Well if any of you win, I won't be your friend until you are broke again. Just in case you get all uppity

Isn't there a saying that folks who get instantly rich don't change... all the folks they "used to know" do? And see, Bruce is already changing and none of us have even gotten rich yet!

More rain headed my way... About to move over @Baymule then be here over me in an hour or so. Sure was nice seeing blue sky and sun this morning, even if it was only for a short time while doing chores. Made it really clear and easy to watch the coyote saunter across the back pasture inside/at the fence line. Called Mel, and started moving toward the back of the fenced pasture pointing at it and talking to him, hoping he'd see it and know/learn that it's a potential threat and to be watched for. Instead, he started running around me, trying to play and watch to see what my next move was going to be... At least he barks at night... I hope he knows what he's doing... Then to top it off, I hear the thundering herd coming as that's what they do when I go anywhere other than their night pen area. They "assume" I'm going to cut down a nice juicy leafed tree for them... Just what I wanted... all the goats down at the back of the fenced pasture so a coyote can get a clear look at them...

More rain coming up behind that mass, so gonna be a wet day... again...

Well if you don't get all uppity, I'll still be your friend even if you don't go broke I don't want even part of a penny of what you (might) win.


Sure sounds like you need an LGD there Joe! One to teach Mel what he is supposed to do.

Mel guards. He guards biscuits, cool indoor floors, food, mud puddles..........

 

[Latestarter]

Actually, he doesn't guard his food, bones, treats, biscuits... I have to feed him separately or he just lets everyone else eat it for him. OK, technically he does growl at the goats if they get to near him when he's eating a bowl of real meat & gravy mixed with his food though. Not like they would eat it, they just want to sniff and see what he's eating. And he HATES getting his feet wet, so no problem if you want any puddle on the property... You can have them, he doesn't want them. Trying to wash mud off his feet is a MAJOR evolution and there's never a guarantee I'll succeed...

Went out and got $20 worth of tickets for the 1 billion + drawing tonight. Maybe I'll get one number... hope at least it's a mega ball. That'll be worth $2.

Good luck with your tickets!

 

[Rammy]

Im not playing the lottery. I wouldnt win anyway. Good luck with your tickets. Hope you get lucky.
If you do you can buy Mel some doggie boots so he wont get his delicate paws wet. And then you can buy a LGD to guard Mel against the mean goaties trying to "steal" his food.And maybe an air conditioned guard dog house.

Have my homeowners insurance due the first of the month... ~$1,900. Just got my property tax bill... Haven't opened that yet but sure it'll be in the $1,900 range also. Vehicle registrations are due in December/January, and I believe my next vehicle insurance (6 month) is due early February. The holidays are fast becoming a very unhappy time of year for me...

 

[Rammy]

I feel your pain.

Ya will have to get a savings account and get started putting it in there each month at the beginning of the year, then when it comes due you'll already have it on hand....before the holidays....
