Rough Travel Day Yesterday.

I had a very um.....interesting day yesterday! I thought I would share my experience with you all.

It all started when I got off work at 8:00pm from work. The rain and ice had started coming down around 4:30pm. Then the news started reporting many accidents, esp. on the overpasses. I was really hoping that they would let us off early so we could avoid the worse weather....no such luck. On a usual day it only takes me about 30 minutes to get home, if that. I only have two different ways to get home, one is taking all the major highways and the other is to take all the back roads. On a day when the weather is bad I always take the highways just to avoid the slick back roads.

I had decided that I would take the highway even though the overpasses were still closed due to accidents. It would probably not be very bad on the highway......RIGHT! I get off work and headed to the gas station, since I was running on fumes. I put 5 dollars in which gave me 4.4 gallons....lol. I about fell on my but just filling up with gas, the concrete was so slick! I have never really experienced Icy road conditions since I am still a new driver.

I managed to merge onto the highway doing about 20mph. About three cars in front of me a driver looses control of his car and ends up nose firs on the side of the embankment. He was not getting out of that. So I started slowing down, finally realizing the roads were nothing more than a sheet of ice! I fishtailed a could of times, but managed to keep the car under control, when I came to a stop behind a very long line of cars.

I sat in that line for about 2 and a half hours, moving little to none. Turns out there was another accident on the overpass so there was no getting through. I ended up turning my car off and sitting there waiting, it was not fun! I was hungry, I also really needed to use the restroom.....lol.

I finally got moving around 10:50pm. Although the traffic was still heavy the roads were not as bad as they were earlier. So I managed a steady speed of 40mph on the highway. I finally made it into the driveway around 11:15pm. Safe and sound...thank the Lord!

This is buy far the most stress full driving situation I have ever been in, but I was a good learning experience!

Tools and Their Uses

Tools and their uses

If only I couldn't relate

DRILL PRESS:
A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat
metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and
flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project
which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and

Angora Bunnies!

I don't know If I have mentioned it or not. I think I did. Well, anyways.....we have English Angora Rabbits. There not mine but my moms, and she has a pair. I don't have a picture of the female but here is a picture of our male. He is the most friendly and softest rabbit I have ever seen! I can't wait till spring when I can see them in their full fur.

I plan on doing a post tomorrow with a lot of pictures from around the farm. I hope to get some good pictures to add to the website to update it a little. I think its time for some new pictures.

For Comparison.

I have here three pictures of the White Leghorn Cock in the post below. This is just to compare how the tail length has got longer over the last three years.

One Year Old


Two Years Old


Three Years Old

As you can probably tell, I'm very interested in this bird. I will be keep close watch on the total length. I plan to measure the length of the main sickles this year once he has finished out his molt. Then I am going to measure the length of the main sickles after spring molt to see if they get any longer.

White Leghorn........Pheonix????

Hey everyone, I have an interesting blog today. I have a two, almost three year old SC White Leghorn Bantam Cock. I have used him the past two years in my breeding pens, and was planning on using him this year also. Well, he molted started molting around the end of September. I didn't start noticing anything unusual until about Thanksgiving. I started to notice that his tail feathers were beginning to drag the ground. I though maybe they were just wet or dirty making them heave and drag the ground. But when I started looking over the bird he was quite clean. I also examined the shafts of the main sickle feathers and notice that they were still blood feathers! Meaning they are still growing. This is very unusual, and I don't know when they will stop. He is going on three months since his molt. I find this very interesting since he has never had this same feature in the past years molts. I have some pictures here of the bird, and I tried to show the length. I will also try and get some pictures of the shafts to show how they are still growing.

Here is a picture of the same bird at one year old.

You can see his full son in the background at 10 months old. He dosen't have very long sickle feathers either.

So If anyone has any clues as to why this is happening let me know. I am very curios to see how long they will actually grow!

First Day of Work!

Well, ya'll. I had my first day of work today. I got a part time job at a local Library branch as a front desk clerk. I have been unemployed since October of last year, so having a paycheck again is going to be really nice.

They day went by very slowly, with a lot of training and paperwork. Surprisingly, it's not a difficult job, just a lot of technical terms to memorize, and a lot of policy information to memorize. It will be an easy job, compared to my last job, when I get settled in real good. So, as of right know, I am employed.....lol.

