Hi there.
Legs feel squirrelly, I don't trust them today.

My neighbor brought me fresh eggs from her sister's farm so I'm fixing up some bacon and eggs, then work work work.

We get eggs on the regular from a buddy with his own flock. You should try making some pasta with those eggs.

Building a coop is on my list of potential projects for my funemployment journey, though it's pretty much already too late for chicks this year.
I won't actually raise chickens, I don't have the property for that. But hell if I wont seek out these fresh eggs every chance I get.

This is 100% my policy as well but my wife and kids keep asking. I'm like all you phuckers will leave the dirty work to me plus it's like $3-4 for a dozen eggs locally from farms, why would I spend the time and money for 1year of eggs from chickens.

holy smokes were those eggs good.
I'd recommend . . . NOT doing that.

beautiful weather this week . . . need to try to squeeze in a ride or two. maybe i'll get around to finding a new-to-me car too? hrmf. have some writing projects I need to get busy on but multiple periods of extended concentration are challenging.

kids have some bs end of school online field day shit at various times this week . . . they don't like it when they're at school . . . it's even dumber this way. FFS.

I was so freaking happy. I told the guy I bought it from I thought it had an electric motor hidden in it. I'm so so happy with the bike. I made the right purchase, I didn't spend K's and got exactly what I need. The bike was almost brand new so it's worth every penny. I think I need to buy a shorter stem and replace my Candy pedals because they were shot and didn't realize it until I rode yesterday. Oh and I need some new brake pads.

Fresh truly free ranges eggs are so good and the energy lasts much longer it seems. Probably from all the ticks they eat.

Lunch laps and I happened upon a scene of 10 cops arresting one guy getting filmed by about 50 people.
