Commander Williams here. Asking everyone to bring their nose plugs and life jackets as my life forms have 2 pips this morning.
Tuna Boat has set Sail!!
Life-vest on and reporting for duty!
The question is did you remember your nose plugs. With the exploing eggs while at chickenstock, nose plugs are not optional!
Commander Williams
The Gen. Checking in...I am doing a flyover...I don't get on boats cause the spousal unit outranks me when I do.. LOL
Agent Tina is here and ready to cuddle.
Good reason, Dusty! Can you smell anything funky in the air?
Nope... I had my oxygen mask on.... :-P But I can see a thin yellow cloud over your vessel....You may need more than nose plugs... ;-)
Will a pesticide applicator's respirator work?
I'm not sure this is some bad stuff. But since we don't have smelivision. Ya'll ought to be all right.
Sheila
lmao
Sheila just a question here did you clean the bator after the explosion because i read somewhere don't remember where that if a egg explodes it was rotten and it exposes the eggs to germs and this could lead to infected navels in the chicks.
Commandah Moxon repording for dudy wif nose pwugs in. Vewwy difficuwt to tawk pwoperwy wif nose pwugs in. Sounds like I have a bad code in my nose. Accchoooooo. Oops, where did my nose plug go?

Harmony I did clean the bator as much as possible, without the eggs getting to chilled. I hope that was enough.

I just got home from picking up rocks all day at Daddy's farm. I would like to report checking the tuna boat and to my surprise finding a tiny cuckoo Maran doing the backstroke with a life jacket on.

Commander Moxon found her nose plugs under the large pile of tuna. They are somewhat slimy and nasty and she doesn't wish to use them any more. She will tolerate the smell. :-)

Crew members please note, Major Harmony is having delusions of grandeur and world takeover hallucinations. Be alert to this issue and prepare a strait jacket in case of need. She may start sprouting feathers, at which point we must remove her to Area 51. Of course, Area 51 is located in Iowa. Location to be disclosed on an as needed basis. Some cackling sounds have been heard from her immediate area. This may be related to her recent illness, and she may require rehabilitation into human parameters. Be extremely cautious in approaching her because she may have laid an egg. Wear protective clothing - she may peck at you. We must be diligent to return her to her normal state as Head Chicken Instructor as soon as possible.
CACKLE!! CACKLE!! CACKLE!!
