Needed a 2nd cup... decided to put the horses out on pasture for a couple of hours this morning... Mom's dumb morgan mare couldn't wait her turn and charged the fence... :somad bounce off it, tore her face up... she's now in the small paddock. We spent over 2 hours fixing the fence and looking for the nails that were popped off.. still 3 out there. :rant but we needed to get school done. Mom of course isn't answering her phone... if it was my horse I'd be thinking stitches but since it's just a pasture pet... not sure it's worth it... I'm not going to try to clean it up by myself as dumb as this mare acts with fly spray.... I really didn't need this today. :he

I got a long handled magnet also at a "sale table" where they have less than top shelf tools in many of the stores like an auto parts and TSC and our local feed co-op. It has a flat head about the size of a flat baseball. Used it several times to try to find stuff that has gotten dropped/lost off a truck or something. It is great. I have found unbelieveable numbers of screws/nails/metal pieces of stuff with it. Also have a small one with a telescoping handle but really like the bigger one even if it is a stationary handle. They are great.

Coffee is on. woke up at 4:30... couldn't sleep. DH has gotten our anniversary weekend off in a couple of weeks and says we might go horse camping...ack! :bunny:clap
@CntryBoy777 we have a couple of magnets, one on a pole and one with wheels. I only found the one with wheels. We searched and searched but finally gave up. I finally got a hold of Mom about 2 and she came out and decided no stitches though it was still bleeding. We treated the wounds and then she came back in the evening to retreat.. I got the mowing done here and DH did the farm. Plus he finished fixing the fence.

Coffee is ready! Everybody in Florida hunker down and stay safe! What nobody is saying is after Dorian charges through Florida, then where is it heading?

It's hot here, going out to pull some giant ragweed and lambs quarters out of the garden this morning, maybe a wagon load for Ringo and his girls and one for the lambs. By that time I will be soaked and need a shower. DH has a Dr appointment this afternoon in Tyler. While we are in Tyler, we are going by East Texas Seed Company to get Crimson clover seed, Prine Tertaploid Rye grass seed and 5 pounds of chicory seed. I need to get some more lime, will lime the "new" ground and sow seed in the coming month.

Good morning! On my second cup and trying to decide what to do today. The original plan was to hook up the trailer early and go pick up some stock panels to create a dry lot for the critters. I was trying to plan ahead so I can be ready to broadcast fall seeds. Need to be able to give it a chance to get established. But, dealership has my truck because they didn't get finished with routine maintenance and the recalls - ugh. Specifically told them yesterday morning that I didn't want to leave it overnight. Sooooo no panels this morning. Grrrrr. Oh well - gotta adapt and make another plan. It's life - what else is new, lol!

To all those in Florida - stay safe!
