The Old Folks Home

Around 2:30 am, I watched on camera, as a coyote left our property. Told Dh about it when he got home this morning. I don't think he really believed me, until he played it back, and sure enough, it was a coyote. Now, I will redouble my insistence on getting the front fence put up, and a dang gate.

Even if it was just a local dog Id want that fence. Dogs were a worry when I lived at home. They harassed my goats.

My horse would pancake them in a heart beat... she was deadly accurate with her front and back legs.

But I have had dogs chase and kill every one of my chickens...

Yep dogs have been my biggest predator.

I feel like the Beverly Hillbillies heading into those cities... Loved that show. Just recently heard of another one I never have watched but looking for it now streaming, 'Ma and Pa Kettle' can't believe I never saw it sounds like something my grandparents would have watched. DW said her mom had the series on VHS way back when she was a kid. Haven't been able to find it free streaming anywhere. Any of you all ever watch it?

That is from the book The Egg and I.
That was my grandmother's favorite book.

I am I had a Cardiologist appointment last week and she took me off all my Blood pressure meds except one that is still at half a dose. One I had been on for a very long time... Hydrochlorothiazide....

My weight loss has moved to a more sedentary pace but I am now solidly in the two hundreds at 297. Oh and I did some adjusting on my own. Gabapenton for me is three 100 Mg Capsules a day. I was already taking two at night. Nerve pain from Diabetes will be with me forever. But my dizzy ness was getting worse and really causeing me fear and depression.

So I gave it a week and went off my morning dose. From DAY 1 my balance was almost normal... and only got better as the week went by.

My stamina isnt there but one thing at a time.

Wow! Big changes since I last tuned in! What an ordeal, and not over, but ... wow!

The rate of reaction for vaccines is 1.34 per one million inoculations.

It would be unlikely that there would be a reaction at your event

But still ... I’m old school. There’s a right way to do things, so they should be done right.

I suppose the alternative is that fewer people get flu shots, and that is a problem, too.

We did a vet shot clinic from the car. I liked it a lot better than standing in the line with the cats at the pet store.

CVS at Target sounds like a good option this years since they give a rebate with the shot.

It is usually a couple of days from tearing up the nest box until you get the first egg.

Any day now!

Can’t be a moment too soon! It sounds like middle school recess out there. The chickens Do. Not. Shut. Up.

At least they are quiet at night!

We get ours in Chehalis at Rite aide they give them free or could use Walgreens

You should play a tape of LOUD chickens racket in the coop at night, so they got an earful of what it's like . Better yet , if you could find a Beatles concert tape with all the screaming - made me hoarse for life - no joke. I saw 4 of their concerts but, only saw moving "ants" from my seat. I do think it was the Beatles tho.

They had big screens around the arena but wasn't any better than watching on TV.