As for the chickens. The are all doing good, a few frostbit combs but otherwise healthy. I had to move my breeder cocks into my hen barn in order to keep them warm. The Breeder barrels just weren't going to be warm enough for this year. I have winterized all but one of the coops so everyone is staying nice and warm. I am getting about 10-12 eggs a day, which in the winter is very good. My moms big Langshans are giving about 1-3 eggs every other day in a flock of about 8, so right know my chickens are producing the eggs we eat....lol. I'm already getting close to working on my breeding pairs, and getting the breeding barrels ready. I still have to buy a new incubator for the year, waiting for my first paycheck....HEHE! I plan on doing a fairly big hatch next year, about 50-80 Leghorns and 30-40 Dutch. Due to the loose of our main Silkie breeding cock, we will have to hold off on the Silkies for beginning of the year.

The goats are also doing very good this year. They are handling the winter very well, due to the fact they are slightly fat.....! (Notice the slight sarcasm there!) We breed two of our does this year, and so far we think they are both pregnant. We really won't know for sure if they are until about January or Feb. Most likely we will be selling everything this year from our does. So keep a close watch out on the sale listing next spring.

Well, I will try and keep you all posted on any new happenings. Until then.....Later!

Twin Chickens!

Hey all. I found this video on Youtube the other day and thought it was interesting. They are a little long but worth watching! These are not my videos.

This is the second video.

Ohio National, November 8-9, 2008

Well, the Ohio National was a great show, with over 5,300 birds and 440 exhibitors! I had a blast, I got to talk to all my chicken friends and make some new ones. I also look some pictures, sorry about the quality, my camera is a pain in the you know what. All the pictures are mixed up, Blogger is bad about arranging the photos, it takes forever. Well, hope you all enjoy and if you know of the names of some of the exhibitors pictured here let me know so I can add them to the photos.

God Bless American and It's People!

This is for the Christian Americans

I'm writing this for all Christian Americans who plan to vote in this yeas election. I'm not going to judge anyone or put anyone down about there decision. The decision you make is yours, and yours alone. I just want to put into perspective for everyone, what America has become and what is should still stand for. I know that just about everyone is sick and tired of this election and doesn't want to read or hear any more about it. I understand this, and I couldn't agree more. I just wanted to say this, before the election is over so that I know I have tried to open the hearts and minds of the Christian Americans living and voting in this election.

It has been many, many years since we have had a president that would stand up for the rights, and beliefs of America. Every president has had his mistakes, that has offended one side or the other. You can't please everyone, but the difference's is what makes America what it is. I get tired of people, saying they aren't voting for one party or another due to what the previous president and his party has done. The political parties have nothing to do with the personal beliefs and standings of a person. For instance, say I'm in party A and my best friend is in party B. Party A believes in eating only chicken, while party B believes in only eating beef. OK, now say, party "Member" A decides he likes to eat both beef and chicken, and the same with party "Member" B. They both can still be part of their political party but they can have their own personal beliefs that have nothing to do with what their party stands for. So many people or voting based on the candidates political party and not even paying attention to that persons personal beliefs and standings. I'm saying that before you make your decision on who your voting for, look deep into that persons beliefs. What does this person believe in, is he or she a Christian believer, devoted to the word of God and willing to stand up for Christian Americans? Does this person have a good political record, standing up for Christians? Such as being Pro-Life, Ant-Gay Rights, Pro-Constitution? These are things you should look at beyond the "political party" their associated with. I know that many of you are extremely devoted to your political party, and will vote for only that party. I'm simply asking you, as a Christian American to take a few minutes to do some research into the party candidates personal beliefs.

What America is know, is not what it was 100 years ago. Americans have become lazy and submissive, instead of standing up and defending their rights. When our ancestors came to searching for a new land. Why did we come searching for this new land? All though they had different beliefs, they all one thing in common. They all wanted Freedom! They wanted a place were they could live without tyranny or oppression from a tyrannical government. These people fought and died to give us the greatest gift a country can have. Freedom! The right to Free Speech, the right to Bear Arms, the Right to Religion, all established under the United States Constitution. The Constitution was the most important document of its time and was signed by good upstanding Christians. Unfortunately, the Constitution has become no more than a piece of paper. Politicians manipulate it to make it how they want it to be. Many people have forgotten or just don't know, what the Constitution stands for. We as Christian Americans have failed to uphold what we have fought so hard to obtain and sustain for our future children. What future is their know for the children of America? With the mess we have created and are creating, how are they to live with our gift of Freedom, if we don't act now. I'm asking that you also look into each political candidates standing here. Looking beyond the political party, what is the standing of the candidate when it comes to the Constitution? Do they uphold the Rights given to us according to the Constitution?

