Geez @JamieB you need to quit drinking!......................just kidding. Glad you are still in decent shape except for some pain.

We moved hives today, I had help from a lady living where they used to be and help from a guy where we moved them to. Hubby is on restrictions right now lol.

Took about 3.5 hours. Bees don't like being locked down and move d. Dear hubby was watching a bit away and got stung x3, me no stings! Yeah!

Whew, what a job, glad you had help!
Yeah there is no way I can lift a hive by myself, we are talking around 100 plus lbs, around 3-4 feet tall and awkward.

With two of us I lift one side they lift the other than we carefully get it moved. No dropping, we do have it tightly strapped together.

Yesterday was a bad luck day for me. I’m hoping today isn’t jinxed too. I have to go in to work for two hours cause we have a rodeo going on and need the extra register open, if my bad luck holds, we might get robbed, or I’ll break something vital! Last time I had a jinxed day, I shattered a glass panel on the hot box that we keep hot fried foods in. Hopefully a fan upside the head used up all my jinx.

This morning I was outside and heard the loudest train horn ever. I knew right away it was a steam engine. Turns out, it's the largest and oldest steam locomotive in the world. I had no idea it was rolling through. Pretty bummed that I didn't get to see it, but I'm glad I got to hear it, at least!

Just got back from the Milwaukee air show! What a blast! A few of the schedule performers didn't show, but that's common for Milwaukee. Had a blast, and just thankful for no fog. Had fog issues two of the last three or four years. I'll make a post and share some photos tomorrow.
