NIGEL:
Sunday morning I am up drearily heading to meet my mate Spock (he has incredible hearing capabilities although his ears are quite average in size) & do a road ride & lunch before he gets hitched. As I am readying the phone rings & its a call from the PO Receive/Deliver Depot in Hickory (about 1 hr away) saying that our chicks have arrived if we want get them!? I asked if they would get water etc. (having no idea what functions the box in which they would arrive had). No. So we quickly dressed & I frantically started nmaking a brooding box out of two cardboard boxes (see photos).
Yep I used duct (duck as some like to say) tape!! We had food & tons of water. We typed in the address of the PO place, as stated by the caller, into Lee (our Aussie accented GPS) only to find that no such location existed! Susan calls back to discover that the PO employee wasn't sure of which town she was located.
The PO staff don't know thier own address???
Once the actual address was settled we were off. I was very excited.... Susan, being sick still, was ho hum & having hot flushes.
Hey, you can see the remnants of the dog bite in the 2nd photo... of my thigh..
