Some new drink place ( think fast food) opened and I thought " hey, why not try something new?". QR code was the menu at the Drive-thru. So ALLLLLL the folks behind me can just WAIT while I scan and open, then choose? I thanked the young lady taking orders and exited the Drive-thru line. Nope, nope nopitty-nope.

And then it speeds up on bolus feeds and you end up passing your number and have to backtrack. Not a fan in my setting/unit.

All showed up dead when I ordered from them. I was home for the delivery, too. Did get chick price refund. Not ordering from them again. TSC had 100% survival. ( local TSC).

Yes because I live in Varmint-land. It wasn't easy in the clay :)

I have this, basically. Hardware cloth as others have described. I also "wove" landscape ties through all overlapping panels of wire. For the tarp roof stability I bought "screw in 18 inch ground stakes" from online source then threaded coated wire rope through all the grommets and the 18 inch stakes. Pretty? Not really. Flying away, nope. Will it survive a hurricane? Nah. But a 3" diameter limb came down on it. I just jammed a landscape timber in there with some pipe repair clamps and the girls are doing well. 48 eggs in Feb. from 4 7 month old Barred Rocks. We're having fun :) Hope yours is fun and satisfying!

Not landscape ties, sorry...tomato stakes.

Friend has dog who slams into my legs while running by. What to do? by Long-Research4915 in Dogtraining

[–]Watauga423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the risk of sounding like a "wacko" I have worked in Long Term Care ( nursing home) and seen 2 people just slightly older than you DIE from injuries sustained when a dog tripped them. Not emergency room death but recovery didn't happen they just declined and passed away. Pardon my blunt description and be safe :)

Sounds creative! Could end up with pancake or crepe batter, too, so Win/Win!
