There is about 4 inches of snow on the ground 
which means if I hurry up and get my axle fixed on the dump truck it will pack in perfect, not the powder that was there.
My truck is in the shop (warranty work) which means driving the 2WD SUV to get around. If I didn't have a semi to get done before next week I would stay home.

Everyone is having a better morning than me. Yep, up to my 4 old mini mares out of their pasture. Then they raced around 
and then into old garden area
shut that gate & added water. Good for the day. Now, replace a short line of fence -- 50-60'? -- that just got moved to top of list 
Even being old, they can still race around!! Goats watched in amazement.
Had planned to do job work today....change that.
I need another cuppa.....

Hope the goats didn't get any "ideas" Mini
Back to the gym this morning, started snowing about the time I got up, might be a lovely day here. Makes it peaceful to study. Won't be so "peaceful" when I get to the barn.
Drank some Red Bull this morning for the fun of it, makes it easier when I want to go back to bed.
I know we don't like discussing politics, but I hope it is ok to bring up that Colorado voters shot down a possible meat processing plant ban. Was slightly worried for the industry for a bit.

Morning everyone!
I apologize for not having coffee I drank it all. Been up since 1:30AM. Have lots of stuff on my mind lately and most recent is I found out on Friday Nov 1st that my Grandpa passed away on Tues Oct 29th less than 24 hours from having SIMPLE gallbladder surgery and NOW his "so called" wife &son he was living with won't pick up their home phone then on Sat (Nov 2nd) morning I found out that there had been videos on TIKTOK last year (Nov 8th,2023) of other truckers trying to save my Uncle.
Another rough year and have to pretend everything is all good when there's no feeling but pain and sadness!

....runs to look up CO proposed ban. Gosh, I toured quite a few meat processing plants in CO back in the day. Cargil, IBP, and more. 'Course, they've changed hands and names over the years.

GOOD MORNING! 
On cup two, weather is great (though Santa Ana about to blow in), things are getting manageable finally.
Looking to get my sheep/lamb records straight and written down in the book rather than on magnetic erase
boards.

Wow.... really hits home that things are changing in ways I do not like. (As in... that people even think up banning meat processing)

@Alaskan guess they think closing will stop processing? 
there's still cowboys out there!
So many things are out of sync in the world today.
I did fence and then went to job.
. Night chores done...light duty stuff 
and in for night. Darn I hate it's dark at 5:30!!

I truly don't understand what they thought it would accomplish. But there was some legitimate fear regarding the sheep processing plant in Denver. The numbers it does every day would be a hit to the industry without it.
There were a couple other ballot measures in Colorado that I think we could agree as a group were for the better that they didn't pass. Upsetting to see they made the ballot in the first place, but glad overall that they didn't pass.
