I hope these gigs keep on keeping on (without the arm/hand squash)

hamburgboy's late brother loved vehicles like this

I gotta wait and see if I get it, but...

if it still has the original drive train in it (and I think it does)

a lot of very cool old hot rod parts will bolt on.

or I may make it late model fuel injection powered...

@ehBeth,

I think gathering the eggs before it gets dark is my best bet.

(he says as the sun sets, and so do the eggs)

and my hand is ok.

but I just went deep in my pocket for a lighter, and about went to my knees.

my wrist is gonna take some time...

lucky it didn''t break a bone. it was a large cable box. heavy lid with a lot of swing.

I must be getting healthier...

gotta get some new chickens and some kind of protection. Weve lost all but 3 of 27 chickens (some of the flock had reproduced)
Weve been attacked by raccoons . Ive caught 2 in a HAVAHART trap and Ive taken em to the other side of the Susquehanna River .Yes there are bridges but they are only Interstate roads and the shortest bridge is1/4 mile long

@farmerman,

I ran off another skunk tonight. lost 2 more eggs...

interestingly enough, I just got off the phone with the best friend of the girl I had been dating.

she called to keep my spirits up.

and she has a live trap that needs fixing, but I can have it if I want it.

now I gotta figure out how to remove the little bastards without getting sprayed...

There is a dairy farm not so far down the road. I see skunk roadkill in that place more than elsewhere. I am thinking they are attracted by the feed for the cows. No matter how many get run over, there are more in the bushes. It's never ending, I suppose.
