How come she gets more dates than I do anyways???? And expensive ones at that!

Because you are going to the wrong mechanic. Find a nice unattached one around your age I think they frequently come with highly discounted, if not free, auto work

Hope everyone had a great time this Thanksgiving!

DS2 drove down to have dinner with DS3 and I. We had good food and great company! DS2 practiced driving us around town with the warning that we would need to lurch backwards at every stop to compensate for the car lurching forward. He wasn't lying! But we survived! DS2 also got pulled over for the first time. Apparently the tags were long expired. DS2 had figured that his dad took care of the paperwork when he picked up the car for him, since DS2 was not licensed to drive a year and a half ago when they got it. He has only had his license a couple weeks as of today. So Monday he will be taking care of that.

I am frustrated at the chainsaw. I don't like her and she refused to stay running yesterday after an initial cutting session. I needed about another 30-40 minutes of cut time to finish all that I am comfortable doing on my own.

I sold the last nigerian wether and nigerian/boer mixed doeling. I got pics the next day that they were already adjusting well along with word that the granddaughter spent hours with them and loves them already.

The butcher is scheduled to come out this friday for the 2 boer kids. Then I will just have all the permanent residents left.

I am irritated with the hay situation. Last month I bought a couple bales from the local feed store. I always pay more for lower quality from them than from the place I usually get it from, so I was blown away by the incredible quality of those. I went back and bought half a load and then again for a whole load last week. Well apparently the were already out of the good stuff so I ended up paying a premium price $16.95 a bale for really light loose, all stems and almost no leaf, alfalfa. If I ever bought this poor of quality form the other guys, it was in the 11 dollar range and came with the warning that it was lower quality. So unhappy!!! I had to go to my usual place for $15 bales that are far better quality, to feed at night and just use this terrible stuff for morning feeding until it's gone. I feel bad that TSC is taking so much business from this local guy, but then I have this experience! Also the other kinds of sacked feed I used to get from him, the price changes on a whim, one day it would be $11, one day $13 now for the same feed, it is $16. I don't say much, but I am aware that you change the price every time I walk in. I might just be feeding goats.... but I am paying for what I want and if I can't get what I want from you I will spend my money where I can!

Bummer on the hay. Can't get at least a partial refund on the lower quality stuff? And $16.95/bale
The price I pay for layer feed and scratch changes but not always up. I think the mill must calculate the price based on what they have to pay for the ingredients. I've paid as low at $10.99/50# bag to $14.54 a couple of years ago. It has been $11.99 most of this year.

OK so on the dating front we have .... a big fat nothing.

But get this... I had someone offer me a ticket to the UK to meet him! And all that after knowing a total of 3 things about him, good looking, nice smile, and that he lives in London! To be fair he is REALLY good looking and his smile is really to die for... but I would prefer to feel like we are friends first. Especially since I don't travel well. If I go halfway across the world to meet you, I am looking at properties, goat travel requirements and job opportunities while I am there, so I better be looking at something real!!!! Alas, I am still here...

Mechanical engineer I was really getting to be fond of, stopped messaging after I confessed that I am shy about speaking on the phone, but that I would like to talk to him and I don't travel well. Too bad, I really liked him.

Someone from Alaska was inquiring... we talked (actual words over the phone) for a few hours tonight..... I would have to move there if things got serious.... I told him where to find this journal, but warned him that all my good stories are here so I won't have anything to share in person if he reads them all first....

Work has been off the hook busy lately.

Our company christmas party was alot of fun, Indian food at a nice little restaurant.

It has been freezing cold here literally, like in the 28-32s overnight. Chilly!!!

I had the butcher come out for Bobby Bobblehead and Red kid (2 boer wethers)... we should be eating goat here as soon as they call me to pick them up! Yikes!... Kinda nervous.

Sorry your dating escapades/desires/attempts have not amounted to anything. Folks used to tell me to stop trying and it would happen when I wasn't looking. Well, I never started trying & stopped looking a long time ago and it hasn't happened yet. Probably for the best as I'm not the easiest guy to live with I guess. Pretty set in my ways, beliefs, mannerisms, likes and dislikes... I've been told I snore too, which of course I swear is nonsense (it's not... I snore bad!) Anyway, I wish happiness for all in whatever manner y'all seek.

I'd personally be a bit concerned about flying to London. You would be out of your element. If he was serious, he could fly to you

You need that apnea oral device LS!
