Good Tuesday Afternoon all !!!

Happy Birthday to Raim's baby !!!!

And you To Heather !!!!!

How Young are you now ?

I don't even know where to begin. Read all of the posts and don't remember squat other than
I WISH I COULD HAVE MADE IT TO THE BASH !!!!

When Amy called to ask if we were going to be at the white elephant I was Spread out in front of the fan....... NAKED !!!!

I am still so P!SSED OFF that we couldn't make it !!!

First off the fence is still not working. I think DH gave up on it. I need not mention he started way to late on the project. Last Wed when I came home from the laundry mat (I washed out sleeping bags) I thought he would have been working on the fence. No he had gone out and dug up 4 tamarak trees, 9 lilacs and 2 or 3 other pines. So I know he was excited to go to the bash to !!

He said he would get the fence done Thursday. He worked overtime everyday so he could get out early on Friday. Well, he did and started on the fence mid day. Finally I went out there and realized he was far from done. He had the wire getting tangled up like christmas tree lights. Frenchie to the rescue.

Then he couldn't find the crimpers to connect the wires so he was using the pliers and wire cutters. I didn't think that was going to works so I pulled as hard as I could (which is probally 1/100,000 as much as my drafts could pull) and they pulled apart. Thank goodness I had bought different connectors (I think ahead, he doesn't) the day before. So cut all the connectors that he had already put on and redid them. By this time it's evening. Then by the time we finally got all the wire up and connected it to the charger, he told me to touch the fence. I said no way. I always touched the other fence but I wasn't going to touch this 12 1/2 gauge wire. So he did !!! NOTHING !!!
I had suggested that we just hook up the charger to the fence that was up there but NO he said he wanted to do it right !!!!!

So in order to add the 12.5 g wire he had to cute and splice around the arches that went over 3 gates !!! Need I say more it was to late to just hook the charger up to the already existing fence that was already there (which he had never hooked up before).
So one thing snowballing into another by the time we were done wiring and hooking it up it was almost 2am. In the mean time I was in severe pain. At this time I was almost unable to walk. My prosthesis was rubbing and bothering me so bad but I kept thinkig it won't take to much longer. Yeah right.
Then came in the house, cleaned all my brooders, gave enough food and water for the next 1.5 days and before I knew it the sun was coming up and I took a shower and headed for bed. His plan was to get up and start working on the fence and feed and water all the other critters before we left for the bash.

Then there was this problem. He left work early on Friday so they handn't brought him his check up from Antigo.............. Dah think he would have thought to have gone and got it......... NO. At 4pm I said where's your check. He said probably in Antigo. Do I want to go get it (this was Friday) well I can't cash it and his boss was sponsering a crash derby so I said by the time I get down there he won't even be there. So Saturday I said why don't you go get your check and deposit it and get some cash for the trip. Well by the time he left and went to get it the bank was closed !!!! Here's another

just for him.
Oh and when he went to throw some wash in he came upstairs and asked how to get the washer going ??????? WHAT it was his washer before I met him, what in the H3LL is he talking about ??? Well it is the front loading type, it will fill with water but won't start tumbling now. His comment, cause WE (pointing a finger at me I'm sure) make to big of loads. Here's another one for ya

So anyway on Saturday when I got up it was blazing hot. I looked down at my thigh and I knew I had a water blister on it from working out in the heat on Friday but had no idea how big and severe it was. It was at least 4" by 1". The biggest water blister I have ever ever had in the 41 years I'm been wearing one !!!! GD when I say I'm in pain I'm in pain D@mn it !!! LOL Here's another one for DH

So needless to say I couldn't put my prosthesis on and still haven't. Anyone remember how much rug burns hurt, well multiply that times xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx It hurts and I'm no sissy !!!

THEN (and you thought that was all) I hop on the ATV and go out and check his progress on the fence to see if we would still be able to maybe make it to the bash late. MY ATV QUIT. When you go to start it it just clicks at a solonoid (sp). Nothing !!!!
So he goes and fetch's his ATV.
Finally he gave up on the fence and came in the house. I said do you want to maybe just drive down and sit by the campfire Saturday night and just come home afterward? Before I even could ask I answered my own question...... Nope, no money CAUSE THE CHECK DIDN'T MAKE IT IN THE BANK !!!!! Here's another one for ya !!!!