It can be hard sometimes, to really see what a candidate really stands for. They twist and contort words to make them sound truly better than they actually are. This is the problem with politicians, they can make the people believe what they want them to believe simply with manipulation of words. In order to understand what they really believe in, you have to look past the "Media", the "Press, the "Political Party" and look deep into that persons affairs, both present and past. Its our right as Christian Americans to know the truth, and although the truth can be hard to find, It can be found. I know many people that have looked deeper into a candidates standings, and it has changed their understanding of that person. If you will, just take a few minutes to look beyond all this political nonsense, deep into the candidates beliefs and standings.

No matter what decision you make, you will now know for sure who you are voting for and what he or she really stands for. I pray for everyone that they make the right decision on who should be next to lead our great country. Remember the future of America is in your hands.

I promise that this is my last political blog until the elections are over. I have done what I can to help open the eyes of my fellow Americans. The rest is in God's hands.

The Night Before Election

The Night before Election ...

'Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap

Had cut off the TV

Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden

There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys.

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink.

He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!

On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi'
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

Ohio National Updates!

I just recieved some information concerning the Ohio National Poultry Show.

The final count is 5,300 birds!
700 Call Ducks
1,250 Large Fowl
200 Geese

This is amazing! That is a lot of birds, esp. the call ducks! I am sooooooo excited already, I just hope that it is not going to be to cold. I hate washing birds in the cold, even in the workshop. But anyways, I look forward to seeing everyone there!

SC White Leghorns

I took some pictures of my favorite SC White Leghorn Bantam Pullet. I thought I would share them with you wall. She will be going to the Ohio National this fall!

Here is short video clip also.

Error

I have made an Error in my previous post title, "Senetor Obama on Meet the Press". Turns out that this article I received was not true. I have received sever e-mails concerning this article and I have found that the statement is false.

Snopes

This is the website that I found my information on.

It was my fault, I should have verified the authenticity of this article. In the future I will include a verified link to the authenticity of a post.

I am sorry to cause any confusion and trouble. I appreciate anyone to let me know if there is an error in my blog. I only want to share the truth and not confuse the delicate political situation.

Thank You to all that helped me identify this error.

A newscast from a future we must never see

Posted: October 20, 2008
11:52 pm Eastern

© 2008

This week, I decided to do something different – my column is in video form. It's a newscast from a future we must make sure we never see. In it, you'll get a glimpse into our nation should Barack Obama be elected president – complete with the kinds of people he'll appoint and policies he'll enact based on Sen. Obama's real promises, positions, record and advisers. It would be comical if it weren't so scary. It is an eye-opening look at what the future could hold if we don't do everything we can to prevent it.

I encourage you to watch it (rather than read it) and forward it to everyone you know in an effort to sound the alarm before it's too late … or the news we watch next January will look something like this:

It's January 22, 2009, for 911 News, I'm Janet Porter. Two days after the inauguration of Barack Obama as president, the Middle Eastern reaction is the same. (VIDEO: TERRORISTS DANCING IN THE STREETS.) Obama campaign supporters from al-Qaida to Hamas to Hezbollah, to Islamic Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood, continue to dance in the streets.

The "Death to America Coalition" released a statement: "We have not celebrated like this since 9/11!"

President Obama thanked campaign contributor William Ayers by appointing him as director of Homeland Security. Ayers, who bombed the Pentagon, and after 9/11 said he wished he could have done more, in a statement released today, said, "Now I can."

President Obama's close friend, mentor and pastor of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, accepted the appointment to oversee the president's Faith Based Initiative program with the condition he would quit calling for God to damn America in public.

Obama made good on his long-held campaign promise dating back to 1996, when he told the "Independent voters of Illinois" he would outlaw all handguns. Reiterating his words on the campaign trail, Obama told gun owners to "quit being bitter and clinging to the Second Amendment of the Constitution."

President Obama followed through on his campaign promise to sign the "Freedom of Choice Act" as his first act in office. (VIDEO FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD SPEECH MAKING PROMISE.) This effectively wipes out every pro-life law from parental notice to every ban on partial-birth abortion in all 50 states.

• NICKIE NAEVE, 14 year old: "Now that Obama's president, I can get an abortion and mom or dad will never ever know!"
• SANDY SLAUGHTER from KTAI (Kill Them All International): "You just worked 36 years for nothing! When Obama won we won! Ha!"

