Coffee anyone ?

I walked over to the barn yesterday I opened the doors to find it almost sparkly clean. I keep a clean barn, but I didn't expect my ranch sitter to do the same. WOW, I am so impressed.
Back to the regular things - finally. It's good to be home without future things looming over me. Time to think and do garden, sheep stuff, I'd go grazing - and may well do with just Zo. Obi lost 3 lbs -- between us being gone, and mostly Ree being in season (typical) he went on a bit of a food strike. Need to get some lbs on the boy.

A very steady 15mph wind out there. It's annoying. Things blowing around from ??? Can't get much done -- sure can't hang things on clothesline we've had windy all week & no let up coming, it seems.

I've spent hours trying to to find a new starter for my tractor, online. So there's TWO part numbers on it. None on line come up alike. Dealer has a 3rd#, replacement (?), and a $747. Price . The brand has an outlet about 50 miles, primarily for car units. Calling them today, hoping for a unit find. Most 12v have 9-10 splines, this one 15. I'm so . Yeah, rebuild is a consideration....find a shop harder. But may only run $350...may is key here, plus 2 wks time.

Need my tractor!!!

ScaredUp till 2am with Dominic then had a super scary low at school. His BG got down to 42mg/dl. He’s only been that low a couple of times and he turns into zombie boy.

Talk about a heart stress test for mom.

No idea how parents make it through stuff like that.

Soooo...the shop for the brand is closed up -- gone! Starter is at rebuild shop in Ahoskie ... 40 miles. $$$?? 200-350 most likely. Geesh. Still better than new replacement which they wanted pd up front to order, no return. . Not happening!!

Talk about a rock & a hard place!

Then -- after starter works, I can address why a couple other things are not working on it.

At least you found a place to get it rebuilt.

Coffee at hand, moving slowly this morning. My 2+ hour weeding marathon last night wore me out, and I went to bed at 9!

But it looks SO much better.

See the HUGE weed pile on the left? It's on top of the septic tank depression, too.

Next?
