Coffee anyone ?

[Alaskan]

I had caught a mouse couple days ago. Took trap out & released the bar for mouse to drop. Cats just watched. Four hens ran over, one grabbed said mouse and ran, others in chase. It was torn apart and shared. Hens can be vicious!!

I first read moose!

Coffee is ready. I need to borrow your hens! I’ve trapped 3 mice in my utility room. I hate those darned things. I’ve thrown rat poison under the house and in storage buildings. I’m going to start setting traps. Peanut butter seems to be irresistible.

Peanut butter with a smidgeon of a granola bar/oatmeal piece... makes them work at it a little so springs the trap quicker... but I use peanut butter most of all the time...

Going to have a "come to Jesus" meeting with boss man this morning, third place posting my wages for simpler jobs. I bought enough materials yesterday to build a service bed for my truck, was going to build it at the shop. Now I think I'm going to bring it home with some other tools. Want to complain about my $34 an hour when I can do schit like this, nope...

So basically a helper’s job and you are the gut with knowledge and experience, making a whopping FOUR DOLLARS above the shop helper.

I have a plan that involves going solo again. When they call me up 20 minutes before I am supposed to be there yesterday morning to put a rope on one of the drivers trailers for the door on the back asking where I am at and I know the driver is a whiny baby, I made a U turn and went to metal yard and ended up being an hour late on purpose. I'm taking a week off next week too.

This is a rough sketch of what is to be for a service bed.

@Weldman that will be a nice service bed. Diamond plate too! Fancy.

Coffee is ready. Woke up at 3:40. I have a friend that likes to send me Reels from Facebook. At all kinds of hours, does he ever sleep? I do until the phone dings, sometimes I don’t wake up, sometimes I do. Eh. This morning’s reel was about Alzheimer’s, the brain being 75% cholesterol, margarine being one molecule away from being plastic, vegetable oil being bad for you, animal fats being the natural substance good for you. I guess my brain will be ok, don’t use margarine or vegetable oil. But it wasn’t important at 3-something in the morning.

Maybe I'm ok, too -- brain anyway -- real butter & lard here. Thanks for not sharing so early as your friend.

Working today. Last long one for a while looks like I may only work 2 short days next week. Planning to get seed in starter trays -- all necessary is here to do it. And do a dump run for stuff. There's that shed to rebuild from storm 2 wks ago, still waiting It'll be a busy week but, farm work. Good.

Better get chores done and myself on the road. Took yesterday off and ran all chores, feed runs, etc. Having a "gentle" wakeup this morn

The diamond plate is for the floor of the bed. Now if you want to talk fancy, yeah I can go that route. On all cattle hauling outfits out here there is the outfits name on the front of their trailers that lights up at night called a porch light. I'm going to add that to the service bed.
