And good morning everyone!

 

[Blooie]

Sorry to but in, but @Blooie , do you really have proper Bentonite clay?

We sure do! It’s everywhere here. Within a 15 mile radius we have 4 (5 if I count the one in Greybull just past that 15 mile radius) bentonite mines and processing plants - one is just 4 miles from our house.

When I had my hair cut that much I donated the pony tail to be used to make a wig for children with cancer. Just a thought for future. She looks great!

She did - she donated it to Pantene because Locks of Love charges the patients for the wigs.

Good morning Chat Folk - have fun today.

Me too! It’s a PITA to have everything ready for planting and not be able to get in and get started. The sugar beets they plant up here should be in the ground starting this week - they like it cooler. The gated pipe is in for the irrigation in most fields. But we’ve had rain the past several days and with all the bentonite, the accesses to the fields is like gumbo....equipment just sinks.

Ready for the great reveal? I should have done this yesterday, but I didn’t. If you want an excuse, you’ll have to look elsewhere - I don’t have one.

I was looking for large tubs of bentonite clay when I was planning the earth bermed building I know live in. The bentonite panels which are possibly made near you were expensive and had leakage problems from the research I found.

Um, I’m not sure what to say. I guess any company can produce a flawed product. The bentonite around here is pretty high quality and the stuff goes out of here by the train loads. But since I have nothing to do with the mining, processing, or shipping, nor have I ever done anything with it other than try to get the wet gumbo off my car tires, I’m kind of at a loss.

Great, I can't recall which one I sent it to, but it wasn't the one that charges patients.

You have Chicken Tender Fever. Just get a bunch of fertile eggs and put them in the incubator. You will feel instant relief as soon as they hatch!

That is true!! Lol I’m actually planning on hatching quail soon!! So maybe thatll satisfy it.

Wow it looks great!!

Wow, Tam looks great! Fun getting to see the big reveal

X2

We’re On the road again this weekend. Gonna see how the new van does going over the mountains. (New? Shoot, it’s already been in for its 5000 mile check and has just under 6000 miles on it already.)

Curious to see how Tam’s residents handled her new look last night. They really don’t like change, and she respects that. Last year she argued with her supervisor, then went over her head because the super decided it “would be fun to have the staff wear Halloween costumes to work.” Tam didn’t mind the dressing up, in fact she’s always enjoyed it, but she said a nursing home and assisted care facility was NOT the place to have overnight staff in costumes. Residents often wake up and are a bit disoriented for a few minutes, and not to immediately recognize their care givers was just plain cruel. She also maintained that some costumes could hamper their movements in an emergency. She won. So she was concerned that the lady who likes to sit on the edge of her bed and brush or stroke Tam’s hair in the middle of the night to soothe her so she could go back to sleep (the resident, not Tam!), as well as the rest of the older people who are used to seeing her long pony tail might not be happy. So, we’ll see.

That is awesome she’s so concerned about the residents.

I haven’t talked to yet today....she doesn’t usually work Thursdays but last night she took a shift on a different pod for another CNA who was sick and couldn’t come in. Tonight she’ll be with her usual residents instead of with those who just see her occasionally. I didn’t think about that when I posted.
