He has a friend he hooked up with in Chicago so he just had to pay for his flight from Minneapolis to Chicago. (His first plane ride and he admitted to being a little scared...he’s fearless!)She picked him up there and they are meeting her friend in Odessa. No motel costs:DIt’s a chance to see something new. He likes the open road.

I think that's great your son is exploring when he gets the chance! The world is a big place and there's a lot to see out there. Hope they get his unemployment straightened out. And he's going to LOVE the beaches!

Hi all :frow

I hope that everyone is have a wonderful Christmas and Chanukah season!

@CapricornFarm I need your help (and anyone else that has ideas).

I have 2 whethered goats. Kiko/Boer crosses. They're around 8 months old. One has always been shy, but the other has always been super friendly, loving scratches etc. On Monday he started pushing me with his head. Tuesday he was giving me head butts. Now he's full out ramming me to the point that he won't let me go anywhere. Any ideas what's going on and how I can get him to stop?

use a short piece of PVC pipe... Schedual two if you have it thicker wall. about two to two and a half feet long. Poke him in the shoulder or tap him on the nose. This is not punitive but tells him to keep his distance. I had to do that with mine because they would mug me for Chicken feed.

I never feed my animals treats from the hand or a bucket that is in my had they have to wait till I dish it out... Same goes for the horse. I dont even feed Carrots from the hand... I break them up and drop them in a bucket hung on the fence.

pushy animals can become dangerous. so nip it in the bud now. When they see you come out with the pipe in your hand they will keep their distance till you ask them to come for a scratch.

Boar goats and crosses get big and beefy. NOW is the time for redirection training.

I am sure Cap may have better advice.

Good Got some actual packing done for the move... threw away more than I packed Stuff that was actual trash and stuff that I wont ever need again. Felt good. Used all my boxes though Had to go buy some more yesterday.

Filled six boxes sized for books. This way I can fill something fuller than I can lift. Bought fifteen more... Hope to pack the rest of the kitchen.. and most of my accumulation around my computer... Pills and Literature and "Stuff"...

I already have a boat load of plastic crates with the flip top lids Through out the computer area and in the garage... So those are done have been done for several years now. I should go through them.. but it will distract me from the job at hand.

OH and I found my stainless steel Bracelet I made more than a year ago and it has inspired me to make a bracelet for a friend. I will post pictures of the end result on my Jewlery thread when I am done. kind of excited to do a few last pieces before I pack.

I owe someone else a restring of a necklace she broke. I Cannot do strung beads on cord I am going to wire rap the beads for strength

The little fella (or maybe lady?) was certainly on a mission lol crossed the little walkway and was moving pretty fast. Wanted to get a picture when it was in the path as it would have been clearer without all the brush but I was too late lol but it did freeze when it saw us which is how I got the first picture but after a few moments of us standing still, it realized we weren’t a threat and back up the dunes it went. It was moving surprisingly fast for a tortoise! :lau
