So far I haven't been able to get a place for my wife & I out in the county where we could raise sme chickens. Between us we have also had a lot of health issues. We seem to spend a LOT of time seeing doctors. For those who love motorcycles, I will be having my Harley, pictured with me on it, converted into a Frankenstein trike. I wish everyone a great year & God bless.
