THE SHATTING WENT WELL--- COURTNEY'S UNICORN PROJECT  HAD SOME FUNNY SIDELINES----I WISH WE COULD HAVE DONE MORE... JANINE COME UP WITH A SMALL WHITE PONY-- WHO MIGHT BE THE FATHER OF WHATEVER TEH PAINTED LADY IS CARRYING....-- HE IS NO LONGER  "FATHER CAPABLE" DUE TO A BIT OF  SURGERY... BACK TO THE HENS  TOOK A FEW MINUTES FOR THE HENS TO PRODUCE... BUT IT WAS A NICE DAY SO IT WASN'T PAINFULL---  these cp's don't miss anything... in bending over to determine the exact position of the shatupon winner... apparently the contents of my 2 back pockets amused some..  usually blue jeans show a wallet on one side.. in my case, i have that big victronox knife thing on one side and a measuring tape on the other.  with wallet and phone, that is the 4 everyday pockets... so there !! tape??  constantly... PLANNING SOMETHING....yesterday it waS THE DOOR ON THE TRACTOR THAT SHATTERED...--IT IS ONE OF THOSE SAFETY GLASS THINGS  YOU SNEEZE AT IT THE RIGHT WAY AND  IT IS IN 1/4 INCH PIECES ALL OVER--SO AS I WAS LEVELING PILES OF SNOW TO MELT FASTER.... I THOUGHT-- THAT IS THE SECDOND DOOR WE HAVE FRACTURED.... I WONDER IF MY FRIENDS AT BENTLEY WARREN HAVE ANY OF THAT SCRATCHED UP LEXAN FROM THIER LOADER.. FYI  ---EDUCATION WISE..LEXAN IS MUCH DIFFERENT / STRONGER THAN PLEXAGLASS ---AND ALSO ALOT MORE EXPENSIVE... LIKE $600 PER 4 X 8 X 1/4 "  WE HAVE ONE NEW PIECE - THE WINDOW FROM THE FEED OOM TO THE ARENA IS BRAND NEW.....- HOWEVER.... THE STONE AND GRAVEL STORE UP HT EROAD.. BENTLEY WARREN-- CHANGES THE FRONT WINDOW ON THEIR HUGE LOADER ONCE IN A WHLE... AND LONG AGO I SAW A PILE OF USED   LEXAN UP AGAINST THE BUILDING---  THEY LET ME HAVE THEM AND THAT IS WHAT LINES THE ALLEYWAY  BETWEEN KENNEL AN D HORSES..   TIME TO GO AND SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY MORE. I HATE TO BE FUSSY ... BUT I DO ENJOY THE AIRCONDITIONING AND HEAT IN THAT TRACTOR CAB.... I SPENT YEARS WITHOUT THAT LUXURY-- I HAVE SEEN MANY A TRACTOR WITH A PIECE OF PLYWOOD THERE.... BUT I  REALLY NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET SEEING AROUND SO I DON'T HIT THINGS. ***** NEXT PROJECT -- FENCING --I AM NOT SUER BUT I THINK GE IS DUE HERE  THIS WEEK FOR A COMMUNITY PROJECT...   WE HAVE 2--- RAKE SO WE CAN TOPDRESS AND SEED... AND THEN MOVE FENCES...-- WE COULD MAKE ALOT BETTER USE  OF TEH  LAND  IN SEVERAL PLACES... BEHIND THE ICU HOUSE - THE DONKEYA ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE UP A BIT OF THE AREA FOR A DOG EXERCISE AREA-- AND THEN THERE IS  TEH DEEAGLE HOUSE RUNS.... MY PLAN IS TO BUY 12   5'  PANNELS WITH A 30 INCH DOOR/GATE.... SO WE CAN GO FROM ONE PEN TO ANOTHER EASILY-- AND USE THE HILL BEHIND DEAGLE  BETTER...-- THEN MOVE THE FENCING IN "A" DOWN TO THE STREAM SO WE CAN STILL HAVE THAT GOLF CART AROUND   "A"  BUT HAVE THAT HILL  FOR EXERCISE... *** WHICH BRINGS US TO URINE  HAVING THAT INDOOR ARENA ALL WINTER FOR A RUN FOR THE DOGS WHERE THERRE WAS NO ICY FOOTING IS LOVELY...   BUT DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS WHAT TO DO WITH A 60 X 80 FOOT KITTY LITTER BOX?  AS SOON AS TEH HEAT PICKS UP... WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM--- SOMEONE IS GOING TO SAY  "ASK A PROFESSIONAL"  --- RIGHT !-----  I DON'T KNOW WHO IS AN EXPERT ON  URINE-- ONE YEAR I TRIED THE NURSING HOME  STUFF... AND ENDED UP WITH AN ARENA THAT SMELLED LIKE  TEH  COCONUT SMELL OF A NURSING HOME. AND LET ME TELL YOU -- THAT SMELL  HUNG AROUND TIL MID AUGUST  and was awful... KITTY LITTER -- THEY SAY   BAKING SODA--- BUT 60 X 80'   ??????? THAT WOULD BE 4000 LITTLE ORANGE BOXES.... IN STALLS WE USE LIME-- POWDERED  COVERED UP.......  I DUNNO-- THERE IS NO COVER   OR  RAIN  TO WASH THAT DOWN IN THE ARENA-- SO THERE IS A PROBLEM THERE... IT IS... OR WILL BE A PROBLEM YET TO SOLVE.   THINGS  LIKE ACID AND PH????? *************** BELLA AND GEORGE TODAY STARTED OFF WARM IN IN THE 60’S. IT WAS GORGEOUS. THE NIGHT NEEDED COLD AND IT’S GONNA SNOW TOMORROW . BELLA WAS HAVING A BLAST OUTSIDE TODAY. WE HAD SOME FRIENDS OVER AND SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH EVERYONE AND PLAY. SHE WAS ON HER 4-WHEELER RIDING AROUND WITH EVERYONE AND OF COURSE GIVING SOME RIDES! RUFFY WAS IN HIS GLORY HAVING A RIDE ON THE BACK. OUR FRIENDS KENNY AND DEEDEE HAD A BIG DOG THAT PASSED RECENTLY. THEY LOVE GEORGE. GEORGE LOVES SNOW.
