Weather in Belize is nice this time of year but the sun can still be brutal. It's been getting down in the 60's at night and in the 80's during the day. We have to let the pot licker dog in at night or she shivers and snores all night. This dog, who is dark brown with blond streaks, can lay in 100 degree sunshine. I guess that's what it takes to keep those blond highlights in her fur. We have to close all the doors and windows and actually wear long pants and shirts until the sun comes up.

You could probably sneak a goat past TSA easier than past Belize Customs. I had to wait until the vet arrived to let him see that my cat was actually a cat when we moved here. The Ag folks are serious about animals coming into the country. You have to have a "well animal" certificate and they can still put them in quarantine if they want. Probably paying some "mordida" would speed things up but I refuse to do that.

Belize has a national language....English. But it is hard to understand most people. Where we are located, most would rather speak Mexican, Guatemalan or Chinese. They use a lot of British terminology.

Now they have you at Nascar wearing panty hose, cowboy boots and black lipstick and eye makeup. What a vision!

Isn't it about time for you to start a kidding thread?

So I stay semi on topic I'll tell my NASCAR favorites. I like Dale Earnhardt Jr, Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Tony Stewart. Can't stand the Busch brothers, especially Kyle. DH is a huge Jeff Gordon fan. I used to detest him, but can tolerate him now. So basically the whole Hendrick crew is okay by me. I like watching Danica Patrick too. I think once she gets the hang of NASCAR she'll go far.

We went to the Coke 600 last year. It was my first NASCAR race I went to. It could have been more exciting, but it was fun. Next thing DH wants to go to is one of the short tracks.

@ Shellly
I've been to five races I think. Three in Charlotte and two in Martinsville. Two of the Charlotte races were my favorite race of the year, the Coke 600 and the other was the Bank of America 500 in Oct. Then I have gone to the late Martinsville race twice including last year when Jimmie won.

I'm surprised you like it better on tv. I like several sports better on tv but to me Nascar is way better in person and while Nascar is not my favorite sport I would rather go to a Nascar even more than any other sporting event. It's unreal.

I want to go to Kentucky sooo bad. Ya'll should go. Would be cool. I'll end up going one day.

@Southern
Bull riding is pretty awesome. I love the bulls and I love what goes into them. It's so neat.

@goodolboy
Yes sir! And I hear you're a Jeff fan? Can't hate on the guy because he's a teammate and gave jj his chance but I think even Jeff fans can agree his whining can get old.

Shivers in 60 degrees? HA! Are you guys cold too at 60? I guess that's what happens when you get used to that kind of temp and weather.

What if I hid one in my shoe? I bet I could get them past then!

Well I speak all those! Well not Spanish. Oh or Guatemalan . Ooor Chinese. But I do know a fair amount of British terminology. Think I'd be good?

That's me!


Now for a "what I did today" update. I, with help today, moved the 900 pound bale of hay under the "barn thing" outback, then moved panels to close off all the areas so no dogs or goats are able to get in with the hay or any of the "barn" areas. Then moved the Kiko does and D and Callie out back into that field. Moved their hay feeder, waterers, feeders, etc. Left Moses where he was, in the large buck area. Moved Badger and Amy and both Nigerian bucks into the field with Moses. Mover all their feeder, waterers, etc with them. Also built a new hay feeder for the bucks and put it out there with them and threw the last bale of hay in it. Now down to jsut the round bale we got today. I know it doesn't sound like alot but it is. Kikos could kid in two weeks (due in 19 days) so now they are out back with the stalls where they can kid, it's all ready for them to pop 'em out and Moses is back with the bucks and they all, including the dogs, all have more space and a new hay feeder. Can't wait for kidding!

btw I know I said this again the other day but Moses is BIG. Will and Caleb, both standard size Nigerians, their backs are at the height of the bottom part of his shoulder. Will can almost walk right under Moses! They stand next to each other and boy does he look BIG. I was glad that they didn't really fight. Mo is so much bigger and if they wanted to fight and didn't like each other then it would not be good and I'd somehow have to remove them from each other. Thankfully they are all cool with each other and everyone is good. A little while ago they were playing but hard play. I could hear head cracking each other from across the way. Loud! I went and checked on them and no blood so their fine.

Good day.

No kidding thread for me. This will be my kidding thread and I don't have to time or any of that to be taking pictures all the time anyway.

Jr is good. Like him. Like Denny, like Kasey (teammate), can not stand Tony. Disappointed Marlow.
Don't like either of the Busch bros either. I of course boo them both.
I like all the Hendrick team as the are our team. haha I'm with you, tolerate Jeff.

Poor you. Last year's Coke 600 was SOOO bad. Horrible race. You should go to one again. I LOVE the Coke 600. My fav and yes, short races are GREAT! I WILL go to the night Bristol race one day. That's a must before I die. haha

Tony is a good driver. Personality is a little rough but he does drive well. I think Bristol was one of the ones DH wants to go to. There is another but I can't think which track it is. I want to think it's one in Virginia though. I think we may try to take the kids next time too.

Richmond. I have been this close to going that that race prob about three times. That's one I really want to go to but have not yet.

 

[marlowmanor]

Martinsville or Bristol are the 2 short tracks we want to go to. Bristol is supposed to be really loud. DH has been there before. Our ultimate goal is to go to Daytona one year.

 

[CrazyFlocksters]

I don't even tolerate 5 time. I jump out of my seat screaming when he wrecks. Lovin' every minute of it. Jr. can't drive, he's there because of dady(they even put him in the top ride). Does anyone like the Bush boys? Better watch out for the Kane boy, he can flat drive and is now in the ride. I hate Hamilin because of my DW. What would we yell about during the race if we liked the same driver? Tony is alot better than he use to be, grew up I think. And who can't like Mark Martin? I think he'll drive till he's 90.

NASCAR is the only sport!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Martin needs to retire! He can drive okay, but it's time for him to get out of the driver seat.

 

[CrazyFlocksters]

Yea, I guess I can't disagree with that, but I still like him.

And Straw, I think all that so called whining ended with Clint on the hook.

How can you hate Jimmie?? haha

Yes, Jr really is not good but I like him cuz he's a teammate. His 1000000000+ fan are crazy and do not live in this world. They live somewhere else. Think he's great and will win every race.

Nope.

Kahne is pretty good and have always liked him a bit. Glad he's here now and I think he'll improve alot now.

haha Good point. I love hating people's teams esp if you are close to that person. hehe It's like going to away games. The best!

Still don't like Tony. Have words for that guy but not here. ha

Used to like Mark (teammate) btu not anymore. Dude needs to retire now and he seems to love himself too much.
