Happy mother's day, everyone!

Yesterday, prep & load up went well. Extremely so. Is that a foreboding? 😉 About 3 miles out, I discovered no phone. Rather than turn with trailer, decided I'd do without. Got to site pretty early for me. Unloaded, got paperwork, began looking around. Decided I'd go home & return in couple hrs. That's when I discovered keys missing. 😲. Walk all over, backtracking. Nada....then went to truck & see them on seat :he. Now, no phone, can't call ins for lockout. Go to office to borrow a phone, & one suggests calling sheriff to come unlock. 👍 They called for me & about an hr later -- bingo. Sheriff & 2 min, door opened. :clap

Should have come home but didn't....suffered thru a long, long, long auction. Finally left at 9pm.

On good side, I bought 13 really nice, 2' tall tomato plants @$1. ea. Later got 5 beautiful buff orp pullets, 12 wk old, for $8 each!! Pretty birds. And a doz hatching eggs for RIRxMarans, $7. Then they finally got to livestock on 4 legs. The goats sold well, very close to what I hoped and I left with a nice check, pullets for winter eggs, my plants and incubator fill.... 🤔

So, get home, DS comes out & gives me my phone, which he'd found in the road that morn as he was going to work 😖 It was "a day" to remember.

Pics later -- obviously no phone while there.🤣

I'm glad everything worked out well. You can laugh now.

Happy Mother's Day to all.

@Mini Horses : what a day... BUT at least there was a silver lining... and nice that DS found your phone, and it was intact and not smooshed. Must've put it on the edge of the truck bed, or hood or trailer fender while loading? I did that the other day... then walked all over looking for it, and there it sat. It's that CRS (can't remember sh!t) thing....:hide:hide:old:old:th:th.

Sounds like you had a good day sans phone.... Great price on the pullets... and on the tomato plants.... plus eggs to hatch for nice dark brown layers to start early next spring...
WAY TO GO...:yesss::clap:celebrate

And good prices for the goats. That always helps...

And DS is working???? That's great......I know it has been sporadic... maybe the come to Jesus session helped....

Yes, I think I laid it on bumper as I was reconnecting chains on trailer to truck. 🤷. Yeah, DS works sporadically -- no transportation hinders him!! He's a great one at renovations, excellent framer & roofer but let crew go back when building almost stopped several yrs ago....plus some other "life" things got in the way. It's depressing for all.

CRS happens :lol: :old
