Beat all eggs and add at once instead of waiting to try and make sunny side up on top at the last minute(10-12). Or just add them earlier or break yolks so they cook along with whites. Just won't be as pretty.

I've always had an iron stomach so even for backyard chicken eggs, it's over easy for me. If I do scrambled, it's soft scrambled for me and let the rest cook a little more for my son.

Ok now I'm going to have to have eggs for breakfast. Little grocery store near me had a dozen medium eggs for $0.99 and I got the last dozen. At that price, eating two to every one extra large is no biggie. I was surprised the last dozen had zero broken eggs. Expected to open them at the store and see a mess.

I've got shredded potatoes, bacon and onion too. I buy the precooked bacon anymore. Nice and thin and it finishes off to slightly crispy in seconds. I'm the only one who eats it so the smaller package works out. Basically zero bacon fat leftover is a downside.

I need more chickens but need to build a better coup first. Want to build an A-frame style with good runners so I can drag it with the little tractor so it's not in one place forever. Good way to prep a strip of grassy ground for garden beds.

Right now I've got a heavy fiberglass truck topper sitting on a 4 foot tall frame of 2x4s that are rotten down low. Surprised the goats haven't knocked it down yet when they rub against it to scratch themselves. The 200+ lb buck will knock some things over like that.

First herbs growing. Store had Italian Oregano and Cilantro so I grabbed one of each. Tried a fresh leaf of each. Oregano yummy, cilantro not so much. Cilantro was a little wilted from the potting soil drying out. Will have to try again today but quite an aftertaste the first time.

Gotta replace that A-frame on the car today but not before doing some welding repair. My little air compressor has a hole rusted through the bottom so I need to weld a patch over it because it's leaking faster than it can pump and I need the impact gun for the car. Also have my eye on a couple used compressors on CL. Would be nice to have one up at the house and one down at the shed. They have wheels and are "portable" but with the handles being so short, they try to run up on your heels when dragging them so then you have to take a gazillion baby steps while dragging something. pita

Then it's on to small engine service and soldering that tractor radiator. I know all the bolts holding the radiator support/housing are going to break off in the frame because one already was when I got it and the rest are rusted in.

With the new weekend shift, today is my Saturday so this has been my Saturday morning ramblings post.
