Coffee anyone ?

[fuzzi]

Bathroom busted at work again.... so no 3am coffee for me.
The moment... and I mean the VERY SECOND day shift takes over I'm running upstairs to the lab's bathroom!

Call OSHA, no 3am coffee needs to be reported!!

Coffee done, breakfast done but with a small snag - the igniter on the griddle didn't click at all - so switched breakfast up some instead of the usual. Sheep out in the pasture for now because the weather is finally what it's supposed to be - spring-like and not roasting summer.
Thought I'd share something I learned (the easy way thank God).
Gloves. I always have them and use them. They have saved me more times than I can even begin to count.
The other day however, I learned something. I was reaching for something and the glove got caught on something else. No big deal, but it showed me a possible problem.
Take a look:

DH's glove on the left, my now modified glove on the right. Yup - ya' see that
"Adjustment strap" - the one I don't think anyone uses? Yeah - that's where
something slid under. If it had been an emergency or heck a hoof, horn or whatever
it could've been ugly as my first reaction would be to yank my hand back, and that
dang little stupid strap would have held my hand and arm in place. Could've been
a big ouch.
SOOOOO -- I cut the straps off my gloves and will do the same with DH's.
I've had this type of glove for many years, and several others as well (w/o the strap)
never had a problem - but boy that could be a big one.

Good point!

I still like to get my hands in the dirt, but not where I can't see what may be lurking (spiders, snakes, etc).

I'm puttering around the yard, don't want to get too involved in a project when delivery guys could arrive at any time. So I weeded a couple flower beds, and gave the Spring weeds to my flock. Yum, yum.

Bugleweed and evening primroses are the green clumps along the back.

Hello Spring!

I get what you are saying, but I use that adjustment on my gloves all the time... keeps hay out of them when I am using sq bales, and keeps alot of the chaff and stuff out when I am on and off the tractor with the rake and have to clean out a wheel or something...

My latest gloves are adjustable, but instead of a strap they use velcro. It doesn't leave an opening for anything to get snagged under there and works great. Only drawback is that it does collect things like hay and occasionally needs a cleaning.
