Geddy very concerned that Dad killed his Dragon…..(time for cleaning)

 

[RCW]

He wouldn’t leave his Dragon. I had to clean it with him underfoot….

Reunited and it feels so good

There’s a few folks here with Harman pellet stoves, and a couple have XXV like ours.

This one is about 17(?) seasons old and has had almost 100 tons of pellets through it. Still burning very well with regular maintenance and component replacement.

Excuse the sheet rock dust, we recently finished a house project and start another in two days….

My boy loves his morning walks to the creek.

The pups are pooped…I guess the broke them yesterday. We had a full day of boiling sap into the evening yesterday. This morning they are barely able to mooch some deer bacon.

I'm sitting here eating a deer burger right now and as good as it is I can only imagine how much better it could be with some of that bacon on it and pretty sure my buddy wouldn't mind either.

What a week. It began with a kid going too fast down our street, losing control, taking out a corner of our fence before slamming a tree. They were ok but the new to him truck was totaled. Then we lost internet. Fought with ATT for a week. While I was at the neighbors to call ATT (no cell without internet--need an extender), we received an Amazon delivery. The driver was "driver chating" to her next delivery as she left. She did not wait for the driveway double gate to fully open--she drove into it destroying one of the panels and the controller. Repair estimate is $8000. It took five days for the internet repair. I told them it was the line but they said it was the modem. They sent a replacement. When that didn't work, they sent a tech. The repair took 15min. We were lucky enough to have the only cable chewed by a mouse at the demarc. But the worst came Friday into Saturday.

I delivered our new foal in the wee ours of the morning on 2/12 during a severe storm. Deivered, eh, more like pulled out. She was the cutest little thing--healthy, thriving playful, friendly...

Friday at noon, she became lethargic. By 3pm, she could not stand up. At 4pm, we rolled her onto a blanket to lift/carry her onto the horse trailer and took her to the equine hospital. They did lots of tests-bloodwork, ultrasounds, etc. and could not find anything wrong with her or the mare. She had one elevated liver enzyme (GGT) but that is common in foals this young. She survived the night but died in our arms the next morning. It was less than 24 hours from thriving to dead. This one hurts.

That’s too bad. I am sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear about all your troubles recently and sympathies on your loss of the foal.

 

[tbk5]

Thanks all for the kind words.

Leo felt bad for me. He always cheers me up!

LOL--he actually climbed on and became a 100lb lap dog.

Dad’s grating Pecorino Romano…woke me up from my snoring slumber…

I love Pecorino Romano….

Excuse the dirty floor mat, we are in the middle of a house renovation. Place is pretty messy.

New addition to the hunting party

I love the serious look that he has on his face. Bet that he can't wait to get out in the field and start working. He is a very handsome looking dog.

A little off topic….but the carving is a German Shepherd Dog.
This girl has some amazing talent with her chainsaw carving and wood working.
