Just managed to pick up another bag of the Roudybush crumbles and 3 of the rope perches in 3 different sizes, to be swapped out as fancy dictates, this bank card draining trip was sponsored by our very own Laurasea! They weren't too thrilled at the outset, but they are currently crawling and nibbling on them as though it is the only perch they have ever had.
Great!!!! Now if only they would chomp on those leafy green!!! What are you cooking tonight? I'm so beyond impressed that cook your own food on the road!!
Tonight is just soup and sammiches, can't get too caught up, sitting on the west side of Chicago waiting for a union run joint to get around to loading me, another one of these "we will make you wait until we feel like it and pay you nothing" kind of joints, but you bet your butt if I was to set up and try to cook they'd want me in there immediately, best part is the city comes through and writes us tickets sometimes because we aren't supposed to park here, but we can't leave until loaded, real gem of a shipper lemme tell ya.
As to leafy greens? I think I need to find a food processor or something to chop up bits real fine, they just don't dig big hacked up leaves, they eat everything I give them as long as it's manageable size for them, never had a tough time with chop, or changing pellets, they don't fear new toys very long, about 5 minutes, same with perches, yanked the dowel out, installed 2 of the ropes, and five minutes later, no problem...must be my just desserts for going bald at 19 and having Satan and his chief demon for step kids...I got good fids lol.
I think the best meal I ever cooked me and a few guys leased to my company all got stuck for Thanksgiving near Sturgis SD, and they were bumming hard that we weren't going to get a good turkey supper, so I made a turkey, brussel sprouts, homemade stuffing, and sweet potatoes on the truck, picked up a veggie platter, a case of beer and some rolls/cranberry sauce and we all watched the Cowboys beat up the Redskins having a blast on the end of the flatbed, was a pretty good time for being stuck in the middle of nowhere.
so you can imagine how long ago that was. Wally was very young,and a beautiful sky blue with white/grey on his back. It took me less than a week to have him finger trained. He turned into the funniest,friendliest,goofiest little guy.
Luckily it was garbled but if you knew what he was trying to say you'd understand! Mom would say "oh isn't that cute...he's trying to say something"
Luckily for me,she didn't get it lol.
