Hi Jacob,
The old adage to make hay while the sun shines fits here. I think you took the adage to a whole other level! You are doing such a great job, seems like there must be two of you.
I had a sheep farm in S.C. for a few years, and really loved it! Missed my calling, I think. But, I did hear that goats will "try" fences, and all the stories about them getting out. I used to feed a little grain every day just so they would come when called with the grain bucket. Did you get Saanan goats? Great milkers.
Looks like you'll have your hands full all summer tending that many plants. A fun job I'm sure. You won't have to worry where your next smoke is coming from for awhile, lol. One plant last year has given me enough to smoke until the next harvest. So this year, I have 19 seedlings and clones ready to transplant outdoors, lol. Should get me by!
Holler at us again when you get a few minutes. Hope your body is physically up to the task.
Heya Maineiac Bud
Listen here the hay is being made in absolute haste round here.
Actually took a fishing day today. Gotta lil 14 inch Smalley first cast. Fished for nother 20 minutes or so n i just cut the fool for the rest of the day, n got loose with Meghan her brother n his lady out on the lake. Hadda few brews n smoked like some Navajo Indian chiefs. Great day. Great !
Back on farm time n the morn.
Body's feeling right. Sore but right. Appreciate your concern, thanks bro.
Hahahaha
you got me rolling with them goats "trying" the fences. I rolled out a temp pen for em n they were great for two days. Then early yesterday one of the momma milkers for her head through a lil bitty hole n she shot out that pen lika rocket.
Now,
I had just woked up n hadda cuppa canna joe n smoked a lil skinny j not ten minutes ago n just read in the goat book, no shit, that if you're goat gets loose n you gotta catch it always grab the hind leg.
If you get one of the fore legs first, n she's on the run, you could break it.
No good there.
So as I'm half running n strategically falling to the rear of the goat I have a hitch n the brain pan, was it foreleg or hind ?
Shit,
so I fall down behind this goat on my hands n knees n she stops right n front of me n looks at me n shakes her head n bleets like she's laughing. I hadda laugh bro.
Fun fun, fukkin fun, I'm having. For real. Life is great right now. Seems like I'm on a ride that's going somewhere spectacular.
Oh yeah these are Nigerian dwarf goats. Here's a couple shots of the babes. Adorable lil buggers
Getting round two quarts of milk a day. Hell yeah I say. N these babes will be the best milkers ever come next spring. Meghan had a nurturing side that is amazing with animals. N I ain't no slouch either. I get em n I like to think they get me.
Now I gotta say that your going from one plant to round twenty this year has me happy as a fresh clam for ya Bud. I love that we can do what we do, today.
Best times ever. For me anyhow.
Okay I gotta split. It's late night n I gotta get up kinda early.
Holler at ya soon Bud.
Hope you're well n health.
How ya been after those surgeries ?
Okay bro I gotta stop by your journal soon. I ain't trying ta be rude just busy as all get out.
