Got to go to work

I was hoping to put up a good post today about the new chickens that are in the process of hatching.  Instead I have to pack them up, and the grand kids, and take them over to oldest daughters house for a few days.  I have to go to work. Finally got some overtime scheduled that will pay me.  I don't mind the normal overtime but not getting paid for it gets old.  At least this time I will get paid for ruining my weekend. 

When I got called they asked when I'd be leaving.  Thinking my normal prep time, I said 30 minutes.  The person on the phone said that's awful quick and not very safe.  I didn't feel like reminding this person that in exchange for keeping my truck at home I'm supposed to be ready to leave in three minutes.  Three, so I thought 30 was being generous.  Since I was told to go slower, after all, I don't need to be there until early morning...and it's a 300+ mile drive, fine.  I'll stay home for a little while and water everything really well.  That way I don't have to rely on the neighbor as much. 

The incubator is packed.  All I need to do is find the cat so I can lock him in the house.  Then I'll be out of here.  I don't know if I'll be posting while I'm gone.  It depends if I work 12 or 16 hour days.  If it's 16, then I probably won't.  Probably will be gone for four days.  That's just right to make some money and start missing home.

    1. Certainly. Will be drinking plenty of water since it's supposed to be way over 100 and no shade anywhere in sight.

  3. Good for you getting the PAID OT! Hot and icky here. Fires just west of us...started small, getting bigger...rumor is arson. I have the "help" watering and taking care of the animals and I'm heading to the cabin east of here...need to get out of the heat and do some canning. Take Care: and be safe.

    1. All the OT goes to the grandkids daycamp. None for me. Oh well, I work - they play. Glad you got the grounds around the cabin taken care of so it will be less of a worry if there are more arsonists running around.
