COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Oh you found my laundry. Lol

That is your laundry??!

 

[CarolM]

Yes?

Maybe this is just a midwest thing but, when I picked up my new Russian they tell me her name is Lucy.
OK, this just won't work for me because I have a bird named Lucy and I'm not George Foreman so I don't want two kids with the same name.
I've spend some time trying to think of a new name, nothings coming to mind that fits.
This is really the first pet that I have ever had that I need to think of a name for, most everybody has come to me second hand and named by the previous owner.
So one day I'm showing off pictures of my new found 4" friend and someone being funny asks "what's she going to be when she grows up?"
The first thing that pops out of my mouth is "Booya". I find this hilarious and think I'm pretty clever. Then the person looks at me in horror and asks if I'm really going to raise this for food? To me this is even better than what I said.
Her name is now Booya, I call her Boo.

Welcome to the CDR, EdMurphy, Lucy, and...Boo!

It's okay I had chickens named dumpling, pot pie, and casserole LOL

“Had”, past tense?

Here are the pics. Got distracted by aphids on my rose bushes.
Don't know why they put "waste treatment" on it. Maybe they bought it from someone else...
We probably won't be able to start on it for about two weeks while getting stuff done in the house. In that time I'll sketch out some ideas and we will start ordering stuff.
Hubby also informed me that he bought some sheets of of lexan and nylon from an online surplus auction. He will pick it up on his way to work, should be able to make good use of it.
The very first thing will be to unbolt the "box" from the frame and give it a good sandblasting to get rid of the rust and then paint it... Wish the box height was a tad taller. Need to get official dimensions.
Alright, now I'm getting myself excited.
PS- I still have no power in my art room!

Hmm, as long as you change the sign...

 

[CarolM]

Yeah- whenever I talk about getting a duck pond, hubby wants to name them Gumbo, BBQ etc

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] why is it that men seem to have this kind of humour? I told hubby yesterday that we had all named the torts so he could choose the name for the new addition this time. So he says okay.. its name will be Hare. I give him this confused look and said 'Hare!!!?????' So his response was....yes you know 'The Tortoise and the Hare.[emoji85] [emoji85] so I called him Harry instead. Close enough.[emoji23][emoji23]

Omw. Poor chickens. They must have been living in fear and stressed if it was going to be their time everytime you called them.

 

[Bambam1989]

I’d need to see some pictures.
Is the wagon mobile? Your husband might still be planning to move some day...

One of the requirements that I had for the enclosure was that it needed wheels so I could move it if I needed to.
This even has a tow bar you can hook to a tractor. So I can fasten my riding mower to it if I need to. It can also be comfortably pulled by hand over flat ground.

 

[CarolM]

If he is he belongs to someone else now. I gave what was left of my chickens away to someone that had several chickens nearby. The dogs would never leave them alone and most causing quite a bit of trouble unfortunately. One day when I let them out to scratch around some Sparky killed a couple of them. After that I decided that as long as I had Sparky I could not have the chickens also.
On the bright side though I am going to renovate the chicken coop and turn it into more of a jumbo size rabbit hutch. That way it is still being used and what I have in there will be able to live in there comfortably without needed time outside of the enclosure.

Oh sweet. Just be careful you don't get overrun by rabbits.

The room does have a multi-dimensional property that we do not quite understand fully yet. For example have you noticed how the jellyfish are run on battery power, are living beings, and yet are somehow made out of edible jelly all at the same time? At first I thought it was some sort of leprechaun sorcery but as I have learned here in the CDR nothing is as it seems. It took a lot of time and effort I spent hours studying and then the lab dissecting one of the jellyfish. I have come to the conclusion they are multi-dimensional beings that somehow got trapped in this convergence of Dimensions we called the cold dark room. The ceiling has not been found because I believe there is no ceiling. As you proceed upward you just cross through an Infiniti of cross dimensional Rifts and in one of those threats the home of the dreaded wolf spider could exist. That is assuming that the wolf spider herself does exist. I still have much research to do and I may still be being fooled by a combination of leprechaun and wolf spider trickery it is hard to say has the results and data seem to shift and change for one time you look at them to another but I have faith that one day the truth will be known.

Edible jelly? So that’s who ate the jellyfish in my corner!!!
(I thought we only had to deal with a Wool Spider—if she exists, not some were-creature )

Tomorrow, April 28 here in the US, is hubby and my 17th wedding anniversary!! We've both been very busy, especially him, so I went ahead and made reservations at my favorite restaurant for tomorrow night. To be fair, he likes that restaurant a lot too. He has SEVERAL favorite restaurants, so this works. I also bought him a new bow tie that he'lll get as a surprise tomorrow night (He only wears bow ties and has a lot of fun with them.)
I wasn't expecting anything from him because he's been so busy- AND he'll be very busy tomorrow during the day- so I was happily surprised today when he brought me THESE:

Congrats!

 

[CarolM]

You should name them Huey Dewey and Louie. !!!

Whahaha. Well at least those names are better than food names.

 

[Bambam1989]

Why take it off the wheels. They would make it a mobile home for clunker.

It will be reassembled. But the rust on the frame has to be sandblasted off and repainted. Much easier to do without the box on top.

 

[CarolM]

And Arthur is after Arthur Dent of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy fame?

And here I thought it was from the round table !

 

[Kristoff]

Lol. Sounds like quite a chicken. Are you sure he is not actually a ghost chicken?

I was thinking the same! Might he have back to haunt you, Dan? @DE42

 

[CarolM]

Not for free, of course!

Oh darn it. I forgot that Adam taught him. [emoji848]

 

[Bambam1989]

Hmm, as long as you change the sign...

Hmm title it " The Clunker Wagon" instead?

Let me get this straight: You gave “what was left” of Dumpling and Casserole to your neighbor? Um, that’s nice of you...

 

[Kristoff]

Yes I decided to change it up a little bit and get a slightly more up-to-date picture.

Looking good!
