Coffee anyone ?

Baymule · Sep 14, 2022

Good morning! Grabbed a cup of coffee at a truck stop on the way. At my appointment for a joint class. They can HAVE this old knee! In 2 weeks I’m getting a new one! Appointments all day.

I hate that! I worked hard to be literate, I want words!

While driving a few weeks back, I saw that they had swapped out one of the "school bus stop ahead" signs with a sign with a picture/icon!

i spent so much time trying to figure out what that icon was supposed to be! It was way too much detail! Crazy stupid.

I have never recovered from my few internet oops.

The time I was wanting to find a rare breed of chicken from South America and typed in "South American chicks"

Or the time, when the kids were really little and I wanted them to listen to the sounds that peacocks make, so I looked for videos of "peacock scream". Yeah... what is the second half of the word peacock??? :th

I had no idea that videos like that were open access.

That was maybe 16 years back... still haven't recovered. :hide

Oh, @farmerjan, you will. I can't say I'm liking it....but I am adjusting.

This is a lot at one time. Old memory bank is stressing.

Some things are familiar. But the operating system is faster, net connect faster...I've been on slower & older. Now, you touch something and are taken to places unknown, you didn't want to go to and aren't sure how to get back.

Regarding touch screen symbols get used to the phrase “stupid thumb”.

Turning the flock out. There is a bald eagle roosting in that tree line. Hope he doesn’t like lamb. The chickens are learning to run to the nearest LGD if caught away from cover. I hear the eagle far more than I see him.

As long as the lambs aren't too small they should be fine from the eagle. The DA@# eagles sure worked on my chickens though. They can carry off a 6-7 lb bird... they dropped a few in the neighbors yard that were too heavy the year they were decimating the flock of free range layers I had...
Pretty field/view with the sheep.

I see the LGD looking back....laggers maybe, or? Nice herd.

I got HOT WATER! The real estate lady and I became friends and she came over yesterday while I was gone and let the plumbers in to fix the water heater.

Also get used to saying "STUPID SPELL FIXER!!!" Then typing what you WANTED to say. Definitely proofread before sending.
