Not much of anything, it was just to darn windy. It made me wonder if hurricane season was really over.
especially with the tight sound quality it also has and it is only going to sell for 129.00 Online.
Went to the body-shop and picked up my wife's not-so-new-anymore Honda.
They managed to get the $5,000 imprint of a white-tailed deer out of it.
Today's her birthday,....so I managed dinner reservations at the best restaurant in this part of the country this evening. :lol:
Pretty expensive day....... :crying:

We run a feedlot operation.
This morning I ran a pen of calves through the headgate, giving them their vaccinations and a parasite treatment.
185 head in a blinding snow. I had trouble keeping my syringes from freezing.
I have another 185 head to do this afternoon and then both these pens are done for awhile.
Its still snowing and 30F, with a stiff wind....its going to be a long afternoon.
In two weeks we'll run them through again and check for pregancies, abort the ones that might be preggers...and give the whole lot of 'em a growth implant.
Two weeks after that, the two 185 head pens will be combined and moved to one of the larger pens to begin their trip to your table.
All part of the exciting, romantic world of the modern cattle business. :wink:

Spending some time doing paper work at office, and the going back to house to get in a couple hours of woodworking in the shop. Many projects on the list, but I think I might make up a new pipe stand this weekend to handle some recent additions. All of this capped of with a bowl or two of something....not sure what strikes me yet. Oddly I have a craving for some SWR.
Met up with Strongirish and picked me up 3 nice Amphoras and a Digby .The wind was a bit blustery and with the wife in the car we had to cut it short . But we will get togather and have a nice smoke in the near future . Took the daughter to a Bday party ,then the wife and I had a nice lunch . Followed by a round paperback book buying at thrift stores .
took my garndmother to the Dr. We just made it home before the sky cracked. I guess we are receiving the gift that the windy week had for us.
Was going to ride my new dirt bike but the rainy weather put a stop to that plan. Got a replacement phone activated at the AT&T store but it is only a 16gig model and I have 20 gig of music to put on it...bummer. Surfed Craigslist repeatedly. Had a salmon steak, steamed mixed vegetable lunch. Now devouring a small chef salad.
Highlight of the day was playing Mattress Mombo with my voluptuous wife. I'm calling my stock broker on Monday and buying stock in the makers of Astroglide.

I was orderd by the wife to go and hang with the boys at the local B&M. So I sat there for 3 hrs talking about nothing important drinking some moonshine. I went for a walk around the shop looking at the new tins they had in stock seeing what might catch my eye. To think with my little eye I spyed 2 tins of Penzance. So I did my duty and donated my hard earned money to the store. Came home to the wifey making Homemade Clam Chowder ah life is good today!
Spent most of the day in my comfy chair today. Took a bit of a fall last night on the basement stairs and am slightly sore today.
Watched it rain most of the day. Went out to breakfast with my son and his girlfriend, then came back and wasted the day on the Internet. It quit raining about 4 and I went for a 3.7 mile walk. Just couldn't do anything productive today.
Got one Duncan. Mom insisted since I live in the backwoods by myself. Mostly injured my pride (and backside ) in the fall.
