I was supposed to get them today, however, as of this morning only seven out of the ten I ordered had hatched. Hopefully I will be able to pick them up tomorrow.
I’m getting Buckeye Chickens. They ate a dual purpose egg/meat bird. From what I’ve read they are very cold hardy so I shouldn’t have to worry to much about them this winter.
I’ve got my brooder all set up:
It hasn’t been super cold here this year. We’ve only had a couple days and many nights below freezing. It’s been enough to kill most of the veggies but some are still going, some limping along.
I changed my diet 27 days ago now to a low carb and sugar free diet. I just went cold turkey, from a vegetarian diet prior, which was interesting to say the least. I am basically following the paleo diet these days, tho that’s just a label to make it easy to reference the way I am eating. I’ve heard it called paleo, primal, caveman, and various other things, all being about the same.
Did a bit of rescaping over the last couple weeks. I’m not overly happy with the tall tank, but we will see how it grows out.
Well, what do you know, I’m in zone 6a. I have no idea what zone I was in before, but now I know what zone I would be considered now!

Fuck you.
Yes, you read that right.
For the 3rd year now, winter has brought me flaky internet connection. I go to browse the interwebs. The modem dies. I call the support line. As directed, I unplug it and plug it back in. The support line recommends a service technician come out and take a look. The connection comes back online (sometimes minutes before the service technician arrives). The service tech comes around, looks around, and says they can’t find a problem. Occasionally, they’ll make an appointment for a line technician to come out, replace parts, or say they’ll “monitor things”. This Wednesday, I’ll have my third appointment in 3 weeks. So far this year, I’ve only lost 1/2 vacation day. I’m actually coming out ahead of last year at this point.
I totaled my car last week, which is a major bummer to me. I really loved that car. It was getting old, no bones about that, and had some issues that were going to need fixing coming up sooner rather then later, but I still loved that car. It got amazing gas mileage and I could haul a lot of stuff around. I got an average of 40 mpg….and it cost around $20 for me to fill the tank.
Beds built! Now just gotta fill them!
