Go out with some friends, win prizes.

We have made some new friends, which is great on many levels. They are older than us. The wife informed me her youngest daughter was older than me. It's all good, we like them.

We went to their home and had a few beers, which led to shots, which led to us staying over. The boys couldn't compline as they got to watch tv, which they haven't seen in almost a year. 

When I woke the next morning, I had four hens and a rooster waiting to go home with me! A neighbor was moving and couldn't take his spring birds. The area is littered with pit bulls and owners saying they would gladly take the birds, their dogs would love playing with them. When the owner found out we had some acreage and homestead, he put all five birds, the ground cage, the feeders and waters and a carrier in our truck.
