Good morning! It's 64 and cloudy today, 30% chance of rain later. We were surprised yesterday when two more baby goats arrived a couple of weeks earlier than I expected. Mom and babies seem to be doing well. The other mom has so much milk (and only one kid) she was leaking milk onto the ground, so I milked her to relieve the pressure. Got nearly a quart and left plenty for the kid. She's going to be an excellent milker.
good morning!

55, clear and sunny at my house. I plan to work on a couple of radios, clean and organize my work benches, clean and organize my office and make a sweet potato casserole. But, as we all know, no plan ever survives first contact with the enemy! Plus, I have 6 cats so, there's that.

Loading pistol mags to hopefully go shooting next couple days. Want to shoot the Staccato C2 and the 642, got a case of 148gr HBWC to shoot up 🤣🤣 Have a funeral next week in Iowa & have to figure things out for that…….
Good morning, I hope. Running behind today. Been trying to get 2 premature baby goats to drink milk. Too weak to stand up and nurse on mom, so I've moved them into the house and trying to get them to take a bottle. One is looking better, the other not so much.

Seems appropriate for an Old Goat to be raising young goats! Hope your little one gets better! Terry (04-25-2024, 11:05 AM)specops56 Wrote:(04-25-2024, 10:19 AM)olfart Wrote: Good morning, I hope.

Gonna have to signal trace it to find out why it has no sound coming out when it should since I already restored the electronics. It's probably going to be something simple that I overlooked. It usually is. I haven't cleaned and improved the cabinet finish yet. Terry
Better morning! 69 and windy/muggy here this morning, rain expected a little later. I already fed the little weak goat that's in the dining room, and she's holding her head up a little this morning. That's an improvement. Yesterday she was limp as a dishrag. Her sister was reunited with mom yesterday and spent the night in the pen. She's up and acting like a baby goat today, so maybe she's good to go.
Next up will be to take a dog to the vet for a checkup/shots. She adopted us last week, and I haven't been able to find a home for her. Guess she's ours now.
