Monday puppies for your timeline.
#dogsofmastodonTwo firefighters have been confirmed dead after they were ambushed when responding to a wildfire. This is a terrible, terrible day in the wildland fire community and my heart is broken for the firefighters and their families.
New replacement chickies. A Rhode Island Red, a Buff Orpington, a Gold Wyandotte, and a Black Star. They will live in a pen in the garage while we build a replacement fox-impervious chicken coop.
We now have a Hairy Woodpecker looking around for carpenter bee larva.
#birdingCatastrophe struck the chicken coop last night. A fox pushed a hole through the chicken wire and we lost all 4 chickens 😢. Time to do a complete rebuild of the coop and run while we raise replacement chickens in the garage. The chicken wire was likely weakened by age, but that was one strong (and hungry) gray fox. Moving to welded wire and probably an electric perimeter wire.
@dianea @ai6yr So we recently signed up for the Ridwell service that “recycles” food and plastic shipping (think Amazon) packaging. They claim most of it goes into products like Trex decking and the like. Is this different than the extruders you used to deal with?
#HateGreenWashing @ai6yr @DeniseG A bad ground wire can cause all sorts of problems. Wiring problems are nasty. Good luck with it. I assume you have a can of DeOxit spray and have drenched all those contacts.
And more sharing practice. Notice the improvement? 🤣
#DogsOfMastodon@sarae Healthy and getting teeth. They have recently discovered that toes are fun to gnaw on. Both over 6 pounds
