Haha secrets! What?

Last time he drove to NC he brought home Mel so it make perfect sense that he would drive to VA. Are we enablers? I think he should plan it to attend the fair, that would be fun and educational. @Latestarter , aren't you glad that we are all planning your trip for you?

If he needs any advice on fencing in rock I can probably help by now.

I am glad to see this finally taking place and I know he has to be elated.

What's in VA?

Um, perhaps @secuono and GP puppies??

Um, perhaps @secuono and GP puppies??

You might be correct

OK, I now officially have internet once again. One more distraction to help me procrastinate on building fence and barns and chicken/duck/turkey coops, and pig pens and sheep paddocks and goat milking stands... you get the idea right? I don't want to do any real capitol improvements here until I legit own the place. Odds of bad things happening are slim to none, but still and all... I'll wait. There are existing issues here with buildings and fixtures that will require my immediate attention once I own the place, along with all the other stuff I need to start preparing for animal ownership. As for advice... I'll accept it but physical help would be more appreciated There are too many things I need to buy and not enough $$ to buy everything I need.

Yes, you're ALL a bunch of enablers, you can't deny it! ... just so happens, I seem to fall into that same description.

Thanks Bruce and GW... I'd love to have a pup from @secuono and in fact have been eyeing Aruu since day one... Since that's the only one she really named, I expected that she's a keeper... And I'm not really set up, prepared or even ready for another LGD pup right now. Too soon. I don't want to get the next one (LGD) till I have stock and Mel is established with them. I'm going to need him to help raise/train the pup I get to be his companion/playmate/workmate. So next summer would be more likely for LGD #2. I "might" have a couple of leads on litters that should produce/prove to be some exceptional LGD pups, that "should/might/may/could" be coming available at about the right time... we'll see. I don't want to make a mistake... I need to make the right choice the first time out. Well, second time really, I made the first choice right with Mel.

So It seems the dishwasher has decided to no longer work, and of course I'd been filling it with dirty dishes. I also filled the jet dry cylinder with the last of my bottle of jet dry... That stuff is expensive! Called the owner, he bought it brand new in March of this year. He called Lowes and they're sending out someone tomorrow to hopefully fix it. SO today was shot with internet install, tomorrow with dishwasher repair, then Wednesday with closing initially, but after that I get to visit with @Baymule and her DH along with @Devonviolet and her DH for lunch. Next eating engagement will be at my place.

I have a huge pork shoulder out smoking on the grill right now and boiled up some spuds last night and made tater salad this morning while waiting on the internet installers to get here. Pork roast is coming up on 5 hours now, low and slow Been sampling it off and on over most of that time. I'll have to look at dates as far as when the goat show is in NC... Not exactly sure what dates I'll be traveling. And I'll have Mel with me and staying in hotels, so might be difficult to go to the show. Will have to look at logistics. May not be able to get a room close to the fair/show... they may already be completely booked up. We'll see.
