One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[OneFineAcre]

I won an auction on Gunbroker.com
In fact, while we were at the state fair, I kept checking to see if I was winning the bid. I actually won the auction on Oct 20th, but got it from my FFL yesterday.
I didn't need this, but I can't help myself, I just like good deals, and this is probably the best deal I've ever gotten on anything in my life.
It's a Ruger LC9 which is a sub-compact 9mm. The gun is used but in like new condition.
It came with the gun, the factory 7 round magazine, 2- 10 round Pro Mag aftermarket magazines, a pretty nice DeSantis pocket holster, and a Flambeau hard case.
The whole package I paid $130, so with the $20 I had to pay my local FFL for the transfer I have $150 in total.

Who was the one you asked me to hold? Was that the doe who had best udder? I honestly can't remember

Yes that was Climate Control.

Nice pistol. Good deal on it too.

Congrats on the wins with Climate control. The pictures of your goats are always impressive. I think I like dairy goats' looks better than the meat goats, at least, all the ones different posters have on here. That's saying something since I am just not that into goats.

That said, I have to mention that I was at one of the Goodwill stores the other day. My passion is books and reading, and $1.00 paperbacks are always a good deal. I just happened to see one and had to get it even though I am not a big goat person. And I laughed all the way through it because it sounds so much like all you "goat people" and the various day to day things and "goat math". Have any of you ever read "Life in the Goat Lane" by Linda Fink???

It really sounds like some of the trials and tribulations and some of the funnier things y'all talk about. Great for a barrel of laughs.

Congratulations! I am so happy that you are quitting smoking. I use the present continuous tense because you will be quitting every day and though it will get easier, it won't ever be completely finished. May God give you the strength to persevere.

You are absolutely correct !!
It's getting better but it's still tough

I bought the pistol with money saved on cigarettes

We will pull the CIDR's from the Togg's tomorrow, so the plan is they will have a date with the buck later this week.

Were you able to do it on your own or did you use one of the aids? Either way, Congratulations!

On my own.
I came down with the flu, and didn't smoke for a couple of days and decided to try to quit. It is still tough even after 2 months. I smoked a long time.
