Morning y’all. I have some coffee left, had my 2 cups. I haven’t checked in for awhile. I’ve been helping a friend tape and float sheetrock. I did 3 days the first week, thought I was gonna die, I was so sore! 3 days the second week and 4 days this past week. Lots of overhead ceiling work. Friend has a brain injury, has a shunt in his brain and looking up at ceilings makes him violently sick, throwing up and feeling terrible. He’s had 6 brain surgeries. He’s building a nice home for his wife. A barndominium. We are almost done, doing second coat of mud, then sand, then done. Then he can texture and paint.
I need to do so much here, have 14 ewes due starting in 3 weeks. I’ve got to work them, then move them to front field. Have to put up a temporary night pen and cow panel hoop shelter from hot summer sun that is on its way. Got 2 loads of dirt yesterday, one for temporary shelter, one for beginning to make raised dirt pad for new barn that will take me all year to build. Time and money, mostly money. LOL
Gonna spread dirt today, take down 5 cow panels from old pen in the back and drag them up here. Drive T-posts and bow over probably 3 cow panels, cover with tarp. Put up temporary fence for night pen. Run ewes through chute, take fecal samples and examine under microscope to check for worms, treat as needed. Trim feet.
Move 3 week old Cornish Cross out of tubs, off porch to chicken tractor. Got to spread some dirt for them. Last year they stood in water when it rained, gotta raise the elevation for them. Today!
Won’t get it all done this weekend but I can get a running start. Back to Sheetrock on Monday.
morning chores are done. Coffee is hot, tasty and I'm waiting for this bacon to finish cooking
. I have job work scheduled but, thinking I'll do some things around here -- work later, or move a day. Depends on how things go 
I really can't emphasize enough... when tank is awake, he's full slap wide open. I dewormed him yesterday, will need to repeat again as per the directions. Then I'll get him an appointment with a vet, if I can find one. There's a huge shortage of vets taking new patients around here. If I can't find a vet, I may have to vet him myself.
like gas in the tank.
