Coffee anyone ?

[Baymule]

Sun is up, skies are bright. I'm going to put another coat of paint on my closet boards. I'm going to town to TSC for a feeder to make feeding the sheep easier. I need some treated 2x4's to build a hand rail at the back steps, there isn't one. I think it would be a big help to have something to hang onto, trying to haul my crippled self up and down the steps. LOL Also need a 1x12x12 for the shelves I want to build for my big kitchen stuff, since my dehydrator, pressure canner, big pots, etc, will not go through the 10" doors in the kitchen cabinets. Not to mention the shelves are not tall enough. I probably won't have time to get those built, but I can look at the boards, maybe hobble across the yard to go visit them. LOL LOL

Almost noon where did the morning go? 2 loads of laundry done and folded and still squaring away move boxes. Hubbs bought a ram and a ewe lamb yesterday. They are klutzing around the safe pen having missed the turn out. I was hoping for a different colored ram this time but we have black and white again. I never did figure out what killed our last replacement ram. Overnight head swelling, lethargy. Poop ok. Toxic plant? We didn’t have much at the old place, here the odd poke weed. Acorns aren’t ripe yet and I’ve never seen acorns kill sheep, scour them a bit but then they quit eating them. Snake bite? The book says they’ll survive that. Maybe Ram didn’t read that chapter. Oh well. Summer is back mid 90’s and lots of humidity.

No pictures of the new ram and ewe?

Woke up at 4, went back to sleep. Dogs started barking at 5:30, coyotes were howling and they were close. I eased out on the front porch, there was quite a communication exchange going on. It made me wish for a rifle with a night scope.

I didn't get the feeder yesterday. But I got the 2x4s to build a hand rail for the back steps and will try to build one today.

They still sell rifles! I have one with scope, old but relatively unused....getting it cleaned and checked over, along with a shotgun. DH would deer hunt, back in the day. They've been in cases and in house forever.

Very light fog today. Upper 60s which is warmer overnight than last few days. Humidity back up. Better than brutal Aug, so pretty ok.

Back to work for couple more days. Fri I'll be home checking that things ready for goats I'm picking up sat or sun. Need to get out there now for morning chores but, this mornings coffee has been lulling me into slowmo. . Unusual but, kind of nice.

Phone is becoming more comfortable to use. There's still hope!

Second cup and its not working as well as it should. Chilly night with rain on and off (thank goodness!) I didn't want to get out of bed.
DH is leaving for the lake house with his cousin this morning to close it up for the winter, I need to bring in plants, and do a general cleaning of the deck and shed. The garage looks winter ready, so just moving palm trees indoors is all that's left for that.
Still waiting to hear from my school...I'm not checking my email every hour...I wait until it's two hours.

I'm trying to keep an eye on Cat 3 Fiona, may be having some family from Florida if she takes a shift. The app that I have needs a paid upgrade to check hurricane paths, so I'm searching for another way to see it. I don't watch the news either-too much garbage on there.
Well, off to have cup #3. Let's see if it inspires me.

Morning, got my coffee in, and now waiting for class to start. Busy day here, also going to go for a run.
Just figured I should actually say hi instead of constantly stocking

Night scope let’s you see animals at night. Pitch black darkness, can’t see anything. I watched videos of night hunting hogs and coyotes, pretty cool.

I got myself brand new (new to me, refurbished) fancy Bluetooth earbuds.

Cooooooooool
