No time, caught on tape

Another weekend is on the doorstep and I again have a full plate in front of me.  Ali’s Run for the Paws 5K is on pace to set a new attendance record and could be knocking on the door of 800 sign ups.  Since this is Ali’s race and benefits the Humane Society, an organization that we both care strongly about, the event takes on special importance.  Last night I spent a good portion of my time getting data massaged and equipment ready for early packet pick up which Ali will be running during the day at the Humane Society building.

Randall will be rolling over tonight to stay the weekend.  As he has done for many years, he will be helping us out with the race, primarily serving the role as event photographer, a role he assumed from Jeremy a few years back.  Normally the Paws race is enough action for one weekend but we will be tripling it up.  Saturday night we are going to a retirement party for my boss.

Sunday evening we are again hosting a Super Bowl party that has swelled in attendance in the past few days.  If everyone shows that says they are coming it will total up to the most amount of people we ever have had at the house.  I took Monday off as a recovery day, I think I will be needing it.

There is the possibility that we may pick up some more chickens from the lady we got Wilma, Betty, and Pebbles from on Sunday.  Even though there obviously is a raccoon roaming our yard we will have the chickens locked up tight at night in their coop that now has animal proof latches on the side doors.

I actually ripped the dvr footage of the raccoon last night and posted it to YouTube.  The main reason I posted it was as a heads up to other Urban Chicken Tractor owners to harden the doors to their coop so their birds don’t wind up like ours did.
