Spring Chicken

Good morning Eggheads, Eggspecially Eggheads who will be migrating to the upper Peach State area in a few moon risings.

Eggtisipation is growing and keeping my gray matter heavily involved in concocting and storing Eggxotic ideas and visualizations of things to come. It is a happy gray matter.

Meanwhile, 'routine' life continues here at the Chicken Ranch, and part of that routine is for me to observe certain procedures, some of which involve assigned duties to be carried out and others that are heavily influenced by an aged infrastructure, including an internal plumbing system that requires frequent attention, usually on an emergency basis. One such emergency occurred only a few base time periods ago in which excessive biofluid levels were detected by sensors. The sensors, in turn, set in motion an internal alarm that automatically overrode all other gray matter activity (or inactivity), followed by deliberate and precise movement toward the facility maintenance department whereas a pre-determined sequence of events took place that required 'gripping' and 'tugging' on the pressure control lever which immediately reduced the biofluid pressure to manageable levels. Training and experience pretty much assures that proper protocol be followed without deviation but the time interval between the initial alert and imminent system failure is getting to be less and less. But this time I made it with 1.843 base time units to spare. Even with such close tolerances the mission will go down in the books as a success and the details will not be important.

The next required duty is to confirm the proper operation of the illuminator inside the refrigeration unit which stores chilled consumables for later use. This chilling device is highly valued and necessary to maintain a reasonably comfortable lifestyle on this planet. However, a recent undesirable weather pattern resulted in the illuminator being disabled, thereby making the inventory unchilled, which required either immediate consumption or disposal of said inventory. After 6 moon risings and 14.333 time units the illuminator began functioning again. It was a period of jubilation and the inventory is slowly being replenished.

Security here at the ranch is a major issue, primarily due to the large accumulation of equipment and structures outside the main abode. We employed a highly trained security specialist, Rodney Dangerbird, who managed the security problems with an iron wing up until he became unstable, eventually reverting to his natural mode. We had to disable his power source and he now holds the position of 'statue' here at the Ranch. His temporary replacement, Deputy Larry Ropa (semi-retired), is covering for now while we search for an Eggsperienced Head of Security. Anyway, Ropa saw me at the external viewing portal and waved the signal that all is well.

Finally, a quick check of the BGE Forum disclosed some fairly limited activity among the 16 Members and 59 Guests, but not enough to keep me in a vertical position any longer. So color me gone.

Say goodnight Leroy.
