Granny's gone and done it again

[h2oratt]

fell asleep in my sucker chair. going to bed now. What the heck is a urinal on the wall? love yall Gnight

well trying to fix the shut off valve was sort of a bust.

Picture this.

Me with 2 five gallon buckets and a foot in each one (with shoes and barley wedged in) top third of my body and arms completely inside the large pvc pipe cursing and praying that I don't drop a tool as it will never be seen again.

Erv got the giggles, that a 6 ft tall man could actually stand inside said buckets.

got it sort of apart and then off to town , 35 miles on way. Menard's was out of 3/4 inch shut off valves like I needed. So another stop then stopped at motel to get a couple different tools. NO water for a animals since last night OTHER then what was in the creek and stock tanks, Yaks were fine but those poor chickens. Had to take the valve apart and thins were looking up BUT OH NO I can't get the new valve threaded back on. So put the old valve on run up turned on the well and watered all the chickens, went back down and "giggled" the valve handle and for the most part the water has stopped in the one tire stock tank. GOOD THE FARK ENOUGH !!!! was 95* and I was shot. I really don't need this tank until about August when I separate out the golden bull and my 5 home raised/bred cows/heifers. Brought in eggs 7 days and about 30 dozen eggs HUMMM the week I was driving out and doing them I averaged 7 dozen a day. SO Rod some how has managed to cut production down of 12 dozen eggs a week. NOT AMUSED !!!

Been going since 6:30 am and my hamstrings are NOT amused either.

Good night Twist. You know it's not healthy eating one meal a day.

Actually it is healthy to just eat one meal a day.

Oh yes. You have to have AC, and not just for the temps and humidity but to filter the pollen and mold. I never had allergies before. Now I am on something like 5 allergy meds, year round. Eye drops, nasal spray and 2 or 3 oral meds. Just to breathe and not have sinus and ear infections. We live in the forest and the trees are covered in lichen or moss or mold, I don't know. I'm cold all the time, winter and summer. We keep the AC on 75 during the day, 73 at night and I'm freezing all the time. Low thyroid. I sleep with an electric blanket, lol. DH is always sweating! He probably has too much thyroid! But I won't complain, I joke, but I know God brought me here and I'm so blessed!

Oh, after being in NM, the allergies must be fierce there! My hubs and I are always off on the temps too. Now we are older, we have switched... he's always cold now.
My youngest has pretty bad hay fever and he chose to go to school in Montana. No allergies there. He loves it!

Lol, your dad's a curmudgeon! Sounds like a hoot.

That's putting a positive spin on it!
He definitely has mellowed some, so that's nice. He and I get along okay and my brother and sis live near too, so there is back up if it's ever needed.

I want to hate mr krusty Krab but he’s just so darned photogenic.

You are such a softy, Pro!

Is Crusty a fiddler crab with that overgrown claw?
Does your DH talk to him?

Can you have snacks?

Can you have snacks?

No, every time you eat your insulin goes up. Eating once a day your insulin only goes up once a day. The rest of the time your body burns up the glycogen , then goes to your fatty liver and burns fat.

I spent a year in Hamilton, MT in 1974 when I was 21. Winter was brutal but that summer we backpacked up to Tin Cup Lake, pigged out on huckleberries and caught some humongous trout! I picked huge Lambert cherries at Flathead Lake area, oh so sweet! Oud friends had a sauna on the Bitterroot near Hamilton, what a treat, we'd steam in the sauna then dunk in the river, even when it was iced over! I treasure those memories. I got pregnant with my son there. ❤

I thought if you don't eat carbs, you don't have the insulin spikes.

Sounds wonderful. My #2 will be in Bozeman, about 4 hrs from Hamilton. I haven't seen much of MT yet. Several years ago, hubs took the boys to Glacier National Park, they hiked to the continental divide, and drove up into Canada to Lake Louise. I figure I have 3 years to poke around up there while #2 finishes college. I can borrow my car back from him if I fly up for a visit!

Sounds wonderful. America is so amazing. There are beautiful places to explore everywhere you go! Well folks, it is after midnight here so I am going to shut down and try to get my beauty rest. Sweet dreams to y'all. Sleep tight and don't bite the bed bugs! ❤

There's so much of the US I haven't seen. Good friend of mine just bought a small RV. That sounds like a good plan to me!

Goodnight everyone.
