In my experience, pour until your heart feels happy with it. I have the same philosophy with coffee.

My heart don't need too much of that kind of happy. I figured out years ago that I am a complete A$$ under the influence. LOL A little is good. Overpour is not. I have an over the top personality anyway, remove what little sense I have and it can get pretty danged wild. Nope.

Really? you don’t seem the type!

Bartenders pour equal amounts of amaretto and Kahlua and then cream in a rocks glass.... over ice. So a shot of each over ice and then cream to fill glass. I usually use about a 1/2 shot as I don't drink much... never did, could always nurse a drink twice as long as anyone in any group I was in.

Bottles in racks, dressed in "clean clothes", headed out to PT.

Good luck at PT!

A lot of birthdays have calmed me down quite a bit. But I still have plenty of crazy left. My dear BJ remarked not too long ago, "Just when I think I have you figured out, you change directions."
Me, "Are you bored?"
BJ, "No."
Me, "Then what's the problem?"

Oh Jan gross!

Ask your parents if you ever ate dirt Heck you probably inhaled plenty of stuff as an infant laying face down most anywhere. And yet you lived. At least we THINK you did.

I know I've eaten dirt at times... as a kid we had mud pies for make believe and you know as kids we tasted everything. A peck of dirt over 70-80 years is probably a teaspoon a year or something.... I mean, next to nothing. I have literally eaten dirt when I got tossed off the horse a few times when I was younger and just eating things fresh from the garden you will inhale some dust.... that's dirt in powder form.

Got home from testing at 8. Long afternoon. We were milking (testing) at 3:30 or so... about 3 1/2 hours actual time as well as waiting for the meters to start washing so that I can empty the first rinse of the milky residue and they will wash cleaner with the actual wash and rinse cycles.... I ache.... and I had PT today too. Going in to take a good hot shower and run the hottest water I can stand on the back of the right leg on the muscles and all.... Got to be back in the barn before 5 a.m.....
Went out and locked the hens in the crate for the night. Got 2 eggs today, 1 brown and 1 white; they have been laying 2-3 a day so not bad.
It was cloudy with some sprinkle/showers but nothing to amount to anything. Got a little sun this afternoon then it clouded back up and a tiny little bit that is more like a mist... then it stopped. They keep saying we are going to get some "rain showers" and some accumulation.... I'm not sure they remember what "rain showers" actually is anymore.... oh well, it got up to 60 today again.... I'm not sure that is so good as I actually saw some yellow forsythia flowers on some bushes.... so it is all mixed up. And some of the trees look like their branch tips are swelling like they are going to "bloom" like in the spring.

Time to quit and wind down and try to "relax" these knees.....

No, I’m definitely dead right now. Died years ago.

I may go fix me one of those amaretto things. I got Kahlua too. Cleaned out the sheep barn yesterday and today. It hasn’t been cleaned out all year. Last February was -6 degrees with 15 brand new baby lambs, so I threw down lots of hay for them to snuggle in. Come spring, it rained forever. When rain finally stopped, it was HOT. We decided to clean the barn in the fall. Everything went to sh!t in the fall. So the barn reeeelly needed cleaning out. I practice deep litter but this is ridiculous. Told neighbor Robert he could have it for his garden. We dug out a flatbed trailer load yesterday and tossed it on his garden. Today we did 2 trailer loads and tossed on his garden. Not bragging, but I worked circles around him. Poor man was tired. LOL.

I’ll let you know if that amaretto thing is any good! LOL
