Latestarter's ramblings/musings/gripes and grumbles.

Just got out of the spa (can we have a Hallelujah! ) Lightning all around me but not directly overhead yet. Man did it feel good to jacuzzi again . Glad you made it through the storms Bay. Guess it's almost on top of me now.

We have over 2" in the gauge right now and plenty of more on the way....sure glad I was able to get the fields cut before this came in.....

Hopefully you guys get enough of the liquid that it will be just a pleasant, light rain when it gets here tomorrow night & Monday!
We could use some moisture but, don't need all the drama along with it. Temps are high for weekend. Little too much wind -- yeah, I want "more" of what I want. Not always what comes along.

I actually have an entire day OFF !!! I intend to enjoy working outside today.

Sure looked impressive and lots of light show and thunder, but only an inch of rain. Had a couple of baby goats under the hay feeder when it started... about 1/2 way through I guess they deemed their position precarious and untenable and came out in the down pour and high tailed it over and into the shelter. When they first came out from under, they were standing there in the downpour, probably thinking to themselves "WTH?" Much cooler today, 48° right now with forecast high of 59. Wind is quite brisk as well @ ~15 mph with higher gusts. Sky is blue with no clouds in sight though, and the sun is shining bright. Out of the wind, it feels very nice out.

An entire day off Mini? I thought you were retired? What do you have a day off from? Whatever the case, sure hope you enjoy and get your hands plenty dirty!

Well, in a couple of hours I'll be headed over to help @Devonviolet and her DH, and share a meal. Gonna bring them 4+ gallons of fresh goat milk for cheese making and a (frozen) sample of my lasagna.

We had quite the light show as well. I don't know if we got hail though. I forgot to check the truck when I was out there.

Our sun is out too. Wind is about 30 mph, with temp of 50°F., making the Real Feel temp 42°F.

Our little girl's horn buts are growing, so it will be good to have @Latestarter over to disbud them. We were going to do it on the front porch. But with that chilly wind, we decided to do it in the barn, out of the wind.

$1,700 & change... guess I can't complain too much.

You know I'd trade you in a second!

I definitely hear ya Bruce... I'm originally from up that way and simply couldn't afford to live there now. OK, so DV's little goat darlings have been disbudded. Did it inside the barn as mentioned above... Didn't clip hair first so got full force burning hair smoke cloud right in the face on the very first burn. Then had DV's DH open the barn door and set up a fan and not so bad after that. Had definite tickle in the throat for an hour or so after that evolution.

Thanks to DV and her DH for their hospitality and a good meal!

We always enjoy having you over LS! And this time we really appreciate you doing one of the most disliked job, for most goat owners. You did a great job, and I'm confident we won't have any scurs! Thank you so much!!!

It rained last night past midnight. Several times thunder shook the house. And today we found....

Look closely, that’s the carport with the mule in it. Appears to be a slight krinkle in the carport.

In the morning a friend is coming over to finish taking it down. Our DD and DSIL need firewood for next winter, so it won’t go to waste.

 

[Devonviolet]

YIKES @Baymule! What a mess! I'm glad you & DH were safe through it all.
