Chilly and misty out all day but no actual rain. Milked, fed, settled everyone and went work for a while. Planned on gasing truck...passed near me at 3.35 and filled on way home at 3.11 👍. Loved that!!

Last night I hit a deer. Actually, it hit me....saw it in roadside, it started into woods & suddenly changed it's mind, right into my right front tire!! Thought it took off but, appears it just flipped. Saw buzzards on it today. Luckily no damage to truck. I always go slow as the numbers are plentiful about there.

Worked a few hours, came home and heated lasagna from last night. Always better reheated. Next is chores and relax! I've got an overtime week coming up. 🥴🤪
WOAH! Talk about a close call --eeeep! While we have deer here, they aren't as much a problem as they are back east. Too bad you couldn't have put it in your freezer!

An old John Wayne movie just started, The Train Robbers. It’s set in the Hollywood version of Liberty, Texas. Dry, dusty, windy, barren, mountains in background. There really is a Liberty, Texas. It’s in southeast Texas. Pine forest, Trinity River runs nearby on its way to the Gulf of Mexico, green, lush, not far from the coast. NOTHING like the Hollywood version. LOL

So glad that the deer didn't do any damage to truck. That sounds like me on average of once a year... yep... they "hit me" ...change their minds and come back and do the same... although the last one hit the front corner and wound up into the grill... the one before put a dent in the fender...
Anything is better than the mule destroying DS truck last week...

Some clouds and sun today and only in the low 60's... looking for a little showers on Wed maybe. A little warmer too.
Sorry you have a full week this week...

PT this morning. Take library books back. That was a wasted trip. I wanted books on pasture health, etc. yeah right. Talk about deer in the headlights blank stare! Got to take back unused paint supplies to Home Depot and buy two 10’x1”x12” for making shelves to go in my utility room. Got to take back 2 mirrors to Walmart. They were too big, found smaller ones and hung them up. Chris will be here this morning to finish up hall bathroom. I meet DD tomorrow afternoon at my sister’s house to pick up granddaughters. The 15 year old texted me yesterday asking if there were any teenagers in my neighborhood. I replied, I live on a dead end road in the middle of nowhere . Sorry kid, you are stuck with me.
BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!
She is gonna be in purgatory. Snicker. Giggle.

Good morning all. We might finally get some rain. It'd be nice since it'd be the 1st decent bit since May.
Nothing like a kamakazi deer to make your day! At least there was no damage to your truck.
:lol:
Really :lol:

Although recently the wife had a deer run into her. We saw it slowed down and I don't think we were doing 20mph, when it turned ran parallel to us then turned and hit the fender. The driver door will not stay open now unless you hold it.

I really, really miss living on a dead end road.

DD and family lived in Lindale for about 10 years. The 15 year old had lifetime (her lifetime) friends there. They moved away, we’d get the granddaughters and she would flit around like a social butterfly, seeing all her friends. We never saw her, except to answer her beck and cell phone call to take her and friends to movie in Tyler, etc. Trinity county is going to be a culture shock to her. And I’m not going to be dropping everything to transport her to anywhere. I’m thinking maybe a movie on Friday in Lufkin. That will be our big excursion for the week. LOL
