CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

[CntryBoy777]

It was an interesting day here at the Lazy A** today. The goats this morning was in Shock....posted pic earlier...but bt noon they had figured out it wasn't That bad... ...they were ready for their daily Walk, but we weren't; so, this is the first day that we said No since we got them in 7/15. Not too bad for us 2 in all the conditions.
The Dotties stayed in their downstairs pen even with the gate open, but the Ducks on the other hand.... had a Blast, but they were wanting their Tub.... wasn't going to happen with the hose not being connected...toting the necessary water was more than Enough for each of us...replaced it twice today. Although they are certainly worth it, extra wasn't on the List.
Oh, while I was up at the house today I found something that might be of interest to some of ya.... I believe Mom got this back in the '50s and you'd never find one made today like it....and sure wouldn't find it for that Price...original box...

We had the same freeze/thaw/freeze thing going on here also. I haven't driven on ice since 1974 and after today I hope it's another 40 some years before I have to again. Teresa had a contact curl up into her upper eye and couldn't get it out so we had to go into Lewisburg. The northerners are probably all laughing at us cold weather wimps.

I never EVER laugh at freeze-thaw-freeze. That sh1t is the worst. And we currently have a lot of ice in our driveway/parking area. I cleaned out the wood stove yesterday and spread the contents of the full bucket out there.

Y'all down there in TN and MS have more snow on the ground that we do up here!

That looks like some pretty tough sledding @Mike CHS !!

I just realized something Latestarter...your avatar is showing Mel left in Co...didn't ya take him with ya to Tx? Isn't he a Tx dog now?....and ya haven't taken or posted Pics of him there, and ya are a Moderator and "Example" for us to Follow... oh, this must be one of those "Do as I say to Do, NOT as ya See me Do" things, huh?...

Touché @CntryBoy777

Danged... I been officially called out I've been remiss and I'll get on that directly. I'm not a big picture taker like many...

Yet you tell every person that joins how much we LOVE pictures. Yes, you surely should be doing as you say

 

[Latestarter]

ouch... well... we all DO love pictures, me included... I just don't take them tough to post what you don't have...

 

[Bruce]

Too true! I am quite sporadic. No cell phone camera in my pocket so if I take a picture I have had some reason to take my camera outside for that specific purpose.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Well I guess any ole Excuse is better than None...

 

[Latestarter]

Man... no slack in light attack...

 

[CntryBoy777]

Naw @Latestarter I never "Attack" a friend...a nudge, a "Ribbing", or making known an "Observation" may be, but never an "Attack"....here in Ms we "Pick At" friends, but only "Attack" our foes. Those that are foes never have to "Guess" if they are or are not, because they will know in no uncertain terms. Life is too short to not have Fun, so I don't spend much time facing foes. I have better things to do than argue, fuss, and fight. But, I do really enjoy "Ribbing" friends.

Our freezing weather is leaving, going to be in the upper 70's in a few days. I sure am glad, been toting buckets of boiling water to de-ice the animals water.

 

[Mike CHS]

We found out you can't add hot water to a frozen galvanized bucket when the temps don't get above freezing all day and night. We have 3 that need replacing since the buckets swelled up when they refroze.

 

[CntryBoy777]

This is the first morning that all the water for all the animals was froze solid. We just exchanged the buckets or dishes and let the others thaw in the tub. All the animals treated the warm water like hot tea, coffe, or hot chocolate...
