Coffee is about gone. Still dark outside. I got hog panels yesterday so think I’ll start setting up my sheep working equipment. Since the run will go across the place where the round bale is set, I’ll have to make that removable. Yeah, it will be a temporary rigged up sort of thing with my usual hay string extravaganza. But I haven’t had it set up in way too long. Poor Lucy’s hooves are so long, I should be ashamed, but I not. I moved twice and had knee replacement surgery, but they never missed a meal, they have had shelter, not great, but shelter, so now I play catch up. Sunny day today and I’m gonna be out in it.

Hot coffee, yum! Feeding done. Contemplating what I'll tackle today, now that a ride for a friend isn't needed. a couple extra hours are here. But also juggle of some plans. No problem, plenty to do

I'll change clothes and get at it -- right after this cuppa

Arrived at work planning to finish the accounting/inventory End-of-month/End-of-quarter/End-of-year... and found out 1 min before we opened that the scale tech is not coming in today.
I'm on my 4th cup of jittery concentration with so many open tabs on the scale PC that I'm starting to slow down the system.

Finishing up my cup and getting ready to head out - Obi says not soon enough . Had DH pick up eggs at the store -- our chooks are on their winter vacation. Cracked one open and woah -- I expected pale yolks - got that, but small yolks and way way more egg white than I've seen (fried eggs in a round form so they fit on the muffins) - what's up with that?!! Noooo comparison to our regular home grown. Think perhaps it may be time to get a few more chickens and set up a small coop at the barn.
43-61 and clear today. Going to graze this morning -- sheep will be happy, Obi will be happier, I will be happiest.

I used to get 6 chicks each spring at the feed store. They started laying in the fall. The 1 year olds molted, the 2 year olds hit the stew pot. In the spring the newest hens kept laying, the now 2 year olds started laying and I got 6 more chicks.
