Maggie’s What's Your View II

Sunday morning wake up call. Shot a few cylinders through the 1904 Colt Bisley with my Uncle when he stopped by for a bit.

I love babies and that is some damn fine inspiration for him to keep an oops from happening.
he looks like he about to crap himself!🤣
He was an oops himself. Met his mom on my 21st birthday. He was born 1 day shy of nine months later. His brothers are 20 years younger than him. His mom and I haven't spoken in years but at least I got him out of the deal. No regrets.
 
My man! Get some. Those roots sure are clean?

You washed with the hose?

What continent or country are they from? Sure have white skin also. I'm guessing the type, but I don't want to assume. Fill me in.

Yes I wash them with a hose as soon as I harvest and when I do that the first layer or two of skin comes off and they are very clean. About 1/4 of them are Italian purple and the rest are commercial from Gilroy Calif.. I cheat and just snag a few heads at the supermarket for seed.

I read, many years back, not to do that. I can't remember the reason though and it must have been BS. I leave mine dirty. Adds texture to the seafood pasta.

Clay?

Someone building a pond?

Job I did in Boston we went some 50 feet deep into the blue clay.

Stuff was beautiful, plastic, like modeling clay.

Would have made a superb range berm.
It’s river mud/stilt/sand. It’s an intake channel off the river for the irrigation district to pump up water for farmers. Water levels are low in the California rivers now, because they’re holding it all in the dams. So when it gets real low it starts to wash all the shit in the channel and we get less flow to our pumps.

Barred rock, bantums and RIR. Here a couple of years ago. Too much to keep up with. Love the birds.

They are a handful for sure. This breed is very personable and will jump in your lap and sit with you. First time ever having chickens and I’m a fan so far.

Most appliance fixes arent too hard. Just a little mechanical skill and desire to learn.

Replaced a fuse on the back of a built in oven last year.

Same part (exact) with different brand and number was $15 and took 40 min to install.
Old GF thought she needed a new oven.

I enjoy fixing stuff though. Started with my dad as a little kid. Didnt know it then, but we were poor and had too. And he was damn good at it. Still is.

Im not poor, just cheap.

Wish more shit was manufactured for eventual repair.

EDIT: forgot about the Australorps. Hawks picked off everyone of them over a two year period.

I like the Australorps. They have neat coloring. We have 3 hawks on the property so I’m waiting on that game to begin. I caught them this morning teaming up on a little brown house wren that had pushed its luck going after their food. Two of them had it cornered pecking the shit out of it.
