Number one, it's not Wednesday today, it's Tuesday, as you watch this probably. And number, two, you might be thinking, I thought these videos, these Wednesdays with Bobs, were for members only. Well, this week is really, really busy for me and I didn't really have time to make an English lesson. And I didn't really have time to also make a Wednesdays with Bob. So I thought I would kill two birds with one stone.In English, when you kill two birds with one stone, it means you get one thing done. You get two things done at the same time.

But, I have to go to work, tonight.And, last Friday night I actually had to chaperone a school dance. When you chaperone something as a teacher or as an adult, you are, responsible for, the behavior of the students who are at that event. So there was a school dance. I chaperoned it late Friday night. I still don't feel like I've fully recovered from that. I still feel pretty tired.And then I have to go back to work tonight. But, it is, I guess me and a few other teachers are being recognized, for our years of service.You might be wondering, do I ever talk about the chickens? Well, sometimes I do. The chickens actually at some point need to go into the barn. It's not too cold out here for them. They are protected from the wind. But I think this weekend we'll be moving them into the barn and they'll have a much more enjoyable place to be.I'm trying to find Jen, but she's running away from me. She's, she's trying. I tried to hide from you, you're trying to hide from me. I'm killing two birds with one stone. I'm doing a Wednesdays with Bob, but then I'm going to release it Tuesday to everybody. So then I don't have to worry about, getting that done. I was just explaining how busy I am. Oh, and there's Walter. So, do you have anything to say to my wonderful audience? It's cold. It is cold. I wasn't ready for this. Yes, it's definitely colder than we expected.Where am I at here? Oh, I've already talked for too long. I better wrap this up. So I'll walk away now.
