cokacola Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 Well got up at 7, Lib line said weather was bad and there would be an update at 8:30 Phoned 8:30, weather still bad - update at 10 Phoned 10 - The convoyer still hasn't seen any sun, update at 12:30! Arghhhh! In the meantime, I'v been warned to get some cider vinegar to give them on their return as a precaution for young bird sickness. You might be interested to know that of the 5 I sent, 2 are yours Bewted and 2 were bred by Mac1.
REDCHEQHEN Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 what's the weather like where you are Tariq? (we're all rooting for you (evil) )
cokacola Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 what's the weather like where you are Tariq? (we're all rooting for you (evil) ) The weather here is pretty much: Blue skies visible, No rain, Some Sun. I believe there is a W wind. There is a mixture of white clouds and grey clouds.
Guest spin cycle Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 do you think he is down the loft ?....it's as bad as waiting for my own..fingers crossed(ok)
cokacola Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 Hi Guys: Birds got libbed at 12:05 pm I have 3 back so far! Spoke to club sec and he only had 2 back at the same time I had 2 back, but he sent 15 birds and I sent 5. No idea how well I'v done, because of the late liberation we aren't meeting at the club until 6:00pm. The Hen that came in first was one of two mealy pieds given to me by Ted (Bewted). Tariq.

cokacola Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 Well guys, the results are in! I got 3 Pigeons back from 5 after, although I'm assured that they will come back, most club members have a significant number of birds missing and some have been having birds in all evening. I got 2nd and 3rd! Oh yeh! 1st was my club mate Bobby Sadler - well done Bobby! his velocity 959.043 2nd Moi! With a Mealy Pied bred by Ted, Velocity 942.538 3rd Moi! With a nice black hen, Velocity 899.965 I also got 7th with a busschaert bred by Mac1, velocity 601.327 All in all very impressed! I'm looking forward to next weekend!
REDCHEQHEN Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 Well done Tariq - wait till Ted (bewted) sees this !! (evil)(evil)(evil)

cokacola Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 Forgot to mention, freakin mealy pied hen didn't come in for 4 minutes! So yes, I could have got a better result if she'd come in straight away but never mind! The mealy Pied clocked in at 13:17:35 with a flying time of 1:12:35. The race was 38 miles 1529 yards.
ALF Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 If the mealy pied was there at that time and would have come in right away you would have won the race easy wee man : :-/ :-/ :B :B :B :( :(
Guest peter.j Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 well done tariq i think we all raced that one with you...pete
