of the blade...
just a rough knife...
But now it is Near new aside from some slight pitting, but that is just character now... Needless to say, I am digging my new folder.

It's a good feeling to be sure, I got a Spyderco Stretch in ZDP a while back, which was completely dull. I spent a long time fixing that edge up, but it's served me well since then and probably my favorite of the FRN-handled Seki Spydercos.
