DD2's Peruvian BF apparently isn't big on seatbelts. But while he was working here (where they met) and she was driving him places (he had no car), he learned that the car doesn't move until all seatbelts are on. I guess my girls learned that one REAL well and without personal experience as to why. I don't even start my car until I've buckled in. Get in, close door, put on seatbelt, start car, drive.

I suspect Jay will have to pay for a replacement truck somehow as well. I truly hope he and his friends now understand why seatbelts are required. Keep that picture around as a reminder. And maybe find some incidences where people were thrown out of a vehicle in a crash.

Bruce - we really aren't sure that he understands just how lucky they are.

Then he needs to see some really graphic pictures of what happens to people in car crashes. I know, he's a teenager and invincible. Until he isn't. I sure hope he doesn't get cocky about walking away from this.

boys his age are bullet proof, don't you guys remember that. and yup, the good Lord takes care of widders, orphans and half wits. mama always said so. if the no seat belt ticket got thru to him maybe this will too. we can only hope it does.

Sorry getting caught up now. Good looking lambs for this year congratulations! Keep those pics comin. And sorry for that poor boy, seatbelts can save lives. I had a cousin who taught me when I was little it was cool to not wear seat belts. He was ejected through the front windshield in a wreck a few years back and killed but I still didn’t learn until I rolled a friends Subaru without a seatbelt. I lucked out and walked away from that wreck with a few scratches and my going to town hat was probably what saved me from major damage when my head broke the sunroof. Now I always wear one, because while the good lord may look after fools and small children there’s no guarantee he’ll do it twice.

Sage advice!

We are getting ready to start weaning soon and still have one ewe that has not lambed. I'm posting a couple of pictures from the driveway at the south end of our place. Where I'm standing is about 50' away from the CSX railroad tunnel that runs under our driveway. The other picture with Thor and the boys is at the north end of our place and is the next and last grass that needs to be fenced. I would just keep using the netting but I want to close off an access point that I don't want open any longer.

Ya know....for someone that was so happy to be about done with fencing, ya sure keep coming up with fencing projects for one reason or another.........I suppose the shoulder is healing nicely if ya already feel up to giving it a good workout....

I'm still having to baby the shoulder. It gets to feeling pretty good and then I go in for physical therapy twice a week. It still hurts like the dickens but I'm working it enough that I'm getting some of the strength back.

Channeling the much younger generations:
I know, RIGHT?!

Been thinking the same thing. Mike's extensive fencing is all done. Well, maybe just this one more part.
