Good morning Eggheads and those who think Egg'n is just a bunch 'a bologna. Well it IS a bunch 'a bologna! And ribs, and brisket, and chicken, and fish, and cheese, and vegetables, and pizza, and a zillion other tasty items. So put THAT in your Egg and smoke it!!!

The plumbing alert went off early, an indication that my preventive maintenance program didn't work as well as expected. But even though I was not fully charged I was able to get to the maintenance facility in sufficient time to activate the control lever. Another Wheeeee moment in an otherwise boring dark period.

Then off to check the refrigeration illuminator. It is working fine and the chilled contents were unthreatened by heat. I spied a couple of temptations but decided against snacking on them. "Snacking!!!" Now that's a word and a half for you. Wonder where it came from? (Look Look Look) Ah Haaaaa! "A light meal." Now I'm REALLY confused. I thought the light in the refrigeration unit was a device to help see stuff. Now I learn that it is a meal in itself... "Light meal." This is one very unusual planet. I think I'll pass on the Light snack.

A quick glance out the observation portal toward the Coop quickly told me something was amiss. The additional security lights I so expertly and patiently installed during the light period were not functioning. This is not a good thing. I could not see Rodney Dangerbird and I just have to assume that he is taking the necessary countermeasures to assure complete perimeter security. Now the reason for arming him with a Chicken Chucker and extra rounds of Itty Bitty Rubber Chickens is apparent. With all his extensive training and now extra armament he should be able to protect the Ranch and its staff if there is a breach. Or it could be that the lights just went out. As Scarlett O'Hara would say, "I'll think about it tomorrow."

I also checked the Intergalactic Communicator for messages and found one from a very dear friend assigned to one of the most remote outposts on the planet. I had been concerned that her reports had dwindled to almost nothing over the past few lunar periods. But she assures me that her reports will begin streaming on a regular basis as required by OM 32-788.24389. Disciplinary action will be delayed until a reasonable time period has lapsed and reports verified. At least I can discontinue the added stress on the Pea.

My duties require that I visit with a vision specialist during the next light time period. If this visit is anything like previous visits, he will perform a series of tests to determine if I can correctly guess at the decreasing size alphabetical marks on the wall. I already know that one visual device is not functioning properly because it contributed to my recent blood-letting in which I misjudged the distance between my graspers and a fully functioning rotary saw blade. I assume this test will determine my fitness for continued assignment to this planet. We'll see (pun intended).

A routine Forum Check disclosed that 10/63 were tuned to this station but actively doing nothing about it. Fine with me. I'm returning to the recharging station.

Say goodnight Leroy.

    Good Night Leroy..

    I will be up all night considering the global impact Chick-Fil-A's ads have on Global Warming

    As you know they state Eat Mo' Chikin.. By doing so we will reduce Beef consumption, thereby reducing the number of bovines needed. This in turn will reduce the amount of Cow Flatulence released into the atmosphere and destroying our Ozone Layer.

    Therefore Eating at Chick-Fil-A is contributing to the improvement of our environment.

    Glad Rodney is enjoying his "chicken chunker". Wife is at her mothers so poor a Jake is alone in the house unarmed except a beak keeping watch while I'm at work Sue is patroling the outside and guarding the Egg so all should be well. Got a BIG storm should hit about the time I get off at 4:00. Got to love it. Well at least it makes for a good sleep! :whistle:
