The Old Folks Home

[ronott1]

Well, our garden is taking shape. One neighbor brought his tractor, and rolled back the grass. Another neighbor gave us a non-working tiller. He bought it new 14 years ago, used it twice, and let it sit in a shed every since then.

It cost us just under $200.00 to fix the tiller, but it's good as new. Our garden has been tilled several times now. Tomorrow, Dh will be raking out all the hay from the chicken coops, and tilling it into the soil. We will be planting a few things in it now, but we're mostly aiming for a fall garden.

Did you fix it yourself? Parts can be expensive

Ron, I hope the pipe isn't cracked too, but at least we know where to start looking for the problem.

Yes, Dh fixed the tiller himself. That was the cost of the parts.

Bath tubs worry me! It is hard to get under them. This house has two of them up stairs with wood floors. The one downstairs is on the slab foundation so I do not worry about it

SCG, You just need a pdf or jpg of it to size and print? I can't help but will be seeing someone tomorrow who can if you still need it then.

Oh, yes... please.

Took the dog for 4 miles, she acted like a jerk the whole time and almost broke her collar.

Now to clip the goat toenails.

I had to sew myself up once after cutting goat toenails. Those hoof rot shears are sharp and sometimes the goats struggle! My neighbor almost fainted when she saw the blood.

I cut one of the frogs too short this time and there's a ton of blood. Got it cleaned up and put the hoof heal coating stuff on it.

Time to go get unfilthy.

Always a thrill trying to clip hooves when the ground is wet/muddy/poopy and it's all crusted into and on their hooves. Makes it difficult to see exactly where to trim & also makes for nice infections when they jerk and you get stabbed with the clippers. Those clippers are very sharp and very pointy. Nearly clipped off the top of my ring finger with them one time. Was hanging by a flap... Used a bandaid to hold it back in place and hoped for the best. It did reattach but the feeling at the tip is different than it used to be.

oops.

nice you had stuff to patch it up.

But now you will have to hogtie her next time she needs a trim. bummer.

My goat that is due Wednesday has a funky hoof spot... I think it just needs to be trimmed once a week for a few months until it grows out... but we keep forgetting. -sigh- A bit of hoof wall broke off last week... cleaned it out, trimmed it up. dunno. Her other 3 feet are fine, the other 2 goats have great feet.

I use this stuff when that happens - https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Naylor-Hoof-Heel-oz/dp/B000HHO48U

I trim the nails once a week and squirt this stuff on the spot daily. Clears it up fast.
