Opa, sorry about that! I still can't hear any real sound in my right ear, except in the mid-range! And the ringing,
Hickory, that a very pretty area- I haven't been there since my late teens, so I guess it's grown a bit. My uncle, Dr. Carter Sinclair, was an old fashioned country doctor...
Okay, Harlan wants an update, but first, good job on the blog, scbatz!
I went out yesterday morning and did several head counts. Mostly came up at 22 , but I only have 21 in that pen, so I finally settled on okay, they're all here again.

Thanks, hun. DH gave me some, but he hit 70 hours tomorrow, so I sent him back to bed. I can't hear a darned thing right now.
