Well today ended up being a pretty good day after all.  I was working in the area where my in-laws live and went by to visit them for lunch.  Ended up being a pretty good idea on my part since I showed up with a bologna sandwich and chips, and ended up leaving with a grab bag of vegetable seeds and hopefully 2 dozen fertile Buff Orpington eggs.  So right now I've got the incubator warming up so maybe in 21 days we'll have baby chicks.  I'm not 100% sure if they are fertile so I'm gonna have to do some research on candling eggs.  If anyone out there in my massive following have any insight on the subject please post.
