Coffee anyone ?

@Baymule brilliant for chairs!

@farmerjan I hate to tell you about this rain but, again today, all day.... It's dreary and I'm getting tired if it. Even the horses are and they generally don't even care. This morning they are all standing under the big carport, just looking around. This is supposed to hang a couple more days.

Having coffee, slowly convincing self to get moving...work calls. At least the heavy hours are lining up with the weather -- couldn't do anything outside. Well next two weeks are big full store resets, long hours each day....I SURE don't want this weather that long.

@Mini Horses ... I was looking at the radar/forecast and see where you are still getting it along the coast. OH, to be able to lift it up and drop it over us for 24 hours.....
Yep, may as well make money when you can and you can't do much else there outside.

Temps are supposed to climb and be back in the 90's next week with more chances of t-storms???? Not like we have any hay to make so that would be fine. Especially if a couple of the "possibles" would materialize into actually happening....
Have to get out my calendar and see what farms are next on the list to call....Been telling all of them that end of Oct is coming and that I will be out of commission for a month at least... so they have to get their tests in by then so they can go a month... most are on every other month anyway... so skipping Nov isn't going to be that big a deal.... and I will try to get DS and Geneva to help like with the 500 cow herd of I have to.... but that is end of Nov.... if I do them right before the surgery.... One of the other testers said she could do a couple ... she had 2 of them so might take her up on it for at least one of them that would be due in mid-nov....but she can only do them on the weekends because of her working at the post office in the afternoons.
Time enough to see when it gets closer...

Sheba is home and in the house. BJ just fed her a little bit. She went outside, peed and pooped a very small poop. (Probably because she pooped a load in the car this morning) If she keeps this down, I can give her pain meds. Poor girl, she feels bad.

 

[Baymule]

She only took a few bites, drank a little water. I gave her pain pills. She spit them out. It took a few tries, but she got them down. Sheba has a folded blanket on the floor. The cone goes on her at bedtime to keep her from licking the incision. This is gonna be a hard next few days on her. She has to stay “down” for 10-12 days. Poor She-baby.

Coffee is on. Got to bed about midnight. We got 304 bales on the wagons. Kids and I (and a neighbor kid) is supposed to unload and stack them this morning. Not finished on one field that was ready last night, then have another field that will get raked today then baled. It's lighter. But so far our fields are averaging 2-3x the yields from first cut. One more day of this.... Then on to other things.

Thanks for the coffee PA. Sounds like you need it worse than I do. 304 bales on the wagon! And take them off and stack them this morning! You are SUPERWOMAN! I have nothing but admiration for you and all that you do. You are awesome.

No cone on Sheba last night, she freaked out. She put her face on my face, putting the cone over both of us, just not understanding what was happening to her. I took it off, slept on our very uncomfortable sofa with the leash hooked on my arm. I feel like I loaded those 304 bales on the wagon while somebody hit me with a stick. It’s a recliner sofa, the seat in the middle is higher than the 2 recliners on the ends. Now I want to burn it, dance around it celebrating its demise, but I’d have to buy another sofa. Bummer.

Y’all have a good day. We will be dog sitting Sheba.

Thank you @Simpleterrier OH WISE ONE! PM your address and I will send your $500 posthaste!

Somehow I read this as $500 toothpaste. As in Elderberry. Now this is getting really interesting.
I love that kind of chair, btw. We had a set that stayed with the other house. So nice to sit and rock on. Apparently they were also good for elderberry harvest.

Wow, $500 toothpaste must have gold flakes in it!

Where do you think my 2 gold crowns came from? Much cheaper to just buy the toothpaste than pay the dentist for all that work.
