7th for me Hahahaha, funny that. Australia is beautiful, and we have some really nice people here. We also have some average places with average people, just like anywhere else. What seems to impact on mot visitors is the vastness and the 'deadly animals' Australia is not as big as the US, but it is a widespread low population place. If I left home first thing in the morning, and drove towards the border all day for two days I would still be in our state! Towns are wide spread and small, yet we have modern cities, and some really nice beaches.Lol yep im April baby too. 15th. I like robot also. Your family is adorable. Always wanted to see Australia I bet its beautiful
We have grown up with the local animals, so kind of used to it, but visitors seem a bit jumpy as we have quite a few natives that are deadly or dangerous. It's not like they are under every rug or bush, but they are hear.
Shhhh, no one will know I was flexing the truth hahahaha. Sounds good for a bike ride. I don't mind camping, but our boys are 4 and 6, and mud magnets. I have camped with them in the yard before and it was a trying experience hahaha. When they are a little bit older I will take them out more often.hahaha! +20! My daughter Kendahl is a lefty - and very creative, must be a left handed thing
Love the bucket engineering. We're going camping later this month for 5 days and decided to go to a place close to home so that I could zip home each day to take care of letting the chickens out in the morning and locking up at night (I know...nice vacation). I had a nearby friend take care of them last year when we only had 8 chickens, she used our pool while we were away so she was happy. I don't want to leave her with the responsibility this time since there are so many more and so many ages - and she's NOT a chicken person. After losing two last week (one to a predator and one to unknown sudden death) I would hate to have something happen while she feels responsible. It's about 9 miles each way so I'm thinking an 18 mile bike ride in the mornings would be nice. By day two I may be doing some bucket rigging. LOL.
At least being close to home you get fresh eggs while camping, not many people can say that!
A very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY Em, 24 is a great age I think. Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway hahaha. Glad to hear it's going well.Speaking of birthdays, I'm 24 today
Spending the day with the kids, husband, and numerous chickens. Chickens MUST know it's a special day because they've all decide to take turns on my shoulder today!
Ben, can you fly to Indiana and put a little of that creativeness to work in my coop?
As for flying, I would lov to bring the family to the states and take some time to look around. A friend of mine just got back from riding Route 66 on a Harley, and also did a bit of time in a Camero (there was a few that took turns on the bikes or car) He had the best time and saw some 'off the beaten track' stuff. Would love to do it when the money permits.
Hahaha, the hand would certainly be on the list of places to go. I don't mind earning my keep if your family don't mind visitors hahahaWait in line Em - he's flying to Michigan first! LOL! Happy birthday!
That's right mate, Lefties rock. I saw your pic and that was why I brought it up, hoped to flush a few more of us out hahahaha.Right. Michigan first! Happy birthday Em!
Lefties all the way! I really think we are much more creative in the problem solving area. I posted a pic on face book not to long ago about lefties... Its kinda funny, but depressing because some of it describes me to a tee... Ho-hum
Good racing tomorrow, Ben.
Race went really well, I ran with Alicia as a 'motivator' lol, also known as 'annoying person with happy things to say that you just want to get away from' lol I am very proud of her, she set a new PB today, smashed her old time by about 2 minutes!!!!
Speaking of this,I came to update about project "Bucket"
50% win, 50% not = fail. Well, sort of, lesson learnt. The run gate was open, the lower bucket was filling but it had not yet opened the night box door. Poor fellers had been in there until almost 10 am. The dirty old bucket I used for the top, had some grit or sand or something wash into the hole, and slowed the flow. Worked, but something I did not anticipate floored my plan. Everyone was fine, the boy's were happy to get out, went to the girls, then the food and water.
Glad we won't be using it regularly!
