Hey guys, sorry for not posting for so long. Wow, I missed 250+ pages of posts.

I've been busy with the flocks and gardens and winning a bkue ribbon at the fair for my chicken Estella.

Congratulations DK your chicken looks great!

Very nice garden boxes. I hope you got plenty of good eats.

@Latestarter - sometimes, you just have to think outside of the junction box to get the job done, eh?

Got the wheelbarrow tube replaced with a tube of the correct size, this time. It's crazy - I could buy a whole new wheel, rim and all, for just a little bit more than the tube cost. Though this tube came with that flat-fixing goo already in it, so maybe it won't go flat as easily.

Thanks. She says the ankle is actually more sore than the knee, believe it or not.

Though today, it's Sunny's turn to be sore. We think my mare Latte got cranky and kicked her during the night. There aren't any marks (I've seen as many as a dozen hoof marks on Sunny when the Big Blond corners her in a stall) but she is favoring one leg this morning. Would somebody remind me, WHY did I think I wanted anything to do with horses?

Ah! You had extra money in your pocket... And you kept thinking it would be more fun to be in debt... So you got horses.

Ummmm.. horses churn out more fertilizer than chickens and horses are easier to ride to the store?

Hey Double Kindness

Congrats on the prize winning chicken.

Welcome back, DK! Very tidy looking garden you've got there.

Funny, Alaskan.... but true, too!
Man, if I had my horses' shoe budget I'd be stylin'

Latestarter congrats on getting your plumbing/electrical/dishwasher issue resolved. Must feel great to not only have it done but know you did it right yourself! e
DK congratulations on the blue ribbon! VERY WELL DONE!!!!
Bunny, part of the reason I don't have horses any more is so that those mystery issues don't pop up any more and I don't have to worry about finding hay in the middle of winter. I will admit there are times I look at the empty barn and miss them but I think if we have the craptactular winter the farmer's almanac is predicting, I will be happy I don't have them.

Anyone have fun weekend plans?

Nap as often as possible, eat, nap more and eventually stay up long enough to see "Black Mass," at the show., then try and touch bases with the BYC folks. It's all the fun I can handle in the fast lane.
