In order to keep my eggs clean, I line my laying boxes with shredded paper. I shred some of my own, and I occasionally bring home shreds from the office. Imagine my surprise when I went to gather eggs and found one egg with the name of my employer on it! I just had to get the picture ...

Needing to put about 300 feet of perforated drainage line below ground, Jim figured the easiest way would be to rent an excavator. Okay, maybe not the easiest way ... but certainly the most fun! Gotta love rental equipment ... it's not yours! :)

Wow, Erica in her McDonald's uniform. The job at the Kitsap County Courthouse just wasn't giving her enough hours to even cover her fuel costs. Would you like fries with that? :)

Most of you who view my photoblog already know this: Because I love toying with all the sex perverts on the Internet who use search engines to find sex, I like to intentionally bait them with words such as these: Here, my huge red cock has sex with a young teenage chicken ... blow, okay, you get the picture. I'm sure I'll get a zillion hits on this photo. In other words, Hurley does one of Lynn's hens. It doesn't get much better than this.

When one of our hens was killed by a fox or coyote (the jury is still out) I had to immediately build a fenced enclosure for the hens. Here is the new "Compound."

Well, we got this great new Rhode Island Red rooster ... I was gonna name him 'Woody' - (haha, wink wink, nudge nudge). But I ended up calling him "Hurley," after the character in my new book. Here, Hurley the Wonder Rooster flaps his wings as he makes his new home with six virgin hens...

Over the Fourth of July weekend, I successfully completed the engine installation on "Charlie Bug," the 1974 yellow classic VW Beetle. :) Now, to weld in new floorpans, as I had to remove most of the seats since there is nothing there to support them. Also pictured, the 1972 Beetle. I corrected an intermittent ignition problem with that car today, as well.

To celebrate the Fourth of July, we let our neighbors spend all their own money on fireworks. We watched them detonate their savings, while we fed some large bonfires on the property and had a spectacular night that ended up costing us nothing. :)

We have a huge bag of peanuts in our garage as we have a half dozen hungry squirrels on the property and squirrel feeders out along the perimeters. While rebuilding a motor today, I heard a noise behind me and caught this little chipmunk in the act of raiding the peanut stash! Good thing Churchie the Devil Cat was outside at the time. :)

On a fine Seattle-area Sunday afternoon, I spent some time building a scarecrow out by the crop circle to (hopefully) deter the deer and birds. We'll see how it works. Actually, from a distance, it's kind of convincing. Of course, close up, you see the head is a shovel. You know, a Fiskars shovel with a lifetime warranty that broke. Click to see a close up of the shovel head ... :)
