My First Rollers

Well i finally got the loft done and got the trap door installed. Well contacted site member Kieth C about some of his rollers. We chatted back and forth all week. Decided that Saturday we would make the trip. so Friday night i went to bed at 9:15 pm woke up 2 hours later at 11:15pm. We were on the road at 11:30PM we drove straight through to Ohio. Stopped for gas on the way there, filled up once there, ate breakfast at Mc Donald's. Then called and woke Kieth up and said were here we got there at 7:00amish

Hand picked 10 rollers, i wanted. loaded them up shot the breeze for a hour. then hopped back in the Jeep and drove straight back stopping for gas once. got home at 2:30pm wow what a loooooong day

my son, wife and dog is all excited about the birds. fed them and put out a bath bowl didn't take long and they did what they do best... play in the water

they have 11 perches and the hickory stick perches. so far they haven't sat on the perches that were home made. all they sit on is the natural hickory sticks, they love it.

more on the trip the numbers are 14.45 hours in the trip, 12.55 hours driving time, 67.8 MPH average moving speed, 18.1 MPG, 845 miles we logged from home to pick up to back home, 3 tanks of gas, 4 cans of red bull, 6 pack of 20oz coke a cola, 6 snickers candy bars, and 10 roller pigeons.
