Well...we have 32 meat birds in the freezer. I need to figure out what they cost me. Started out with 35...lost two when they were little, and one on a really hot day. We worked them up yesterday. Got up at 5:30 and to her house an hour away at 8:30...we finished at 4:00. No ax, just a scalpel. She had quite the set-up. A station with cones hung on the fence (which I parked next to), a station for dipping them in hot water, one with the plucker they made (very cool), one where we eviscerated them, and then one where we put them in cold water prior to bagging. It was a long day. After, I looked at a 2005 Dodge Caravan with 44K...our car died last week. It had 196,000 miles on it. The timing belt broke...same timing belt that was put on it back in 1997. :-) ooops. We should have something “new” by the weekend.

Myman is like a cat with 9 lives...and he's on number 15...

I would dearly love to check out that setup.

We’re going to nail a cone (upside down milk jug) to a tree, and use the bbq grill to keep the scalding water hot and freeze soda bottles of water to keep the water cold for the cool-down. We intend to do four or five at a time...the biggest ones first.

Hey! Our rabbits look like they may kindle any day! They started making nests in their boxes yesterday.

Is it rough going with the chemo right now?
