Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[jvls1942]

going to bed early again tonight.. I can't believe how much energy I had today with all the bed time I put in last night..

I picked up my nephew and he shoveled 3 buckets of deep bedding out of the guinea pen.. then I brought a nice big scoop of fresh chips up and spread them in there.. then I dragged up the 4ft x 4 ft electric brooder and replaced the wafer in it and got it set up in the guinea pen.. tomorrow the chicks will be transferred into there.. all 110 of them..they are all feathered out and don't really need the extra heat.. but if we should get some freezing nights, I will be ready..

then nephew rode the corn planter and we planted all 2 pounds of seed.. 14 rows.. as long as it was only 1:30 by this time I had him take the tiller and plow a trench and we replanted the whole row of potatoes.

I was going to put the tomatoes in, but with storm warnings out for tomorrow, why take a chance ? we'll prolly get hail..

Tiki, watch the sky for your chicken killer..

I had 3 more turkeys hatch today.. I had only 8 eggs due, so we are doing really good on this hatch.. have 8 peahen eggs due on the 27th..

Brent! Get off the send button!!! Holy cow, there must be a glitch with BYC, you sent me 15 PM's!

Well the DH has gone and done it now.... he bought a TRACTOR!!!! WHERE DOES HE THINK HE IS KEEPING IT???? WE live on a 60x120 lot!!!!

Anybody have a horse for sale? If he has lost his mind and is buying tractors, it is only fair I can FINALLY get my HORSE!

He's keeping it at the farm where you're boarding your new horse.

Ha! Good one!

If you were closer BL4 we could keep your tractor AND board your horse...

HA! one of the family farms is in Cassville..... my FIL's parents used to own a little country store/gas station at the corner of HWY 130 and JJ (that little triangle of land) in Lone Rock.

BigFam, I have always loved the countryside in that area of the state. The only problem for me would be finding a job.

It sucks being farmer-wanna-be's......

BL4 You can keep your tractor and horse here,, I will see to it that both get used.. and you can visit them any time you want to..

Today, Annie told me that I should look into getting the tractor motor rebuild kit for the Oliver 55. I have been wanting to do that for a couple of years, but was afraid to bring up the subject.. I guess talking with the neighbor about him doing his, made her think of it.. I think the kit is about $750.oo
Then I would need help doing it.. I can see $2500.oo before it is all done.. but then I would have a very nice tractor when it is finished..

Obviously, if he's anything like my DH, the tractor goes in the garage

We built our house 12 years ago. I have a 3 stall garage, a single stall garage, and a large hoop style building (can't think of what it's called at the moment). My vehicle has never seen the inside of one of these buildings. One of these days I'm going to have a very large garage sale

Sounds like a plan to me!

Hey Heather, I even brought us a box of Sangria, and we never even got to open it. That is just soooooo wrong!

I say we send the hubs & kids to bed early.

CC, I would have totally helped you with that box of Sangria!!!!

I would have TRIED anyway! Truth is I'm such a lightweight it isn't even funny. And at events like this one I poop out early! Is this why everyone else takes the party so late? Y'all are too sloshed to stand up and get to yr sleeping bags? So you start singing....

Really, though, if the serenading isn't already a tradition it should become one.



RIGHT, BL? >snort< yeah... try to make 50 Shades into a movie... so who's your Christian? Mine is Cillian Murphy, but he's 35! Too many years on him! lol Isn't some of the writing terrible?!?!?!

Tiki, sorry to hear about your chicken... hope you find out who the culprit is

Hugs to you too Vicki.

Ok, so, I had to run into town this morning to pick up the last plants I needed and decided to stop in at the "big" Walmart in Rhinelander. Went into the pet department to check out puppy treats and what did I find? A fairly decent quality 40 lb sack of chicken scratch for $9.98!

Last time I was there they had fish tanks in that spot now they had bags of scratch, layer crumbles, a few small chicken things and a some horse stuff. At Walmart? Really????

Vicki- My sister in law has a Wallyworld near her and they sell livestock items, kinda like farm and fleet.
But only certain ones, it seems you have found one like hers.

I am tired, my arms ache, my body aches. And I had to use a rescue inhaler before I got started, AND I am out of
allergy mes.. I used one of my benedryls. It seems to be wroking fine.
I got three truck loads of hay, PILE really really high then held down with a tarp. I use a snowmobile trailer, and made two trips with that. And finally since the snowmobile trailer was gone, I askd my barn owner if I could use her hoirse trailer.
Got that filled and just in time, i was back down at the farm when the fertilzer truck came to fertilie that field.
But I did get enough hay to feedd them at least 2 weeks.

BF4Me- I have 4 brooders going, and a pen of young stock that were hatched out a LONG time ago.. out at the barn.
IGronk tired.., me sleep now!

Oh, I forgot to mention.... I actually SAW a pair of guineas do the 2min. drill !!!

Guess they do do it!
