    Russia and Turkey were getting along quite well, it was looking like Russia would woonTurkey away from NATO while Turkey would vie with Iran for top spot on Russia’s dance card. Then Turkey starts shooting at Russian planes that were bombing Turk buds in Syria while Russia threatens Turkey and Hezbollah to bear on Turkish surrogates.
    Now it appears that Syrian insurgents armed and supported by the CIA are fighting with Syrian insurgents armed and supported by the DoD. I’ve seen family reunions less complicated than Syria.

          But I’m not a major player in international politics [with the emphasis on “play”].

          I’m just a person who finds it impossible to make comments about things I know little about. Which, of course, will eternally disqualify me from seeking public office.

          I wanna see how well Turkey and Iran play in the sandbox. With Iran sharing the Caspian with Russia and Turkey sharing the Black Sea it’s going to be interesting watching Russia protect its vital interests on its southern water borders if those two go sideways with each other, Russia maybhave given birth to a major problem here.

    Okay I just saw on CL the rent-a-chicken woman. This lady is going to make a killing if she can find enough stupid people.
    I think I’ll start doing it and calling it the homestead experience.lol
    I might rent goats and cows and pigs. 🙂

    Her price is $499 for 3 months. Here is what they get:
    Chicken tractor(btw you can build one for about 50 bucks or buy a good one for around $400, cheap ones for around $100.)
    Bag of feed(averages $15)
    1 Bag of Pine shavings(averages $5)
    Water bottle and feed dish(not sure what she’s offering, regular chicken waterer averages about $8 and feeder about $10)
    2 hens

        Make it part of the marketing. Make the documents more personal, i.e. adoption papers (big fee), make personal profiles for each chicken possibly with vacation photos (Mt. Rushmore, Grand Canyon, etc.)
        Then it won’t matter if the bird croaks, they’ll gladly shell out the money to try again and again.

        Who they gonna get to wash the eggs? Perhaps an enterprising relative can start a chicken yard service business.

        Call me dense, but I just ain’t understanding why you don’t go get you some chickens, slap ’em in a makeshift pen, see if you are right for each other, and eat if it you don’t wanna keep it. But then I am not an enterprising chicken entrepreneur either.

          I’m not getting it either. For 2 darn chickens, slap you a quick A-frame house together and build a run off of it.

          We have these cages we build to put feathered out chicks in that consist of a 2 X 4 frame and chicken wire. It costs about $25 to make and then we use a dog house for shelter.
          I see a lot of people do it similar for a few chickens and just cover one end with a tarp.

      She has a website, good sales pitch, but it doesn’t cost $2000 to get chickens to laying age. It also doesn’t cost $100 to feed a chick to laying age. If you only had 2 chicks a 50lb bag of chick starter would last you for about 6 months, probably longer. We have hundreds of chicks at a time and a bag of chick starter lasts us almost 2 weeks and we’re hatching every week.
      $100 for feed dishes, medication, and treats is also ridiculous. The only medication chicks need is to prevent coccidia you can either buy feed that already has that medication in it, usually the same price sometimes less than the cost of non-medicated feed, or you can buy powdered medication to put in the water. It’s 6 bucks for a bag of it and it makes several gallons. I don’t buy chicken treats.

      I hope she finds a lot of stupid people and makes a lot of money, but it’s going to take a lot of stupid people.

          Keeping chickens is trendy among the smart set. Trendy towns (I live in one) are passing ordinances to allow people to have a couple or three chickens in their backyards. Goats would be more practical, but I doubt that will happen.

              People don’t think. I ran into a lady in the parking lot at the vet, and she was very upset that her dog crapped all over her upholstery. I suggested to her that she might want to get a crate.

              Mine rides in a crate, especially if we’re on a longer car trip.

                Oh he showed up with a crate to put it in, one of those pop up kind that doesn’t hold pee and a goat can chew out of. lol

                I usually have other issues with people at the vet. Every year when we take the livestock dogs in for rabies vaccines, someone has to comment on them being in a cage in the back of the truck.
                I guess they’ve never had to get dogs who live with livestock and weigh over 150lbs into a vehicle.

                    An old farmer decided that it was time to get a new rooster for his hens. The current rooster was still doing an okay job, but he was getting on in years so the farmer figured that getting a new rooster couldn’t hurt anything. So, he gets a young rooster and lets it loose in the barn yard.

