Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

so, we used it on the cobbler leftovers....

Good job! No waste of cream OR pie.


On the truck repairs subject.... never ending but, I am right there with "better than a payment" each month. And there is sooooo much crap on these new ones that I'd need to a training course to use them. Even turning them on is a challenge. Part of that is getting yourself up off the floor from sticker shock!

Plus, keys are $100+ each, not the old $5. When you open the hood it's wall to wall "stuff" that needs all manner of gauges & testers to check out.

Had coffee, DGD to school, back home. Heavy fog. Young doe stuck in fence, fixed that. Slow morning now, to work at 12:30. Just hawking coffee today. Guess I won't sleep well again with all the caffeine today. Been waking middle of night. Today, 1:15...finally back to sleep about 3, then alarm at 5:30. Not good!

Need to go milk out a doe. Going to dry her. She was letting her doelings nurse but, at 8 months she's weaning them. Wants relief, so I've milked her 2 times. She's at the gate now....she likes to be milked. Didn't put her in line-up this yr and she was perfect when brought in 2 days ago. I have 3 of these full sisters and all are huge quantity producers. She & twin have great udders...the single yr older has ugly one but, milks well -- looks bad. I don't hold it against her. This one waiting for me, Daisy, had twin doe this yr -- and has been raising another doeling, also. A milking machine is in my future, saving now. I'll slack the amount I take and reduce her production gradually over next week or two.

We're in high 90's again today but, relief after "they say".

Everyone be safe and enjoy your day.

The truck repairs have kicked our butt this year. Better than making a truck note, but this has got to stop!

Maybe @Senile_Texas_Aggie will give you his F350

Ours is a F250 diesel 2004 model.

Haha! My son called tonight, he asked "how much did you spend on it last year....me-nuthin'. Him-And the year before that? Me-nuthin' Him-and the year before that? Me-nuthin' OK so I get it, it's a good truck, we have done routine maintenance, but did it all the big repair bills have to come in the last 6 months?

 

[farmerjan]

Yep, if they didn't all come at once, after years of "nuthin", then you would have been moanin and groanin every year..... And look at it this way, it is 15 years old, how much have you spent on it in that time besides normal maintenance???? I actually am putting 25 every paycheck into the savings account (that earns practically no interest) just to start saving for the "rainy day" .... just in case....

I woke up at 3AM. Laid in bed trying to go back to sleep. Phooey. Coffee is ready. Good morning!

Maybe some melatonin would help?

 

[promiseacres]

Coffee is on.
Got the farm mowed last night...now I am congested and I think I have a scratch on my eye....
This morning we do have 3 new baby polish bunnies.
45 degrees this morning. autumn temperatures are here!

Work that needs to be done is expected, but we've been sh!t and hit 3 times this year, all of them expensive. Once would have ok, twice, still ok, but 3 times is "Oh COME ON! This is getting ridiculous!"
A repair savings account is a good idea, it's not "if" but "when". LOL

 

[Baymule]

Thanks for the coffee. I slept until 7 this morning! I sure needed to NOT wake up at 3 or 4 AM.

 

[promiseacres]

Having another cup, with store bought cookies.
Called the eye dr about 10, even though I know she's "off" on Friday. The receptionist said come in about noon, she'll see you. My nose and eye was continual draining. It hurt to close my eye or move it side to side at that time. Fortunately no scratch just debris. We stopped at the library and grocery afterwards. Came home and had a nice nap. Now I am restarting this day....even though it's mostly over... John is still working on school.... I really don't care. Just happy my eye feels better.

Glad that your eye is ok! I'm all about safety. A good pair of goggles for your eyes and a face mask for your nose/lungs would help. You might look goofy, but you could see and breathe. Last time I checked, those two things were pretty high on the list.
