How's your coop going?
Good! Everyone is dealing with the cold fine, and I think everything is set for when it starts getting really cold.
I could probably introduce my newest birds to the rest of them, but I'll have to keep the coop shut a lot and I don't want them fighting over space.

Oh, and guinea fowl are pretty notorious for being hard to "coop train" (go back in on their own at night), but i think since I raised them with chicks they picked up the behavior. They're always in bed just before sundown.

My goose is less of an asshole also, xhe lets me pet xer now
 
Just had an awesome rainy night drive, now I'm back home and practicing guitar for the next few hours.
Only been 3 days since i started, but I'm getting better quickly. I still have problems with my fingers accidentally muting the string below it, but i think that will go away once i get calluses.
I've been having fun making little songs that don't need chords tho.
I might start a guitar journal soon, where I'll post recordings of exercises for feedback and eventually post random "songs" i make

Also,my two flocks have been somewhat getting along. The biggest problem was that my goose would go for the heads of the chickens she didn't grow up with, which i figured could lead to her snapping their necks.
Today, i had all of them in one coop, and the goose barely even pecked at them. I hope they can sleep in one coop soon, I'm so fucking tired of having to feed and water two separate coops in freezing temperatures
 
Pretty good day so far.
I had to help my uncle haul and unload a three-wheeler, then went to lunch with him and my grandma.
It's warm enough to fill my duck pool, so they're out enjoying their baths before it drops to 20°F tomorrow.
I was so excited for above freezing temps. I filled all of my bird waterers yesterday so I don't have to bother today. Feels good after having to swap water for ice every day.

I'm getting pretty good at guitar, also. I haven't bothered with learning any songs, but I've been learning chords and transitions like they're nothing. I need to get on myself about practicing more, since I'm not itching to do it like I was at first.

I guess that's it for now. I'm flying to Arizona soon, so I'm just getting ready for that. I have to make taking care of the birds a little easier since my dad is going to be stuck doing it for a week.
 
I've been getting ready for a trip to Arizona with my Mom (for my cousin's wedding) but I just found out that we have time to visit the Grand Canyon. I'm so fucking hyped, can't wait to see it. My brother and dad went there last month, and even just seeing it through pictures was mind-blowing. Not sure if we'll do much hiking, since my Mom has a bad foot, but fuck, I'm fine just fine standing there and looking at it

I heard they've got some really cool fossils of pre cambrian stuff so keep an eye open for that
 
Could hardly sleep all night, and when I finally did fall asleep, I had a dream that I was trying to fall asleep on my couch (unsuccessfully). Easily the most disappointing "sleep" of my life.
I'm gonna let my sleep schedule go to shit, since I'm going to be flying in a couple days anyway, early in the morning.
Bringing some sherlock holmes books that I got for Christmas, and season 4 of Better Call Saul, which I'm now realizing is overkill even if I'm awake the whole time. Maybe I'll try staying online at the hotel and just read.
I'll probably still use the site while I'm gone, but I'm going to handle any blogposting in an actual journal while I'm away, then updating a while after I get home so some SLF doesn't call a bomb threat on my airport while I'm there.

Bit of a ramble, I'm just drinking coffee waiting to go to my mom's, so I just wanted to sperg out a bit. I will probably repack my bags 20 times between now and my flight. I'm not so nervous about the plane, I just don't want to be a mess at the airport or forget something important.
I'm actually pretty excited, it's my first flight, so I get to cuck my family out of the window seat.
 
I finally interacted with a real jew (greasy sideburns and everything).
I was sitting at a gift shop at the grand canyon, and he came up without any sort of greeting and just asked where the nearest bathroom was. He was upset that I didn't realize he was talking to me.
He asked again, I apologized and pointed him to the restroom.
He scoffed at me, and then asked "that's the nearest??" (like an asshole). I said yes, and apologized again (evendoe it's not my fault).
He huffed, and walked towards them without saying thank you.
I am antisemitic again.
 
My chickens pretty much just leave their run and walk around the yard now. My dog doesn't even fuck with them, I think he's actually afraid of them lmao.
All is well. I did some work out there Friday, but it's cold as shit now.
Oh, and I bought a trench coat. It's so over for innocent strangers that have never wronged me (joke)
 
This bitch loves me. Get bent, @Steve.

Looking like yesterday was the last day where the high temps are going below freezing. I'm finally done running chicken water back and forth all day. I can start using the hose again and give my ducks their pool back. Fucking finally.
Still a month away from starting the garden THOUGH but at least I can comfortably stay outside for more than 15 minutes and start working on the area.
