Coffee anyone ?

I shut off my alarms this morning... I wasn't ready for it.
There's a crud going around again (when is there not???) and I caught it. Lots of Vitamin C and cold medicine for me. Not hitting me too terribly, yet...
Snowing outside, forecast calls for warmer weather soon.
 
Going to take a bit for the snow to melt, it packed in a solid 2 ft, not the fluffy stuff either. I lounged around all weekend resting up cause today is the last day of in the 30's and when this ground dries out I will be hard to find. Need to repair a couple of flat tires on the dump truck and maybe switch out a few QR valves so I can stop the dump truck when loaded. Crazy to be loaded at around 30 tons going down a steep hill into town that drops down from 45 to 25 mph and you are just slowing down, but not enough to stop the rig. It's what I call the pucker effect, make sure no traffic in front. :lol:

Then I need to work on some lights, the road has managed to bust the two turn signals on the front, knocked loose or broken connections on all other lights so I have no headlights. Did I mention I never had a heater in it or A/C? It drives, hauls and dumps is what it does do. This is just from last season on broken stuff, when it starts you do what it takes to keep the wheels turning. Problem is, is when you don't get a winter to fix it.

Y'all should see the mouse house in the headliner protruding downwards sagging in it.:gig

60-90 today. 90's all week grrrr -- 24* above normals -- decided not a thing I can do so grrrr and all that won't help. Just gotta suck it up, not going to be good for any crops on the large scale.
I just wish we all could have our normal weather back.

I hope you don't get too sick! Feel better. :hugs
 
Drizzly, breezy, thunder didn't hit until after 2pm.

I think we have a winner, Caleb was only mildly reactive during the worst of it, while wearing his "muff".

Thank you @SageHill for telling me about RexSpecs ear protection!!!
 
Good afternoon all! :frow
Got up early to tube the calf again. She's acting better but still just flowing out the other end. Hopefully another two tubing's and she will be back on the cow. She got tubed last night and SQ fluids. Nothing were giving her is working. These dairy calves are unreal. Never have long term issues like this with beef calves. So frustrating. Jersey heifer looks so miserable but still not calving. Tornado warning last night at home. Some pretty decent winds and some hail. No tornado thankfully. Freezing today. Crazy weather swings. Still rather be there than here. It's currently 90* right now. Grass is starting to dry out already and turn yellow. At home it's just now starting to grow. Soon we'll need to get started mowing. Not sure how we are going to keep up on the yard from here. 🤦‍♀️
Spent the last few hours on calls with the county trying to figure out how they can possibly send us this substantial tax bill. Let alone so far past sale. I'm onto their deception though. Little by little each person I talk to give me more ammo against them and how they are being shady. Unfortunately I can now for sure say they have the bill attached to us and will continue to access fees and try to collect from us even if we are at our new home. So we have zero choice but to pay the bill. I'm waiting for a call from yet another office in the building. I want an explanation as to how they can possibly access the property 2 months AFTER the sale and know what the condition was before sale. They literally just put down the sale price. Not to mention how can they expect it paid when the trust specifically LEGALLY had a 180 deadline for closing the trust. They sent the bill PAST that point. I know there is no way we are getting out of the bill but if I can get it reduced at least then it's less out of our pockets. No good deed goes unpunished I tell ya. I'm so over this state and it's corruption:he:he:he. Attorney isn't getting back to me. Probably too busy trying to get ready for his vacation tomorrow. Another vacation. :rolleyes:He just keeps telling us to not pay the bill and just let it sit as unpaid. Let them come after us if they so choose. Ya that's not going to happen. They WILL get their money one way or another. That is a fact for CA AND there will be penalties for not paying it so we'll end up paying more if we don't get it paid on time. :smackI'm so tired of people not doing their jobs. :barnie:barnie:he:he.
Since I've been having so much fun dealing with all this nonsense I decided to try yet again with Home.com to get our private information removed for our new house. They put our information on their website without our permission. We did not authorize anyone to list our information. They claim it's public record. Yet they managed to list our load amount, interest rate, names etc. The person I talked to originally said I needed to have that redacted from the county. County said that's not possible. I just found on their website where i can request deletion even though the customer service agent said it couldn't be done. We'll see how far that gets.
Just sitting down with a cup of coffee. Hopefully have one more before DH gets up. Then we can get started with chores etc. Can't believe how hot it is outside already.
Y'all have a fantastic evening. :hugs