SOOOOOooooooooo I went back to bed...... Naked in front of the fan !!!!

Aren't you all sorry you asked !!!!!
I do have to admit I spent some extra money on Thursday buying DVD's (to make copies of dvd's), and a new GPS (half price on clearance) and a mixer to make my protien shakes, and a bunch of stuff to make green pea salad and kidney bean salad (all GF) for the bash thinking that his check would be DEPOSITED on Friday. So there would have been enough to get us there on Saturday, but maybe not home !!! LOL
BTW I did find and buy two jars of mayo and salad dressing from Aldi's. I was quite impressed that so many of their producst are now labeled Gluten Free as well as Lactose Free. They seem on the ball there. So anyone that needs GF and wants so save a buck or two shop at Aldi's
Anyway, yesterday (Mon) I decided I'll take dh ATV around the pasture and look for shorts in the wire etc. TG I came up towards the house for a drink, his ATV ran out of gas !!!! Still had to climb the hill on crutch's but wasn't as bad as hopping through the weeds and up the steeper hill. Called it quits for the day then. Ducks were in heaven though, I had left the water running all day then to both pools of water !!!

So no CC I wasn't arrested for doing any bodily harm to dh, actually there wasn't even much verbal harm !!! LOL It was to hot and I know he really was trying.

In the mean time I opened the door yesterday and my Belgian and two ponys are hanging out by the back door, along with two of the six goats and they were all standing right next to my Great Pyrenees. He is such a good sport of a dog!!!

Wish I had my camera then.

So once I heal up I'll be back in business, I hope it doesn't take to long !!! I want to plant pumpkins this weekend but don't want to do it with an open wound. I made the mistake of putting antibiotic ointment on the blister and putting a bandage on it overnight just to keep infection out, well took the bandage off the next morning and it took several layers of skin with it !!! OUCH !!!! Worse then when I started.

So you ask where is Frenchie ??????? LAYING in front of he Fan........... NAKED !!!

Oh and eating the GF pea salad I made !!! It was delicious !!!


Bl4 I'm so sorry to hear about having to put your kitty Squirel down. That is so sad and hard to do, I've done it several times now over the years. It doen't get any easier but you did the right thing by him.

Good Aft all! Takin a break. Picked Donny up from dropping off his truck and he was whinnin about some holes that needed to be drilled in his bucket frame that was just repaired so I went and did that. Had to warn him 4 times to get away or I'd hurt him. The guy that welded up his busted frame put a new mounting plate on it, [the holes were all wobbled out] so it was why don't you use the center of the old holes and drill them? And why don't you use a 3/4 drill bit for 3/4 bolts? And and and..... Donny go stand over there.... I'll take care of it. So he finally just watched and I explained what and why I was doing things the RIGHT way. Think he learned some things today. Oh ya the frame bolted right up with 13/16th holes. Waiting for a call to go get his truck. TO don't think about your foot so much there will be a new pain that will come along that will make you forget all about it. You too had a B'day not so long ago.

FT I think the whole story is a fabrication! Only because there was no mention of feathers. Sounds like one He)) of a week! Hope your blister heals! I could come over and pop it AND I'll bring my own salt, what are pals for?

Oh I forgot that part !!! I popped it with a feather !!!!!

Dipped in alcohol to sterilize. Apple shots alcohol !!!!

Hey CC next time you pray for hot weather for the bash can you at least just ask for 75 with no humidity for those of us who don't take the heat well ??? Pretty Please now that we know who's prayers get answered around here !!!

Doc You are one of my favorite !!!!

I was so looking forward to seeing you (among others of course) !!!! You are the only one I know that swears more then me (and Bf4m

)
I love you man !!!
When I ever get down to pick up my snowmobiles (have to get new tires on trailer first) I am going to come and see you, apple pie shots in hand !!!! Oh and on a cool day !!!!

I must love Bigz too!!! I dreamt about him this moring !!!!