The only thing left of the abortion agenda not yet accomplished is the forced abortion policy of China.

It's been said the ACORN doesn't fall far from the tree, and with a message of gratitude for all their hard work in the elections, President Obama increased federal funding in his budget for the group best known for voting fraud. Senators were warned by ACORN if they voted against their increase in taxpayer funds, they would suffer an enormous backlash from deceased voters in their districts.

Obama said he misspoke when he referred to his health care plan as "socialized medicine," saying, "The term 'socialism' has been given a bad rap," and returned to the discussion of "government takeover of health care" and the fines for those who won't submit.

First lady Michelle Obama spent the day reading from her favorite books to elementary school children.

MICHELLE OBAMA READING TO CHILDREN: "Mr. Ayers knew America was a bad country so he and his lovely wife formed a club called 'The Weather Underground.' (To children) Can you say 'Weather Underground'?"

CHILDREN REPEAT: "Weather Underground."

MICHELLE: "They took action and stood up for what they believed (turning children's book page) in the Pentagon …"

CHILDREN: "Ka-Boom!"

JOHNNIE RAISES HIS HAND: "Mrs. Obama? Did Mr. Ayers ever say he was sorry for blowing up the Pentagon?"

MICHELLE: "No, but nobody really cares about that. Let's move to our next book, "Heather and Her Two Mommies aren't Proud of their Imperialist Country.'"

President Obama appointed his economic adviser and the former CEO of Fannie Mae, Franklin Raines, as secretary of the treasury this week. Raines took office and promised to do for the American economy what he did for the housing industry. Referring to his campaign contribution to Obama's campaign, Raines was reported to have said, "That was the best $126,000 we ever spent."

As Senator John McCain predicted, the Russian aggression has moved to the Ukraine. Russian tanks rolled in and soldiers began to burn homes, schools and hospitals this morning. President Obama's immediate reaction was, once again, "We're not sure who's at fault, but this administration stands firm on the principle that we should all get along."

After he had time to talk to his 300 foreign affairs advisers, President Obama's official statement was: "Present!"

As was predicted, successful small businesses and job-providing corporations are closing their doors and moving overseas to escape the enormous tax hikes the Obama administration has imposed in an effort to use them to redistribute or "spread" the wealth. Another victim of this administration's class warfare is Joe the Plumber, who was made famous during the final presidential debate, who is moving from his beloved Holland, Ohio, to Holland. He said they're socialists too, but at least they're honest about it.

President Obama responded, "That's OK, I'll get him with the global tax I tried to pass in the Senate."

The Osama bin Laden video released yesterday has been shown to be authentic.

OSAMA speaks in Arabic.

TRANSLATOR: I am looking forward to meeting with President Barack Obama without preconditions to negotiate our demands of "submit or die." We have much in common: the same supporters, the same allies and we both have friends who blew up the Pentagon.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Tony Rezko today said he was grateful for the presidential pardon that released him from prison and said he looked forward to serving at HUD. He was happy to have even more tax dollars at his disposal than Obama was able to deliver him in the Senate.

Leader of the "Nation of Islam," Louis Farrakhan who, during the campaign, referred to Barack Obama as the "Messiah" and received an award from President Obama's church, today received another honor from the president, who asked him to be the keynote speaker at the Presidential Prayer Breakfast. Attendees were reportedly told to face east.

Farrakhan called for the loud siren signaling the Muslim call to prayer heard in Muslim Countries (and in Michigan) to be sounded in the capital five times a day. Not surprisingly, President Obama repeated the words he said in a February 27, 2007, interview with the New York Times that this call to allegiance to Allah as the "one true god" was "one of the prettiest sounds on earth."

Despite the rise in oil prices and the cry for offshore drilling, President Obama has once again appeased the environmentalists, saying he will not drill. The reaction from the Middle Eastern oil suppliers was as expected.

As promised, President Obama also overturned the Defense of Marriage Act, which was signed by President Bill Clinton. This is sure to spread homosexual marriage not just in Massachusetts, California and Connecticut, but to states like Pennsylvania, Florida and Colorado. President Obama, as he said during the campaign, opposes any efforts to protect marriage by state amendment. He also made good on his campaign promise to use the bully pulpit of the White House to place vulnerable orphan children in the homes of homosexual activists who demanded it during their Gay Pride Parade.

