Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

I got carried away and let my coffee get cold. Can I get another cup if I promise to keep my big mouth shut?

Yes, even if you keep talking.! We don't limit coffee.

bringing in copious amounts of hay with them daily, no matter how hard they TRY to leave it in the barn, the basement, wherever?

All those places and what I have NEVER been able to figure is HOW it gets past a hat, hood, high neck shirt and into my bra!

Isn't that, like, rules #1,2 and 3 of gun safety - know your target, don't haul your gun out unless you intend to use it, and don't even have a gun on you unless you are sure that you will use it if necessary?
Add to that list of instinctual sounds the sound of a bullet ripping through foliage a few feet to one side of you.

• Know your target and what is behind it
• Never put your finger on the trigger until you have your sights on the target
• Never aim at something you don't INTEND to shoot
• Always assume the gun is loaded even when you are sure it isn't.

All reasonable and presumably common sense but I gather it isn't all that hard to forget where the muzzle is when you aren't actively engaged in shooting.

Guy down the street forgot the last one, shot himself in the thigh while cleaning his gun. Lived through it thankfully.

My stepfather was in the 101st Airborne during WWII. He said you never worry about the bullet you hear, that means it missed you.

I could hardly believe such a universal display of good sense.

Now if people would only use that good sense when there is a merge ahead and get BEHIND the people in the lane that will stay open. Everyone could continue at the work zone 55 MPH speed but NOOOOOOO, gotta get in front of those people so EVERYONE is stuck in stop and go as they push their way into the line of cars when they can't continue in the closing lane any longer.

Does anyone else find themselves bringing in copious amounts of hay with them daily, no matter how hard they TRY to leave it in the barn, the basement, wherever? It’s in my hair, even though I where a hat, it’s all over! In the egg baskets! Ugh! Gotta love it?

Nope. But then I only have the 2 alpacas so there isn't all that much hay being moved around daily.

Lucky you! Hey, I heard they make great ‘guard alpacas’. Is that true at all?

When I went to close up the animals at the barn ton, everyone was outside, making noises. I knew something was up. Then I saw our Hampshire pig..running squirely around and into the barn! I called Chris..it took a good 29 min to get him back in his pen! Ugh! Chris made a whole new latching system. It better work buddy!! Darn pig! Messed up my routine!

This one sounds like a real stinker. It may be time to hot wire his pen.

Coffee is on.
Not too much on the schedule. Just usual stuff.

Last night our Hampshire pig, Slim Jim got out! He went in my big barn just as everyone was trying to go in nicely for me to let them in. I had a devil of a time trying to get that guy to settle and go where I wanted. Finally had to call Chris. That dumb pig had up in circles!! He dug under the gate because it’s swampier due to rain then snow and ice. Chris made provisions to the gate. Have to go to the dentist today...nothing else going on except the usual. Have a great morning everyone!

Thanks for the coffee. I’ll take a multivitamin and a B complex with that. I got plenty, I’ll share. LOL

Coffee working. Up early to light ice everywhere. Heavy winds made the cool air a wowser. But, done with chores & sun out. Now, another cup as I get settled into idea of needing to go to work today. Bummer.

Have another 3 weeks of "home more than at work". I'm liking it except on payday. At least, I'm prepared. Winter is always slower but, just using time better this year. Plus it has been decent weather most of the time. I'm "practicing retirement".

Still unpacking boxes from storage. Wow, what finds! My own stuff. On the hunt for a grinder & a mixer/food processor unit. Plus I went from thinking I needed to buy more canning lids to having more than I have jars. Treasure boxes. LOL

@Mini Horses Enjoy those 3 weeks - it's good practice! Hope you find more treasures!!
