I FORGOT.... BUT I GOT MY HORSE FED.....
how can i loose 10 gallons of hardware pieces???? let me count the ways.... i am minus. 2 5 gal buckets of hardware i bought to attach a horizontal pipe to the d puppy pen fence so it does not sag.... yesterday was teh day i was goin g to "install" tehm( i.e. figure that out) and needed 2.5 inch bolts. went to home depot -- got bolts and nuts to match. checking them out perfectly--- got home and the hardware was gone. i have looked in every building-- i am sure those 2buckets got stuck somewhere illogically ..by last resort... when i went thru the sorting of the hardware in the shade of teh oak trees-- i had mde a pile of stuff to go to lynn for chain link.... there is a slight chance she took those home by mistake... esp ... since i called her ansd she said she has 2 buckets of wierd stuff... i can only hope.

then there is teh 1" small brown screw....how do i decide who is good for what jobs around here??? let me count those ways....... this cowboy we seem to have aquired was just walking by the donkey cafe and hardly breaking his stride, bent and picked up a small screw off the stone dust....- and handed it to me--- you have heard me rant before about how a good farmer will keep his eyes on the ground--- watching for the tiny nut tht will make the front fll off the tractor... trying to think back qs to whan tht small screw could have landed in thAT PLACE... WOULD BE WHEN WE BROKE UP THOSE " RAIN TUNNELS " OFF KENNELS 1 THRU 10 AND CHUCK REPLACED THEM.MONTHS AGO... .. DOZENS OF PEOPLE... INCLUDING ME... HAVE WALKED, SWEPT, AND SHOVELED OVER THT SPOT -- SO HIS FINDING IT WAS... SOMETHING TO BE NOTED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE....-- SO NOW I KNOW....... HE KNOWS HIS HORSES... AND HE HAS A FARMERS MIND FOR DETAIL...
THERE ARE DETAILS TO ANIMAL MANAGEMENT THAT ARE LEARNED THE LONG AND HARD WAY......THINGS LIKE.......NOT RAKING IN FRONT OF THE BARN DOOR-- WHO. NEEDS TO???? ANYONE WITH A FRIEND WHO SMOKES,.... AND KNOWS YOU MUST NOT SMOKE IN A BARN... SO BEFORE HE GOES INT EH DOOR, DROPS HIS CIGARETTE TO THE GROUND.... YOU DON'T WANT A PILE OF HAY WELCOMING HIS BUTT.... SO IT IS JUST A HABIT.
WE HAVE NO SMOKING ON TEH PROPERTY AT ALL... --- BUT ... I KNOW...... OR I HAVE FOUND... 2 BUTTS VERY NEAR THE DOOR TO THE HOUSE.... SO HAY RAKING SHOULD JUST BE A HABIT.

THINGS CITY FOLK HAVE TO BE TAUGHT. THINGS....---- LIKE DON'T WALK IN FRONT OF A LINE OF MILK COWS--- THEY EAT OFF THAT FLOOR---

WHCH BRINGS TO MIND CHICKEN COOP FAULTY CONSTRUCTION...... YOU WANT A COOP DESIGNED SO YOU CAN CHASE CHICKENS INTO A FUNNELL WHICH HAS TEH DOOR TO THEIR COOP- CHASE EM IN- SHUT TH E DOOR- AND YOU ARE DONE. BUT TEH BABY CHICKE AND THEIR DOOR AE NOT PROPERLY ARRAINGED-- SO IT TOOK 3 PEOPLE CATCHING THEM ONE AT A TIME TO GET THEM IN THE SLIGHTLY WARMERN COOP...=-- THERE ARE 25 CHICKS OF DIFFERENT TYPES-- AND I NOTICED ALL THE HEAVILY FLUFFED ONES WERE RUNNING AROUND.. AND THE NORMAL FEATHERS WERE ALL BUNCHED TOGETHER TRYING TO STAY WARM AND COULD NOT FIND THE SMALL DOOR.. SO I WILL HAVE TO FIX THT TODAY..
THE GUINNEA HEN CHICKS ARE STIILL VERY YOUNG AND UNDER A RED HEAT LAMP IN THE ICU BUILDING-----
