Coffee anyone ?

On my second cup of coffee. It’s hot already, I slept late, not motivated.

On my second cup of coffee. It’s hot already, I slept late, not motivated.

I drove home from TSC without AC, just outside air as I didn't want to blow cold air on the chicks. That's why I woke up this morning with a borderline heat exhaustion headache. I am VERY unmotivated to work outside...mowing will have to wait.

My yard needs mowing, it’s getting ridiculous. I think I’ll turn out the front field girls on the yard and the middle field on the driveway. They can eat it down before I mow.

A little cooler here early, so got chores done -- check water tubs, refill water & feed for chicks, check broody hen nest, site mom & older chicks, feed & top water for new goat mom in barn, be sure babes nurse, feed & milk Brat .... Check for rest of herd locations.

Now milk is fast chilling in freezer, while I have cup #2 and get ready to go to job work. Not bad, only day this week & fast, no brainer jobs. Home by 3.

Only going to 90 today much better.

I've asked the local grocery store for produce they're throwing away. They won't do it.

It’s a liability and reputation issue. When I worked for a major retailer I was required to discard an appalling amount of useable food. It was insured so Corporate didn’t see a problem. Our store had a donation set up (dry groceries only) briefly. Then personnel and hours cuts ended it.

This applies to anyone running a business including livestock…

“C” clients. They are always in a rush, talk big game and then bitch and moan when they get a bill.
Fire those clients immediately.

“B” clients want to be treated fair, never complain but require a little more attention. Those are the clients that keep the lights on. You send them Xmas cards.

“A” Clients pay fast and pay well, they get first spots on your schedule and they are the ones that help you grow. You call them on Xmas eve and thank them personally for the work.

Totally agree! Same way I work with my training folks. Sometimes "life gets in the way" for those folks and I make exceptions for them, a perk of being an A or B client. The others -- go find someone else, I'm not for you.

Good morning. 90’s today and lower humidity. Pupster is doing well, checking out the sheep through the fence. My broody is on phantom eggs. Dang. Hopefully she’ll snap out of it in a few days. There were eggs but they disappeared, snake probably. I have nice nest boxes but she won’t use them. Still floof season. A lot of weeds in my immediate future. More coffee indicated.
