On the homeschooling.... yeah... we school along with the college timeline... so this week is prep... next week we start.

As to trouble kids. :hu some kids just love to give grief. My boys are as good as they come... but my eldest has his head screwed on crooked when it comes to school and following up etc.

He made 2 Fs last semester in college..... no joke. Turns out that he thought he had turned stuff in.... but hadn't (all papers were done electronically). He never followed up... so lots of ZEROS!!!

Told him he gets 1 more semester... then he gets kicked out of my house and pocket book. :hu Whatcha gonna do? That boy is more stubborn than a rock. Sweet kid.... but :barnie

Ok guys, plug your ears for a moment....

Why the hack don't men listen when you say "hey, we don't need to cut corners on this"....?:barnie I'm so frustrated with the Hubbs. He goes allllll out with 2x6s and welded cow panels and such for the goats.... for the horse he just puts out some t posts that (imo) are two short, some insulators with hot wire ran through.... but no heat to the wire..... really? Does he really think that's going to hold in a 1300# animal that has all these green soybean fields to stare at and who obviously thinks the grass is greener on the other side.... even though it's shorter and definitely NOT greener! He wants to put the smallest investment into things possible and expects professional results! Urgh! Not like we can't afford it. Just he is cheap!

Ok guys, you can take the ear plugs out. I'm done ranting.:th

Mornin. :frow Coffee is on. I picked up a few roosters the night before last. Was pouring when we got home so they camped under the carport. Got them settled in yesterday. One will end up moving on but the other three are promising studs for some easter eggers....at least two are named. One is Obi Wan Kenobi and the other is Qui-Gon Jinn. The 11yr old named them..... :)

@MatthewsHomestead sounds like names my 9 yr old gives. :p

As for your DH mine is the opposite.... let' take 2 months to plan a project that will take 2 days.... :he and we needed it yesterday. I agree make those wires hot!
BTW Duke DHs horse pushed his gate open last night...was grazing in the yard this morning :ranthe pushed the gate open after he unlatched it.. pain in the butt. If it was someone's else's horse DH would be threatening an auction. I have had him isolated to put some weight on him.... :confused: now Duke is in the pen without gates to the yard, road.
