Common Question: Do your chickens have names?
Are you kidding me? My chickens have first names, last names, nicknames, origin stories, best friends, and a Primary Care Physician. They celebrate birthdays, holidays, funerals and happy hour. These chickens do tricks, play games and organize missions. They have a custom coop and can recommend a carpenter. I’m pretty sure they had Uber Eats bring them a snack last night. They also lay eggs.
What does your human kid do?

The Unimog is plated and ready to hold up traffic. I did about 35 miles running around this afternoon. GPS max speed was 52 down a good hill but it’s pretty fun to just cruise around in. #unimog #mercedesbenz #mercedes #unimog404

Spent the afternoon finishing up this 3×5 welding table and various fixtures from certiflat. Should be a great new place for stuff to accumulate in my shop… #welding #fixturetable #certiflat #tigwelding #migwelding #fabrication #metalworking

The face of evil.
Sonia Sotomayor is my one year old #Silkie rooster that is a polarizing figure in my flock.
Sonia has recently started sleeping in a nesting box instead of his traditional position on the highest roost. What’s up with that? I know silkies are notoriously broody but the rooster too? Maybe it’s the feminine name? Too bad! He was supposed to be a girl!
She hates Violet, Donna and my mother. She loves Ruthie, Wilga and Glo. Fairly neutral on the other hens. Not a fan of me but knows I am at the top of the pecking order. She used to have a mohawk but seems to have lost it to an aggressive hen. Ha ha.
The crowing is too loud and too often but not enough to be banished. Roosters. Eh.

This crabby guy keeps moving his web closer and closer to my path to the coop. I assume he is beneficial so I’m letting it go for now but one more foot to the left and he’s getting relocated.

If you leave green peppers on the plant they will eventually turn colors. Then rot. I seem to miss the small gap in between colors and rot every single time.

New project. 1963 Mercedes Unimog. It’s a troop carrier built for the Swiss army. With about 70hp it isn’t getting anywhere fast but I have a few ideas on how to make that a bit better. #unimog #unimog404 #mercedesbenz #mercedes #sprintervan #sprinter3500

I love a good cloud show.

Hanging out at my parents place before heading to Chicago on Sunday for IMTS. I’m typically here in the winter so good to see their vineyard and garden in season.

Very effective circular snacking today. There is some bonus crowing if you turn up the volume. All of my chickens are missing some head or neck feathers. The pecking order has consequences around here!

Very poor effort on the circular snack wheel. You can do better chickens!

Just a minute of pretty grasses waving in the wind. Yea, I touched them and they are really soft.