He loved me (don't worry it was a clean dream) but he wasn't married and his girlfriend was TO !!! And he was leaving her for me !!!!! Hey TO

You may have gottent he white elephant but I got Bigz !!!! In my dreams anyway !!!
And the bash was at my house but it was the same weekend that my family decided to do an intervention with me and all of my animals.
They were also all here cleaning my house !!! Yeah, it was a dream and )only a dream. I get that duty all to myself !!!

Say does anyone with ducks and geese know when you can put the ducklings in with adult ducks and geese. My mallards are fully feathered and I am getting real tired of cleaning their pen. I also have 3 runner ducklings and two goslings that aren't quite feathered in so I will wait but does anyone know if the adult geese will harm them? I dont' think the ducks will but I'm worried about the adult geese.

It was the cutest thing yesterday. The pigs decided to take a dip in the small duck pool !!! Love my pigs

(no I don't mean you Dr Ha, I referenced you ealier, even if you are a pig !!

)

Oh and I soooo want that Chicken Ranch granite sign !!!! Maybe it was a good thing I didn't attend the bash, there would have been a fight over that I'm sure !!!!!

 

[Amyable]

Wow Frenchie, what a tale. Here's a

for you, and one more for

DH too. We all missed you but it must have been divine conspiracy.

Ok, I am not a Dancing with the Stars aficianado, but have watched a bit this season for Donald Driver. His and Peta's freestyle last night was awesome!!! Now I have Cowboy Troy in my head. Oh I really hope he wins, go Double D!!

Woke up around 2:30am 'cause Cartman was fussing in his sleep. My clock was out, his nitelite was out, power out, GAH! Boiled some water and made hot water bottles for the new chicks in the coop (thank goodness for gas stoves). Covered the bators with a blanket, but I don't know, they got down under 80. Power came back on at 4. No storms, did some dodo hit a transformer?? The WPS person said it was a large outage. More divine conspiracy, out of about 4 dzn eggs I have 5 chicks and 7 ducks. I am not meant to hatch this year.

Nice pics TO! That was Drpurl right after she knocked me in the head with that trumpet vine!

One of these days I'm going to give Julie a BYC tutorial so she can start joining us here...

 

[raimnel]

[MustLoveHens]

Afternoon all!
Just stopping in to catch up. Worked on the flower bed and it's all ready for DH to till one last time...It's taking forever since it's been so hot. I only work on it a little bit at a time so I don't pass out in the heat....I'll get it done....I even have decided that it will get a bird bath and I want a gazing ball too. Of I can find one I like...

Other then that, Aiden did good at the vet. He got his toe nails trimmed and blood drawn for his heart worm test...I got back tomorrow with Fred...

FT-Glad you posted! I was getting worried! Hope your leg gets better soon!

 

[Apyl]

FT- Wow, what a weekend. Sorry you had to go thru all that. I hope you heal fast.

Amyable- That sucks about the power outage, hopefully they'll be all right.

Well I unrolled our t-shirts DD and I made for 4-H. Eehh I'm not thrilled, I think I'll try one more time. We are trying to tie dye a 4 leaf clover shape and there is no tutorial anywhere online so I am improvising. Its close but not close enough for me. And we're suppose to wear them June 9th for our Brat / Bake sale. Other than that, I still havent made it outside beside to dump my kitchen compost stuff. I guess I should run out there and do something so DH thinks I worked on something all day

 

[Celtic Chick]

Cind, yes you should start working on getting yourself healthy. ASAP. Your hubby & DS would be lost otherwise.

I'm glad your kitty came home.

Ang, so glad to hear your kitty returned too!

Tom, it wasn't too comical cleaning it up. Unfortunately, it dawned on me after the fact that I should have just left it for them to deal with. You could clearly tell by its "ripeness" that it was in there for a lot longer than when we had it.

I have used newspaper & cardboard for weed barriers in the garden, then put straw or some other mulch on top of that. You could also try those garden staples to hold the cardboard down.

Raim, hope your DS has a great birthday!

Happy birthday, Heather! You're gonna be how old next year????????

Hmmm, I'm only halfway through Frenchies post and all I gotta say is "just another day in Sandiland"

We missed ya, Frenchie!

Gotta go get ready to watch DHs band play at the Denoon Saloon again tonight. I'll try to catch up later. Terri, thanks for posting your bash pics!
