That's our luck too. We had three broody Cochins this spring that hatched out about a dozen chicks between them. We have eight left and they're doing good. Useless little things, but the wife and my 13-year old love them.

We have a little bantam Cochin rooster like. Old and useless, but the kids (and I) like him, so we keep him around. Don't get me started on that useless duck we kept...

Story of my life since we decided to "try" chickens 10 years ago. Looks good though!

Our Scout troop bought a couple SUPB last summer and the boys absolutely love them. Great times!

No snow in our fishing pics. It was about 80 degrees on the water by yesterday afternoon. Three generations fishing (Dad, me, my daughter). Caught a few good-eating walleye like this.

June 4-9.

We're putting in at Mineral Bottom and running all the way to the confluence with the Colorado. We'll be there for five days.

Interesting. My Scout troop is canoeing the Green River the first week of June. I need to put a thread here and ask you locals more about it.

That southeastern extension of new New Mexico might get me into some in-state hog hunting.

Hmm, they make them in 295/17, which I run on my 2006 Ram. Might have to give these a look next year when my Yokos are ready to be replaced.

Good potential there!

Helped my daughter replace the power steering pump in her little Dakota.

New Mexico's Organ Mountains at night.

I finished the installation of the Banks exhaust brake on my 2006 Ram today. Installed the vacuum pump and fan belt (not shown). I expected the fan belt to be the most difficult part, but it wasn't too bad. The installation of the switch was a pain! I wanted it on the dash up near the...

Started on the exhaust brake installation on my 2006 Cummins. I used this project as an excuse to replace the hood support struts that haven't worked for a couple years. Then I removed the stock post-turbo elbow and installed Banks replacement with actuator. Moved up to the engine...

A couple days ago our neighbor brought us about 25 pounds of tomatoes. That's way more than we could eat, so what's a good New Mexican to do? Make salsa of course!

I have both chicken wire and 1/2"x1" hardware cloth in my installations. I prefer the hardware cloth because it's easier to work with, easier to replace if you need to, and looks/ages better. If you can access the full interior to get eggs, clean, retrieve dead chickens (they're just looking for...

Oh no, we don't eat that many! We sell as many as possible; my youngest daughter runs the egg project as a fundraiser for her 8th grade trip coming next May. When we get a surplus, we may give them away. If they get too old, we scramble them with shells and feed them back to the chickens. Dogs...

Not copper, but yes. Those real dark eggs are from marans. The egg on the lower right is from our duck, "Reliable." She lays an egg every day, sometimes two.

The haul from today. Probably a few from yesterday afternoon since the kid picked up right after school.
