The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 11 is “transport” (suggested by odd). This morning I moved my (rather dusty) truck in preparation for going out to transport the new ducklings home, maybe today, maybe tomorrow. 📷 #mbaug

I’m fortunate that I don’t need to leave the homestead very often: it’s been 57 days since the last time, when I picked up the ducklings (and I went 61 days earlier this year). But today I did, to get duck and chicken food, straw, and mower gas.
It’s duckling day! This morning I headed to the post office to pick them up (and get some gas for the mowers on the way). Here’s me in my beard-compatible mask for these pandemic days. (Stay tuned for lots of duckling pics.)
Today’s color is yellow. An unused shot of yellow straw, yellow bee nucs, yellow bees, and a yellow tie-down strap in the back of our truck when we recently picked up a couple of nucs and other supplies. 📷🌈 #mbmay
After we moved to the US in 2001, we bought a cute Volkswagen New Beetle car. #ThrowbackThursday
For the first time leaving the homestead this decade, I had a dental cleaning, then dropped off a package at the UPS store, Subway for lunch, feed store for chicken/duck/bird food, gas store for the truck’s food, and the post office to clear out the junk mail from the PO box. That’ll do me for a month or so.
Heading home with non-stop panting from the back seat. 🐕
A more recent event for this week’s throwback: three years ago we bought our truck, a “2016 Chevy Colorado 4WD Z71 Crew Long Box, V6 Automatic in Laser Blue”. It’s been very handy for hauling lumber, feed supplies, furniture, and more. #ThrowbackThursday
Fascinating patterns of frost on the car this morning. ❄️
Another picture from our NZ house: me mowing the front lawn for the first time, in 1998. Plus a bonus pic of bringing a tree home, sticking out the sunroof of our car, from 1999. #ThrowbackThursday
