Mmmm, popcorn.........may just have to make a trip down to the local theater later this afternoon and buy me a bag of the good stuff..............

So today was a good day I suppose.
I went to a fur, feather swap meet.
Made a few local connections.....
Someplace that will but hatching eggs, duckings and chicks.... Yay!!!
Is also heard from my friend's husband and know she's still with us and fighting.
Also hooked up with my buddy.... Same guy I bartered for the 2x4s..... He has an massive music collection. Have him a64GB sd card he says he will fill it up for me..... Yay!!!!
But I scratched the tailgate on my new truck it's not "new" but is to me.... It's really in good shape . Nicest truck I've had in a long time. Not sure I'm letting the wife drive this one ever..... Last time she drive my truck she hot a tree.

Thank you so much for sharing the news on Rachel, Phil! I have been getting increasingly worried - especially when a recent text to her went unanswered.
Very jealous - have been looking for any swaps around here since we got settled and as far as I can tell there aren't any outside of one very big group that hosts three a year about two hours from here I have yet to find any. Maybe I found something I actually miss about Indiana, lol, at least there they had lots of different swaps.

Well I'm gonna go out and change the pressure switch on my well.... Nothing sucks like being in the middle of a shower with your hair shampooed up and the water quits......

What hair ? Don't have that worry.

Oy, my thumbs are growing weary -- been twiddling them for the last couple of hours. Got up bright and early with a great plan for the day and all I was going to accomplish - then my mom called and said she was 'in the neighborhood' and wanted to stop by (she lives over two hours away and was going to an event with a friend of hers - my house was only about 45 minutes out of the way ). So, my morning plans went out the window, but for good reason. Had a great visit with them, I absolutely love being in a place where family can just stop by when the mood strikes - it's the whole reason we made this move!
Anyway, got them off to the rest of their journey and got a text from DH saying that the LL had stopped by his work and was going to come by 'this afternoon' - they are taking all my extra chicks, including the two surprise boys we ended up with. So, here I sit, waiting for her......and thinking of all the errands I as going to get done today Oh well, there's always tomorrow, lol.....at least I'm getting a lot of chores done here at the house.

And here's why I love my geese. Finn, the gander, and Jasmine, the youngest female, walked over to it. Finn started very gently trying to pull it toward himself, to take care of it. The chick didn't understand and wasn't moving so he just kept gently trying to coax it. You ever see how a broody hen reaches out to roll an egg back under her? Picture that, with him very carefully trying to do that with the chick. The chick wasn't getting it though and unfortunately he had just had a drink so he was getting it wet. I decided I better pick it up. He watched me carefully as I scooped it up and then I showed it to him so he knew it was fine. He kept an eye on me though to make sure I wasn't hurting it.

Anyway, I finally got the broody and her chick installed in their crate and went to build the coop. Got one panel nearly done, was driving the last screw, and my drill died. Of course. Oh well, it was about to rain anyway, might as well call it for now.

Awww, what a good boy your Finn is!
Sounds like your day of grand plans went about as far as mine has -- here's to tomorrow!

Well I'm gonna go out and change the pressure switch on my well.... Nothing sucks like being in the middle of a shower with your hair shampooed up and the water quits...... Wait 30 seconds and it kicks back on.....I think the sensing time is plugged but I'm changing the whole switch cuz those cheap Chinese switches have given me fits.

I remember when we used to complain about Japan

Don't ya just love it . DW tells me I should make lists I know it won't get done then for sure . I drove a 140 miles yesterday and explained what and how it needed to be done to one of my customers. He called me this morning and talked for an hour about the same thing I told him yesterday. That I also concluded with I don't want the job it's to far from home Yet somehow I know I'm going to end up doing it anyway. DW is going to kill me don't ya just love this cow

All that reading & I forgot to quote.

I'm out of it. Our kitten got out of the house last night & ran away.

OGM & Friday, sounds like you had good days.

Rav, hope you're feeling better.

Phil, thanks for sharing Rachel's situations. Prayers for her & her family. Hope you're doing well, bud. Sounds like your day was a good one as well. (Cardinals beat those stinky Cubs! )

Hugs all around.
