That’s a purdy bike. I had a CB 160 at one time. Really liked it.

Well I tried to convince the chickens to go to the fenced in area. Nope didn't want anything to do with the run, just hung close to the barn/home area, so they got spooked the other day with the fox trying to get them. Tried to buy an electric kit/poultry mesh supplies. Ok I get the message-try back in 2021 you say.

PepperJ,
Something that has helped me was something I did not expect. I do a call to the chickens when I am going to give them a treat.
Now, when I do the call, they all come running (except the two chubby ones, they just do the best they can to keep up with the others).

When I need to move them to the other yard, I just do the call, but you DO need to give the treat . . . don't want to cry wolf lol.
Surprising how well that works.

Well I got the chickens back in the run this afternoon, Max is keeping watch at the moment while I have a nice curry mango chicken sandwich for lunch.

Finished up the freezer portion of the blueberries this morning/afternoon.
Making blueberry jam at the moment as well, two different pots on the go.
1 is straight blueberries nothing will be added, just reduce on a low heat till it's thickened up.
The other I added my Maple syrup to it for a richer taste, and it will be reduced to a very thick jam.
This will be the base for my candy chews that I put a dab on a half pecan. (Tray of 40 halves will last 30 minutes at a gathering of 10)
I've done all sorts of combinations over the years from a soft taffy to a Humbug.
Best one is 1/2 pint of maple syrup, 4oz of organic salted butter, bring it up to 200F pour it a silicone tray, put it in the freezer.
Basically it's a 2 per person hit and one can feel a sugar rush go through the body.

Back to jam, chickens, gardens................

Keeping supper simple tonight....my wife marinated some chicken breasts with yoghurt, garlic and lemon juice which will be grilled.

I steamed some yellow beans from the garden and I'll finish them off in a pan with some butter, salt and pepper to get them roasted a bit. Some zucchini slices breaded will be done in the air fryer. Not sure on the starch maybe some egg noodles.

 

[WannaDig3687]

Lol, is it the rum, or the effects?

YES!

I've emailed folks all day about selling the STG magazines. We'll see what happens tomorrow. In other news, something I ordered got lost in the mail, and me and the seller both came to an agreement on something else.

I also put in a request to another fellow who has two 37mm tank shells. One is a rusty 37mm AP U.S. shell, used in light tanks such as the Stuart, the M22, and the M2A2. Another is a WWII German stamped practice shell, for the Pak anti-tank gun. The PAK gun was the best German anti-tank gun in the early war, and devastated Polish and light Russian armor.
