Coffee anyone ?

My oldest sister has an F150 with one of those hinged-right-behind-the-cab bed covers on it. She likes it, but I hate it. You can't put anything of any size in it and sure can't easily get it out and she ends up calling me (like yesterday to pick up a 'some assembly required' in 3 boxes trundle day bed in town, when she was already there with her own truck.)

Why own a truck if you stick that on the bed?

I hate tonneau covers.

I hate tonneau covers.

Even has a French unspellable name.

She's 79 and no longer does any farming...sold all her cows a few years ago and nowadays spends her time traveling to quilt shows and visiting the grand kids. Truck is starting to get some age on it and I suspect she is going to trade it in on a new Ford Expedition Max pretty soon, which makes more sense for her needs, but it won't help me having to go haul her bigger or taller stuff..

 

[Baymule]

But like a good brother, you will go haul whatever she needs.

Till I move west about 500 miles..She has 2 grown sons and several grown grandsons nearby with trucks that are going to have to pick up the slack.

Hello all. Sad day today. I lost a chicken, after getting them through the hellacious winter and cool spring thus far DS3 went to gather eggs at 6pm and found her.
The strange thing is at 8am this morning I seen nocsigns of her being in distress. She was lying on her side and had a large soft bulge at the base of her neck. I buried her before thinking of cutting the bulge open. I think with the rapidity of her death she may have choked on something.
The alway have fresh water, oyster shell and plenty of food. She wasn not small by any means and I saw no signs of pecking.
I am bummed. I understand thats its part of having animals but it still a living animal that died in my care.

A bit of a puzzle.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for the loss. I had 2 old girls leave the flock last Fall. It's sad. We understand and it's part of raising animals. Doesn't make any of us less affected, just more able to accept it as part of life.

Could she have fallen off the perch? I had a friend who lost a hen to a broken neck like that. Freak accident.
I'm sorry that you lost one like that. It's somehow more difficult when you don't know why.
