One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[Green Acres Farm]

I had to go to the dermatologist yesterday. I have a suspicious looking growth on my nose. I'm very fair skinned (former red head gone almost all white) and spent a lot of time in the sun when I was young. My grandfather farmed.
Learned that the nose is one of the most sensitive places on your body.

It really hurt when they injected the novocaine, one of the most painful experiences in my life.

The did a "shave biopsy" will know in a couple of weeks, but very likely will need what they call "Mohs" surgery. And another injection in the nose.

That’s no fun! My dad is a MOHS surgeon and I’m currently working for him as a student. Are you sensitive to lidocaine? We don’t use novocaine, but usually ice before the anesthetic injection to “numb before the numbing”.

I said novocaine but I don't really know what it was
It may have been lidocaine
I don't have any allergies

Have you ever had kidney stones? It has been 11 years since my mom and dad quite smoking.

No on the kidney stones.
My mother and my late grandfather both had issues with them. Fortunately, it seems to have skipped me.

We sold 2 doe kids today (on a bottle) to a repeat customer.
Almond Joy's smallest triplet we had to bring in the house her 2nd day, and mom wouldn't take her back, so she has been a full time bottle baby.
Pepper's littlest one wasn't quite getting enough to eat, so she has been supplemented with a bottle.
The money was nice, but it also reduced the work load a little too.
We also made a deal on them for a buckling that they will get when he is weaned.

Nice to have the smaller work load AND a buck spoken for! They are the best kind of customer, proven besides! I thought of you yesterday when my husband went with a friend to a shooting range as a thank you for some work on a project. It was his first time shooting any firearm and they shot traps and targets. They had all kinds of guns-four different hand guns, three different shotguns. AK-47, Browning rifle, M-1 Carbine... He had a blast, literally.

I'm glad he had a "blast"
Do you know what range they went to?

Just thought about the fact that I recently got a new gun.
Beretta APX.
This was one of the handguns submitted to the Army as a replacement for the Beretta 92.
The Army ultimately awarded the bid to the Sig Sauer P320 ( I may get one of them at some point). I got this now because of a sale and rebate that Beretta has going. With the rebate I will end up having paid $345 for it. Which is really good for a gun of this quality. The Sig's are running more like $500.
It's kind of unusual looking with the serrations the full length of the slide. It has a "modern" look, not a classical look like a 1911.
Interesting that it has such a modern look and Beretta is the oldest gun manufacturer in the world. They have been making guns since the 1600's
Something different for the collection. I've shot it and it is one of the best shooting handguns I've ever seen

Shea is probably going to kid soon. I think her due date is Monday, but I don't think she will make it that long.
