Coffee anyone ?

[Blue Sky]

Rain continues here, too.....more tomorrow. Every ditch and catchment I pass is brim full!! Do not need more. Bed in a few. Just took an Aleve. My right upper arm, shoulders & back are achy. All the product & shelf movements can get to ya. Right handed so, that side gets overworked back at it tomorrow, after coffee & chores.

As a former unloader, stocker, restocker
and all around Empress of my grocery aisles
including the Clearance aisle of Dr.
More-oh, anything could be found there ( Dr. Moreau see what I did there?). As all that- my warning is take care of your body. Both my shoulders have impingement and the arch of my right foot is gone. (Charcot’s foot). Do not let stores overwork you, which they will shamelessly do to hold down their budgets. As an independent you may have more flexibility. I liked my job but as I age I wish I’d taken it easier.

Agree!! But most of this is more from slack couple of months, now busy. Most resets are lighter things -- but, I appreciate what you're saying & know you speak the truth!! Today was better and not heavy stuff.

I’m glad to hear that. Ok next thing Leo- international dog of mystery breed wise was moving sheep tonight. Some were stubborn. He bounced back and forth butt up like he wanted to play. When that didn’t work he chest butted stubborn ewes. I’ve never heard of chest butting as a herding technique. He also works silently with an occasional stinkeye. He even pushed the Racka who doesn’t like any dog. He does not crouch or stalk like a Border. All his techniques work. I’m not looking at the gift horse but “he so weird”.

Two loads laundry washed, dried, folded; kid bottles fed; feed done; 2nd cuppa in travel mug & leaving for work!! Early, busy morning. But slept well & sunshine today -- even after light frost this morn

See ya later guys.

Awake at 4, rolled over, slept, then awake just before 7. It's frosty outside, so I'm not doing any outside work yet, plus it's still pretty soggy.

I had a couple scrambled eggs and a biscuit with my morning and am now planning my day. I'll probably get my goggles after 9, when the stores open.

Misty and drizzly all day yesterday, actual rain this morning - just rain nothing down pour-ish and same forecast for tomorrow. Sheep are all in the barn staying warm and dry (spoiled sheep ). Think it's a lot of coffee day, though I do have to take the puppy out to a training class in the afternoon.

OH and WHY isn't the Coffee thread showing up anymore on the "recent" list??? I have it set as "watch". No wonder I missed a lot.
Any ideas ????

I have several threads that never show up on my threads I follow. So I hit new posts to find them. It works for me.

I slept till 7, laid in bed and finally got up. Talked to my DD on her way to work, coffee is gone. I think I’ll just slip my Carharts over my sweatpants and sloppy big Tshirt. It’s cold, windy, wet from all the rain, I’m not movitated. I’ll go to town later, need to get some things and today is the 50’s ladies lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant. So I guess I’ll suck it up and get dressed then. But not now.

I'll give that a try. Thanks!
EDIT
Well that didn't work , nothing shows up for the Coffee thread.
EDIT#2 -- I went into all the stuff in my profile every tab. Then in the ignore tab there was one -- I didn't even know we had an ignore tab - and I ~think I found the problem. Somehow Sourland was set to ignore. How the heck?? I certainly didn't do that! So I "unignored" and Coffee has returned. Still wondering how the heck that happened - new feature? I never go in the profile stuff, let alone "ignore".

I’ve never heard of chest butting as a herding technique.

I've seen that a lot in the non-eye breeds (not the border collies). Chest and also shoulder butt. Interesting to see, but even more so to understand. Of course in any competition you'll get hit for contact and lose points from most judges. There are sooo many different ways dogs work stock - mostly everyone is looking for the typical border collie style and have no clue about the other.

Leo came from a litter dumped in my old neighborhood. I got him at about 3 months when my neighbor couldn’t keep him. I never saw his litter mates. Rumor had it a roaming Catahoula may have been involved. He started showing interest in herding as he matured but the layout of the old place didn’t require much gathering or driving. Here it’s twice the acres, there are woods and a seasonal creek to cross and sometimes a stubborn flock won’t vacate the safe pen when I want to feed. So I put him to work. He enjoys it and it’s fun to find new things for him to do. At age 6 he likes to learn. Below puppy Leo.
