Silt Fencing and Fighting Chickens

--Finally got enough digging done down the hill to put silt fencing up,
--Now that the rain has stopped.
--The scraggliest of my 2 Comets is the most aggressive towards my 2 Reds;
--Mostly chasing, not too much actual fighting.
--Finally the Reds used the roost on their own last night.
--A new twist, one Red now picking on other.
--Blames her for the Comets picking on them, eh?
--Tomorrow, Prairie du Chien again...

 

EZ-Pass and PrePass

On my seat this morning, one for tolls and other for scales.
--The Illinois unit GM (General Manager) on Friday said I didn't need it;
--Was enough for Yard Boss to say, 'You're getting it.'
--Got both, in fact.
--Ran I-74 straight out, then up Hwy 61 to Dubuque.
--Only the one scale open, no green light on the PrePass;
--Green light across the scale, though.
It's all good. I'll take it. Loading now in Prairie du Chien.

 

Good evening to Terrible_Driver! With a sense of humor... I'm sure.
