Funny- not funny "ha-ha" but funny weird. Chicago used to be one of my favorite places to go. There were several places in and around Chicago that we delivered kyanite to and I went there a lot. Got to where I knew the area pretty good. But now- you couldn't pay me to go to Chicago!

I gave a .22 Remington Fieldmaster pump that was my grandfather's to my niece, maybe I should get another .22. Everything I have would be overkill, a 12 gauge and a .30-06. I have a snubnose .38 but the chances of me actually hitting anything with that are slim and none.

Zina wanted chickens- but you know who's going to be taking care of all that! 🤣

Thanks Vlad, I finished the construction part this morning, all I have to do now is finish the fence.

Yep, and remember last year I saw a fox twice. Saw a raccoon on the camera at night a couple of times. I haven't seen coyotes but there's so many around they used to have a bounty on them, maybe they still do. There's always hawks flying around too, so I'm going to cover the extended run with wire so they won't call in an airstrike.

I had the end snap right off a bar one time when I was tightening the straps on a load of lumber in Moneta. I ended up on the ground under the trailer, but I didn't get hurt.

That's why they're going to be on the outside of the fence 😁 We're going to make an extended run for them using the chain link fence around the back yard for one side of it, so the dogs will be able to see them. We hope they get used to them and won't even pay any attention to them after a while. But I don't know, Mack still barks at the cows in the field behind us.

So, Zina decided she wanted to get some chickens. As for me, I'd just as soon get chicken from KFC and eggs from Kroger. But there's a saying, something about "happy wife..." So I've been working on this chicken coop that we got at Tractor Supply. They loaded it with a forklift and It was way too heavy for me to lift, I can only lift 490 lbs. So I had to open the box on the truck and carry it to the jobsite piece by piece. We've made decent progress on it though... I guess. I'll try to finish it tomorrow.

Yeah...

That sounds like when the boss says "we're not making any money, y'all need to cut back idling time, try to save fuel, don't buy any extra parts or accessories on the road if you can help it, blah-blah-blah..." And then the boss buys a brand new pickup. Seen it many times 🤣