                    The old rooster sees the young one strutting around and he gets a little worried. “So, they’re trying to replace me,” thinks the old rooster, “I’ve got to do something about this!” He walks up to the new bird and says, “So, you’re the new guy in town. I bet you really think you’re hot stuff, don’t you? I’m not exactly ready for the chopping block yet. I bet I’m still the better bird and to prove it, I challenge you to a race around that hen house over there. We’ll run around it ten times and whoever finishes first, gets to have all the hens for himself.”

                    Well, the cocky young rooster was a proud sort and he definitely thought that he was more than a match for the old guy, so he said, “okay, you’re on. And since I know that I’m so great, I’ll even give you a head start of half a lap. I’ll still win easily.”

                    So, the two roosters go over to the hen house to start the race and all the hens gather around to watch. The race begins and all the hens start cheering the roosters on.

                    After the first lap, the old roster is still maintaining his lead. After the second lap, the old guy’s lead has slipped a little but he’s still hanging in there. Unfortunately, the old rooster’s lead continued to slip each time around and by the fifth lap he just barely led the young rooster.

                    By then, the farmer has heard all the commotion. He ran into the house, got his shotgun, and ran out to the barn yard, figuring a fox or something was after his chickens. When he got there, he saw the two roosters running around the hen house with the old rooster still slightly in the lead. He immediately took his shotgun, aimed, fired, and blew the young rooster away. He walked away slowly saying to himself….”Damn! That’s the third gay rooster I’ve bought this month!”

          The Trump rally? I posted some pictures in the WI Rally thread. I got there at about noon as they changed the time to starting at 4. My friend who was going to go with me had a last problem and had to bail so I made friends in line. As it turned out a couple of guys were also alone and all 3 of us met in the same spot in line. Anyhow we were wondering if we would even get in and by the time we got to the metal detectors I asked an officer and he said less than 10 minutes and the venue would be at capacity.

          So we all thought that we would be on the outskirts but as we walked through he door a woman approached us and said go sit under the big flags tell them Julie (?) sent us so we worked our way through the crowd told the guy guarding the entrance and he was very gracious and took us right in :).

          We were all like did this really just happen? So I now officially have two new buddies, one is going to send me a video of me shaking Mr. Trumps hand 😀

    Good morning all! I sure do miss my chickens. I’m getting too feeble to look after more, so as they died out I didn’t replace them. I had a small flock (12) of Black Australorpes. They all had names and were so docile and sweet. Good eggs too!

      This dame and her devil of Islam walked by chanting “Trump is hate” and some fellow shouts out, If you show me your ankle your husband can kill you and you think Trump is hate? Get real”!

    Did a 320-mile round trip with the bossman today.

    Rented a trailer from that famous trailer rental company, and took off at 6 A.M.

    Missed a step or two in the hitching process, mainly the one which locks the hitch to the ball.

    Got all the way through rush hour G.R., then 65 miles northeast, into farm country, to get the first of two load of reclaimed barn wood for the new joint.

    About 2 miles from the barn, following GPS, we came over a rise on a country road, missed the turn, braked, and separated the trailer from the hitch, which proceed to give us both near-heart attacks by bucking back and forth on the chains. The E-brake activated because the chain pulled it. Got it hooked up, didn’t hook up the electric, made it to our destination.

    I read the whole Company PDF and searched the entire internet. Apparently this has never happened before. There is absolutely no advice online on how to reset this particular E-brake, although I never looked at the brand name on e-brake assembly itself.

    So, we’re smarter in the afternoon, and two large pry-bars and my foot on the pedal we snap it back into place. It was joyous.

    You’re actually supposed to call them, I gather, so they can fine you for not reading the instructions first, and use whatever special tool or technique they (and only they) possess to reset the brake. Or at least watching a YouTube video or two. The only ones I could find on the topic were videos of catastrophic accidents.

    We are lucky we made it through GR. We would have made the evening news.

    Now I have to pressure wash and lightly sand all of it. Then we go back and get the second load.

    At least I know everything about how to hook up these people’s trailers, now.

      Oh, and according to the rules, we’re not allowed to transport building materials.

      We weren’t. We were transporting antiques.

        What rules? Whose rules? Do building materials in Michigan just get up and fly off to the jobsite?

