Hmmmmm, after reading Ians post all I can say is I've almost figured out how to set the clock in the radio in my truck...almost. Used to write tickets to the kiddies that would have their portable concert systems blasting away. Got a standing ovation from what were apparently the kids neighbors one afternoon. To each their own I guess!
Got a crap load of stuff done yesterday, a lot of it involved actual crap/feces/manure/animal waste/whatever you prefer to call it. Got a winters worth of trash picked up out of an area that seems to collect wind blown stuff every winter. Gord picked up all the sticks from the brush he insisted on feeding the goats last fall and then left in the paddock for me to trip over. Got SWMBO rabbit/unspayed cat house cleaned out, relocated some rabbits and spent a bit of time cleaning Angora rabbit hair out of the buildings fans. Pretty sure I could have knitted a sweated from the hair I cleaned out, if I could spin and knit that is! This building was an Amish neighbors wood shop before we traded a heifer for it. Pretty decent building, about 16 x32 IIRC. Had a heck of time getting it out to the road but once I got it off the sod and rock we skidded it down the road/shoulder the mile home nicely. Even thought to get permission from the Highway Super, which is more than some folks do. This never would ahve flown on a state or county road where running steel plows over it from mid October to early May is fine but pine 2x12's might "damage" the road. Got me, I don't get it. Definitely need to add some support under the building, it sits on stone piers. I think 3 (one under each floor beam) would do it, but I'll aim for 6 spread out equidistant, have to see how the time factor works.
Moved a chicken house and found rats. Gord got the Rat/JackRussell Terrier on them but his attention was on the chickens running around. some training in order there if I was serious about it. The German Shorthair/Pit mix did better and got a couple. I could have done better with my 22/45 Ruger. I did get 2 with a manure fork. Crappy way to die, pun intended. Got a mess of other stuff done to, mostly housekeeping type barnyard projects. Too wet to spread manure, so the stack is growing. Thought I was going to get the lawn mowed, not that it is really dry enough AND get going on the big fencing project, but that didn't happen. Did discover my higher end fence controller is not working. At least this one is fixable.
Rained again some more. I'm tired of rain.
