MAN-ip-U-Lay-shun
Some may rememeber that
my better half...AKA..."The Woman"..AKA "The Little
Lady".....AKA..........."Goat Chick"....AKA.......The
Missis"...AKA.....Dalyn......wanted a chicken coup. Those same
acuity enhanced few may also recall that I did not want a chicken coup
because I was more interested in shooting Wile-E-Coyote using the live
bait provided by free roaming chicken. Common sense man.
Chicken are a dime a dozen these days, especially with this whole bird
flu thing. "Ehw...look out, it's bird flu...help...help.....oh no.....not bird flu!!! ehwww......Whooooopi" Anywho.....This has been going on since last year. I THOUGHT she
had given it a rest. You know; forgotten the whole silly idea of
a chicken coup. I underestimated her resolve. Her
stubornness, her unflinching dedication to this ridiculous idea of a
chicken haven. I thought I could just nod and smile and
everything would be alright. Then again, I thought I could shoot
a stupid canine at 150 yards without issue. I was wrong on both
accounts.
I put in my time at work; a 24 hour shift, and am
coming home....a three hour tour, for some well earned rest and
relaxation. I get home and do you know what I find?? Our
pastor is in our field beginning the ardious task of building a chicken
coup.....by himself....without me. That's just wrong man!!
This is the ultimate in "guilting" someone in order to get your
way!!.........Manipulation to the hilt. There is no denying
that.
So, here I am with a half built chicken coup, my
wife and daughter at a conferene 250 miles away and temperatures
approaching 80 degrees and a complete expectation of a chicken coup
upon her return. I mean, a guy can't just sit there and let some
other guy....especially the Pastor, build something for him. I'll
get back at her though........I don't know how or when.....but it's
coming. I'm telling you, it's on!!!

I came across "Queen of Alot" and then the next *random* blog was "King of Queen of Alot" so I'm happy to have met you and your beloved wife this morning.
Thank you for the chuckles as I had my morning coffee.... Blessings to you and yours.
