yeah, i think so

It does look like a snowglobe.

I’m glad you are taking him in

Hurl!! Not sure if that’s a real word

Never heard that before!

Poor guy! Hope he feels better soon!

We got half a cow from our neighbor a couple months ago. The meat was processed by someone he knew. Not sure what happened but they are not labeled right so I don’t know what is in a lot of the packages. It is very wet also as he didn’t let it hang very long. It’s hard to fry a hamburger as it falls apart because of all the moisture.

Hubs has developed a technique that I call slamburger. Forms the meat into a ball and packs it by throwing it hard from one hand to the other several times till it is a compact ball that he then forms into a patty. It has the consistancy and flavor of steak!

It is a vitamin. Costco sells it

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that's a part of the vitamin B family. It's also known as vitamin H. Your body needs biotin to help convert certain nutrients into energy. It also plays an important role in the health of your hair, skin, and nails.

Hoof cream is amazing. Softens your hands and strengthens your nails.
Mane & Tail has a lotion version now.

Oh and the creepy or odd thing is my dad heard coyotes howling outside and then not long after we heard some very loud geese flying overhead. Do geese even migrate this time of year?

Lot of Canadian geese don't migrate if there's food and good ponds.

I heard gees going over last week. I live on a stop along the pacific Fly way. They stop here for the night

My hands do dry out in the winter. When the lotion I have runs out, I will look for this!

It's raining hard on the metal roof and I'm lulled into a stupor. Barely able to keep my eyes open so will bid you all sweet dreams.

yup, required for bedroom circuits Jan 1, 2002.

Michelle you might find this article interesting.

Interesting.
Right now the problem is running a miter saw. The only outlet it works in is the fridge one, as it's not an arc fault. What a royal pain in the behind.

On another interesting note... I had power from my solar system run down to my coops in order to heat their water. I haven't used the outlet at all, yet the GFCI outlet keeps tripping. I asked the electrician about it. He said that once the batteries drop to a certain percentage of charge the outlets will trip.

We're back from the vet with Opie. Turns out he somehow injured his back, right upper leg and it's swollen plus he's running a fever.

The vet gave him 2 injections and I have some pills to give him over the next 3 days.

Hope that gives me back my sweet boy!

So glad you got him in to see the vet! Here's hoping that he recovers quickly

Forgot to add...as we were going in to the vet she was just finishing up treating another cat with the exact same injury!

Weird!

yeah, i tried one about a mile from the house that had taken over the business from his father, my opinion, hes a crook, i think he switched my beef for another, was suppose to give me my bones, liver, heart & tongue, he had my directions on how i wanted it cut and how i wanted packed per pound, nothing was what i wanted, when i asked about my bones, i got a box of someone elses box, with name on it, also toughest meat i've had in my life, my beef was young so should have been tender, to this day i will tell anyone i think hes a crook

I had a similar issue with a place around here. The guy that cuts our hay raises bison. We got a half a bison for our share of the hay. He took it to a place nearby to have it processed. I have never seen such teeny tiny steaks in my life! Given that bison is larger than cattle, something obviously sneaky went on. It too was tough, and had a horrible flavour. We ended up making dog food out of it.
