Okies in the BYC The Original

Dee I did a quick search and came up with this site. You may already have it but it looks pretty good.

I have four seperate tabs pulled up and am currently in just as many countries. So I guess I am wasting four times as much time. LOL

But on two of the sites it's already tomorrow so thats a total of 48 hours with just a couple of clicks.

I'm a master at wasting time.

You have one more tab than me. Although I think I have stayed state side!

I am looking at a hoop house......I am considering this for spring......I can already see I have more projects than I have time.

Our hoop house is cattle panels. Build a frame of the size you want out of 2x4s or whatever and then take cattle panels and form the half circle and staple to the frame. hog ring smaller wire to the panels and you are done in an afternoon.

My daughter's father has ADD/ADHD combination type and takes the highest allowed adult dosage for it. My daughter has been on the verge for a very long time. That's why certain foods and additives aren't allowed (because they can cause a borderline kid to fall over the edge). She and I have worked quite a bit on slowing down when she talks, speaking up (because it would be 100+ wps at a very low volume), not interrupting adult conversations, not interrupting telephone calls, being patient, waiting for other kids to catch up, etc. She plays soccer because her pediatrician suggested it as a way to help burn off excess energy.

While she doesn't have all the markers for a child with ADD/ADHD or the combination type, I keep a *very close eye* on her. Between that, and her father's mother being a rapid cycling bipolar who has refused medication most of her adult life (and lost custody of her own kids over it), it promises to be a very exciting time when my daughter gets a bit older.

Here is a site where their specialty is things like hoop houses and farm related buildings and equipment. It has good pictures that I have gotten many ideas from.

Good morning, Okies
Looks like a normal workday - after several days of vacation.
Everyone be careful while driving today. Supposed to be above 40 degrees today and then if BarnSwallow's forecast is correct - that we will get precipitation when the weather guessers say there is less than a 50% chance of precipitation, we may get snow tomorrow since the chance of snow is 40%.

It has been fun hanging out on BYC during the past few days, but now I am back to early morning and late evenings. Ya'll stay safe.

That's what I told J... I'm finally old enough that people won't just immediately brush off what I have to say