              Look, if this company is able to delete every online reference to this, as they say in the PDF manual, “unlikely occurrence”, from the entire internet, then, since I care about my boss’s bottom line, I’ll contin-u to be circumspect, y’haul.

            We went to rent a car hauler one time from U-Haul they asked us what we were going to haul and what we were pulling it with. My DH said, if you rent a car hauler don’t you think you’d be hauling a car?
            Then they told us that their guidelines say a F250 diesel is not rated to pull a car and trailer. My DH told them their guidelines were full of s..t. So they said well if you had said you were hauling a motorcycle, golf cart or ATV we could rent it to you. So he told them he was hauling a motorcycle. They told him to come back tomorrow or go to another UHaul and tell them he was hauling a motorcycle and then he could rent it.
            So he went to the other UHaul rental place and told them he was hauling a motorcycle and they wanted to know why he needed a car hauler to haul a motorcycle and he told them, “because the place down the street told me I had to say I was hauling a motorcycle.”

            They rented him the trailer and nowhere on any of the paperwork did it specify what he was hauling or what he was pulling it with.
            He took it to where my son was broke down, loaded the car up and pulled it home, griping the entire way that they said his truck couldn’t pull a dang car, telling me all he had pulled with his truck, like I didn’t already know.

    The POtuS had his little warm and fuzzy ‘see how much I care’ moment today as he flashed his doe-like eyes at the viewers and sniveled about the huge and ‘unexpected’ (quotes mine) number of opiate deaths. Y’all see that?
    Let’s go back a month or so where an insightful and gracious poster put the ‘increased heroin-relared death’ prediction either here or the other place. If a lowly, yet insightful and gracious, poster could predict the wave then why didn’t the government do so, they surely saw the blinding light at the very close end of the tunnel?
    Let’s also ask why the Afghan opium poppy crop will be allowed to be harvested and its product refined into heroin to be shipped right to the awaiting veins in the US. There’s a whole piece on how the US is responsible for the resurgence of opium production in Afghanistan but why does the US, in particular State, still stop the military from destroying the crops? One wonders why a POtuS who comes from a city that’s now mayored by his ex chief-of-staff, a city that was a Mexican cartel’s center of midwest distribution for years, is only now himself addressing the issue. The insigtful yet gracious poster wants to know.

      Have Obama and Erdogan done the Ribbon-Cutting yet at the USA’s Biggest Mosque yet in Maryland (named after Queen Mary, who was named after the mother of Christ, if that means anything at all to anyone here, *ahem*)?

      It’s scheduled for this week.

      Imagine, for a moment, if you will.

      GWB and Jerry Fallwell get together and cut the ribbon for Our Nation’s largest Evangelical Protestant Born Again Church complex.

      Imagine the outcry. Imagine the angst.

      This week. The first two-minaret mosque (capitalize? Hell no.) in America.

      Ribbon-cutting by our Preezy and Erdogan, whose nation our waning Nation just ordered all Americans out of.

      Mary-Land.

      So symbolic for Islam. And this isn’t a mosque. It make the Kennedy Compound look like Deer Forest in Coloma, MI.

      It’s all about the Hijra. And the Jizya. And the Dawa. And the Taqiyya. And the Jihad.

      Five words whose real definitions nobody should be ignorant of, who wishes to live free.

      And yet most are.

      Erdogan is the one sending Jihad to Europe.

      And somehow he’s allowed in our country to open a mosque, with our Preezy.

      The guy who said “mosques are our barracks, the domes are our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, and the faithful our soldiers.” together, like Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, in a love song, opening a freakin’ mOSQUE.

      We have to stop it. And I think Trump might.

      I’m lying. I don’t think anyone will stop what faces us. It’s a gleaming Casey Jones train. gleaming. Learnin’ about that train is entertaining, while strapped to these tracks. All the minute details. Standard or metric for the bolts and nuts. What fuels it. How fast it’s travelling. Ain’t gonna stop it.

      I hope somebody encases a nice set of 64GB thumb-drives in epoxy and then in a few thousand years, archaeologists learn what happened to us.

        Ask your RL acquaintances.

        What do you know about those five words?

        “F**KING NOTHING” will be the number one answer.

        That’s bad news for all of us.

      Sickest story about Barky I’ve read, in his whole term.

      After all the Islam-horrific news from Europe.

      While he promises to bring in a lot more.

      And America Sleeps.
