Monday noon. Rainy, wet, not too cold yet. Temps supposed to drop tonight. Looks like the rain is about done on the radar. Haven't looked at the rain gauge up close but looks like an inch.
Yes, I have a hand truck to bring the boxes in. Pain to haul it back and forth, but that makes more sense. Been using it here at new house. It is helpful. I just have to remember to take it back to the other house !!!!!
Loaded the last 5 drawers from the other bureau last night before the weather came in. Did put in some more boxes this morning.
Going to go to the co-op and see if they are busy to check out this tire.
Got a farm for tues and thurs and sat. I will stop on the way home thurs and drop meters at another farm that tests their own (owner sampler) . After testing Sat morning, I will swing back and pick up their samples and such after I get done at the sat morn farm.
The farm I took my 6 heifers to, is the farm I am testing Thurs..... 4 of the 6 have calved and are milking. Will be interesting to see how they are doing. I miss seeing the jerseys at the nurse cow pasture though.... but at least they will be coming back one day after the knees are done. Not like I sold them.....
Called about the chickens, figuring the first of the year. Seems this year was not normal for them, not many hogs, and they are back to killing chickens. Have an appt for next tues.... 25-30 as I will not be able to handle more than that, to cut up into parts. NOT what I was expecting and really not what I need right now... but better than having them get so terribly big. So, now I HAVE TO get the one freezer emptied and cleaned and try to make room.... in the next week. I will take them up on Monday eve, pick up on Wed after they are cooled and in the coolers. Which means I have to wash the freezers out too, to make sure they are clean. Got to get the kitchen cleaned up so I can get them all cut and then vacuum packed. Need the kitchen table here so I can sit and do some of the cutting sitting down. OMG one more thing..... I can't believe it.
Guess I better get going here and get the rest of the stuff in the house and go take the car to get the tire checked.