Conservative talk radio just became a thing of the past with President Obama answering the Democrat Congress' call for a gag rule on Rush Limbaugh, conservative and Christian talk radio. With the so-called Fairness Doctrine heading to his desk, Obama vowed to use the FCC to further tighten what used to be referred to as the freedom of speech.

And now the Obama administration is reaching the arm of censorship beyond radio into the television airwaves, starting with new … SCREEN TO SNOW.

Voice over: Help save Western Civilization. Vote McCain/Palin.

Sound The Alarm Now

I think everyone should watch this video!



I really hope, that Americans open there eyes before its to late!

Broke!

Yes, I am broke now.....LOL

Swap meet was a very big success. Buy noon Saturday, I had sold all the roosters I took to sell. It was so crowded by noon that it was very difficult to get to the different booths. But otherwise it was a really nice turn out.

I bought a Blue Leghorn Pullet, for my Black and Blue Leghorn breeding program. She is perfect and just what I was looking for. I only paid $5.00 for her, so that was a plus to.

I also bought a pair of Brd. Buff Silkies for mom. She had been looking for some Buff silkies and I found some nice birds (Unusual for Swap Meet). They are not show quality, but they definetly are breeder quality. It looks like we will have a nice flock of silkies come next spring.

My mom also bough a pair of English Angora Rabbits, for her Spinning venture. She got a four year old blonde doe and a year old tortis shell buck. They are so soft!!!! Mom is hoping to start spinning and making clothing here very soon. I have already ordered a scarf and a pair of socks! We will also be breeding them to sell at the Swap Meets and rabbit shows.

So needless to say between me and mom we are now broke! But it was really worth it to get some good birds. I plan on getting some pictures up sometime today or tomorow of all the new aditions.

Swap Meet

Well, I just wanted to post a short note on the Swap Meet.

I just got back from the Swap Meet, while all the venders and sellers were not yet set up, its is a very nice turn out. There are a lot of Rabbits, and Ducks. Not so many chickens, mostly everyone's extra cockerels.......(Me too!)...;-) There are quite a few puppies, goats, Llamas, horses.....ect. Even some skunks???? Yea, don't ask!....lol

If you plan on coming out, I would recommend getting their early, as the lines are going to be long and you are going to have to park a mile away. Also the fee to park is $5.00, so keep that in mind when attending.

Good Luck everyone!

Southern Ohio Poultry Association, Fall Swap Meet 2008

Hey everyone.

Its time for the Lucasville Swap Meet again, October 11th and 12th. It looks like it is going to be a very nice weekend.

Saturday Oct. 11th. Partly Sunny and Nice. High of 83°F, Low of 57°F.
Sunday Oct. 12th. Mostly Sunny and Very Warm. High of 81°F, Low of 58°F.

So if you are planning on coming out, looks like it is going to a very good Swap. I would recommend getting their early, as good weather tends to bring out a very large crowd come noon.

I will be selling there in the poultry building, some extra roosters.

Senator Obama on "Meet the Press"!

I couldn't belive this when I read it! This really makes me mad! I want to share this with everyone, so that the world knows the truth. May God bless this country and give the people the wisdom to do the right thing in this years election!

From Sunday's Televised 'Meet the Press' Senator Obama was asked

about his stance on the American Flag. Obama Explains National Anthem Stance

Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama
to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

The General also stated to the Senator that according to the United States Code,

Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very least, 'Stand and Face It'

Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, 'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.'We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from
disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disre spects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine'. Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America.


WHAAAAAAAT the Hell !!!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be our next President.

I, for one, am speechless.



Dale Lindsborg,

The Blog

Hey Ya'll!

Just some more news on the blog. I have added a couple new elements to the blog. Its not done yet, I would love to hear your feedback on what you think would be good to add to the blog. I am thinking of adding a photo album, and a video album. I don't want to have so many pictures on the main blog that it takes two hours to load. So I though a photo album would be faster.

I will also be taking reservations for birds starting in January. I will be breeding SC White Leghorn, Cream Light Brown and Light Brown Dutch bantams, Brd. Splash and Blue Silkies. If your are interesting in purchasing some birds for this coming spring just let me know early.

I will be at the Ohio National show in November and look forward to seing everyone there! Its going to be a very good show, with the Brown Leghorn Nationals.

If anyone knows of where I can get ahold of some SC Black Leghron Bantams please let me know. I have a male and would like two females to start working with the blacks.

Till Next Time!
