Sensational Saturday number One morning Massachusetts, Ken, Lin, Bud, Don, Shaun, Tim, Pat and all the crew reporting.
Looks like a great day for in and AC in WV at 93°, full hot sun and feels like 95°.

We finally have gone into nugget production with the new girls! The ones collected yesterday were twice the size of what we got a couple a days ago. But not up to the size of the older girls! Still good eating!

Ken I hope your work day was a good one and the ladies too good care of you. As for lunch, may it be tasty and filling. Becky and I are meeting Mom, DD and I think Ethan for lunch at the local Mexican. DD with her Celiac issue can eat there.

The same xbox 360 I was fixing I saw on FB for $60 w/ like 40 games. It's like Cell phones, they get the people that HAVE to have the latest and greatest and they pay out the nose, only for it to be out did by a new phone 5 months later

Well, I'm going to have to go over and talk with the trash neighbor. Last night trash Panda brought his whole family over Only a matter of time till they come across the street to the coop. So better nip that completely in the butt now!

Well, no point in mowing today lol
Howdy Lin...we're glad Jonathan didn't pull the trigger when the prices came down. He's got a good head on his shoulders. Don't you have an animal control officer in town that can do it??? Hopefully you get positive results.

Lin, ya gonna replace that old X-box ? What was wrong with the one you couldn't repair ? Ain't gonna be long now that you're gonna have more eggs than you can eat !
Good afternoon Bud..."work" was good today...got on late...got off late. Since I'm the first in the building...there's NO reason for me to be on late. Only a One Katie Day...Katie Lyn had the day off for her birthday...I'll have to bring her some cupcakes on Hump Saturday. Her sister is also about ready to hatch...haven't heard yet. Apparently I'm not high enough on her priority list.

Good afternoon Rod...hope it doesn't get as hot as the forecasters are threatening. Nothing like freshly laid eggs...a whole lot better than the ones you can buy in the supermarket. See above regarding "work".^^^^^ Enjoy lunch with the family...that's 4 generations in one place at the same time!!!

Good afternoon Ken, Lin and crew.
Here the cat food bandits meet 22LR and no more bandits. Oh and cross bows are very quiet in the city, no one will know.

Ken glad you day was good and a Katie was there,

Howdy Rod...no issues with cat food bandits here...except for my roommate. It's stored in the kitchen safe from critters. Always good when there's a Katie there...the clinic really hit the jackpot when they were hired.

Howdy Bud...there are never any goodies left over. Nap wasn't great this afternoon...didn't turn on the A/C and it got a little uncomfortable. I took care of that issue though.

A friends investment property in the next town over had a fire yesterday. Two young kids playing with a lighter. One of the kids got a minor burn on his hand. Twelve FDs responded to the scene under mutual aid.

Cause of fire on Park Street in Turners Falls released | WWLP

That is not good and glad the boys weren't hurt other than a hand and pride!
3 and 6 years had no idea of the Consequences.
Again, glad it was not much worse!!

AC has been running sense about last May! But Sorry the nap wasn't good!
I don't have cat food bandit problems after about the second night of hearing the metal bowl out front get upset. They go to bandit land!
My breakfast bowl yesterday morning for Becky and I!

Good morning Massachusetts...and...all who visit this Saturday #2!!! Gonna be a scorcher here today...currently 70* with 91% RH...downright uncomfortable out there. Temp will eventually rise to the upper 80s...maybe low 90s. Today will be the coolest of the next 4...Excessive Heat Warnings in effect. I'm thinking the A/C is gonna get a workout today...possibility of showers during the day. Hope it's better in your little slice of heaven.

Not a whole lot of stuff on the agenda today...just some Suzy Homemaker items...probably a quick trip to the supermarket.

Hope y'all have a great day!!!

That looks great Rod...except for the cowboy candy there...not a fan of hot and spicy stuff. Not at all.

That watermelon looks great Tim...one of my favorite treats. Unfortunately...it's not allowed with my dietary restrictions. I may be known to sneak some from time to time though!!! Your daughter looks pretty proud of the harvest there.

OOOH Tim that looks like a Nice one ! Was is sweet or more flavorful ?
Rod that does look yummy.

Rainy day here , as Ken knows, and I think all day on and off. But I need to look at the news.

Did the interview last night and after the LAUNDRY list of things you have to do, the low pay for that much stuff, and being there when they call you on the alarm... I will rescind my resume. If I am going to move further to the west of the state I won't be able to get there in 15 min, more like an hour. There are also some hints of mutiny within the ranks and huge smoking inside issues (private clubs can smoke inside)...... I don't like to walk in on brewing issues so I will pass.

Speaking of Brews... Started the Spiced Metheglin Mead yesterday and it is bubbling away. Will have to swirl it 2x a day for 2 weeks then see how it is in 4 weeks total and go from there. Have it in the closet to keep it dark. It has Cranraisins, Orange Zest, Cinn stick, Allspice berries, 2 cloves and some liquid black tea. Think a Holiday drink yummmm Hope it turns out.

Good morning Lin...sorry to hear about the "no go" on the job...hang in there...you'll find something that works for you.

That looks like an interesting science experiment you have there. Do you have HAZ-MAT on stand by???
