Good morfnoevight all.
You folks that can raise chickens are lucky. Nothing makes better soup or chicken and dumplings than an old layer hen past her laying days. You cannot buy them in a market here. Evidently they are all contracted to the pet food companies. If I want a "Colored Hen" I have to go to the Cherry ave auction in the south valley. Kill and clean it myself. I will do it but not as often as I would like to have a good stewing hen.
The truck is back on the road

. Marlin is driving it for a day and I will pick it up tomorrow. The piston on the timing chain tensioner was just froze in the cylinder. Once it was loosened it works just fine. It took all day to get it all back together and I am beat.
