Visited a local poultry breeder just south of Quinlan.The wife took a liking to this turkey hen:
I liked the naked neck chicken in the lower left of this pic:
Yes, they're supposed to look like that. They are heat-tolerant, good layers, and have good personalities. Dear Wife says "no, too ugly." :-( Good thing she gave me a second chance when she met me...
On the way to Quinlan I saw my first Porsche Panamerica (turbo, even) in the wild. It was interesting, not nearly the ugly beast the automotive critics have been whining about. I rather liked it.
Sorry for the indistinct pic but he was making rapid progress in the left lane. I think this was on Hwy 80.
On the way back we swung north to Greenville where I bought my first new motorcycle and first new car. The old city square appears to be dying off. :-(
Then went and visited some small towns that feed Commuinity ISD: Nevada, Josephine, Copeland. Excellent night drive, but the rain and lack of lighting made it a bit stressful when facing oncoming.
Sunday
Spent a bit of time with the chickens, who are developing into recognizable hens these days. This pic is from a day or so earlier but they didn't change much in 48hrs. :-)
This is them today enjoying a dustbath in a cool patch of dirt under the bushes:
