Morning farm report: Rich, you are a proud new great-great-granddaddy. Morgaine had a little baby girl during the night. 
I hope that cream helped, because I think you can guess what we'll be doing today. Yup, getting that fence fixed. Until then, we have "wild range cattle" on the loose. It's fine, though, I'd rather not have to mess with trying to milk Morgaine until her hormones subside, anyway.
I was checking her over last night, and I saw NO sign she was about to calve. I hate it when that happens. Luckily, she has a healthy, bouncy, BEAUTIFUL baby and there were no problems, so it was a nice surprise, but still... I like to know beforehand.
Sneaky cows...

16 days early. When I was talking to her at evening chores last night, she was begging for some attention (the "please pet me" kind, which is fairly rare for her) but there was absolutely no indication she was anywhere near popping that calf.
The new Ouchie Fixit Stuff worked fine. Well, I rubbed it on that cramp and then the remainder of both legs. Before I was done, the cramp was gone. Coincidence? Or miracle cream? I had no additional cramps at any time during the night and there were no chills either. Coincidence? Or miracle cream? In any case, we will do our damnedest to get the cow pen and foyer fencing done today.
Any of you guys want these juices?
I’ve tried it and it’s just not to my palate.

- Model-T is from TheSauceLA and it’s 3mg
- OMvapor is 1.5mg
LMK I can mail it out tomm.. also gonna be heading to New York mid week so won’t be around then
So what do they taste like? I have never heard of them.
Hmm.. the Omvape is a little light with a hint of hazel nut
The other is sort of a green tea with a sort of smokiness..
Want em?
While I am into trying new things, I think you sent me the last items you wanted to get rid of, so maybe someone else should have a chance to lay claim before me. Keep me in the background in case no one else wants them.

Okay. I’ll check back in later tonight to see if anyone else is interested..
Are you sure it isn't something you ate? Like bad Chinese take out?
No, it's been coming on for about a week now.
Drank warm moringa, cayenne, and cumin tea all day, feel better tonight.
Cayenne and Cumin?
Yech.
Yech.
Feeling better is great. Now BE better.
I forgot all about my special tea brew I drank when I had pancreas problems, the herbs are nothing short of a miracle. I would bet they could cure cancer, with a few other ingreds.Feeling better is great. Now BE better.
I like miracles. So mix it up and drink some. We want all our Old Pharts to be healthy.
Only thing I had today, all day long actually. A couple of the teas I added cinnamon stick, clove, and staranus to the moringa curry and cayenne, really does the trick, hopefully a couple more days of teas minus food I'll be back to normal.
The little calf appears to be just fine, but her mommy is having a hormone overload (this is her very first baby) and is charging anyone who comes too near her child. That will subside in a couple days and we'll be able to handle her with no fear of being head-butted.
Lannie and I rebuilt the foyer fencing at the cow barn today and will do more tomorrow (cross fence and maybe part of cow pen). Watching Lannie stagger back to the house after all that work, I thought I was watching a movie of myself. Back and shoulder pain is not fun. I think we are both too old for this crap, but it needs to be done, so.......
Wish I lived in the vicinity, always loved helping others on farms. I remember when I was about 12 yrs old. An old farmer in his 70's was baling hay, the old method naturally. The old baler would push the bales onto the wagon and the old man would stack the bales while the wife drove the tractor. I helped him numerous times load and unload the wagons. Then I'd go in the hay mow and stack the bales for him. Damn he appreciated the help, didn't have any money to pay anything, nor did I want any, nor expect anything. I just thought it would help the old guy and his wife out. Every kid should help a farmer for a summer, gives a good perspective of what a hard days work actually is.
When I first started working for farmers picking up hay, onto the trailer, off the trailer and up into the hay loft, I think we were paid 50 cents per hour, but the lunch (dinner to them) his wife made and fed to all us little worker bees was bigger and better than Thanksgiving every single day. THAT is what I appreciated about helping the farmer. Seems like today, however, the harder I work, the less I want to eat anything. Must be old age...
Like you, however, I also did a lot of work at my neighbors' farms for no pay. Well, there was pay... it was called knowledge and experience. Maybe that was why I studied science so seriously in school...
who the hell wants to do all this damn hard work for a living when one can do something easy, like calculating surface integrals and running calculus equations through the slide rule?

Yeah, I learned quickly, dairy farming wasn't my gig.When I first started working for farmers picking up hay, onto the trailer, off the trailer and up into the hay loft, I think we were paid 50 cents per hour, but the lunch (dinner to them) his wife made and fed to all us little worker bees was bigger and better than Thanksgiving every single day.

Given that the chickens outnumber the dairy cows, maybe we should be called a Chicken Farm... but the feral cats keep having more and more babies and it won't be long before they outnumber everything and we'll be running a Cat House... good thing I am a Cataholic....
That is one animal I really can't stand, cats. When I see them burying their shit, then jumping on people countertops and dinner tables, that just makes me what to go loco.
And the dogs eat shit, then come and lick your face...
Not mine...nor do I have a dog either.....
So, am I to assume you have never had any animals in your life? Nor a girlfriend who might have sucked your XXX and then kissed you? Or eaten at a fast food place where the moron snowflakes routinely spit on your hamburger? Or a Chinese restaurant where many food components are left out on the counters all night and have mice walking on them? And those eggs you had for breakfast? They fall out of a chicken's ass. All I am saying, Dale, is that life cannot be expected to be sterile. Don't like a cat walking on your table? Don't eat off the table - eat off the plate instead. We wipe down counters and tables, etc., quite regularly.

Lannie's computer died a hard death. Don't know when it will get fixed because the nearest repair place is over 100 miles from here. If you need to get in touch with her, maybe she can use my computer once in awhile.
Wassup!
Hey Choder. What's happening?
First, you had to replace yours, and now hers is toast? Something smells fishy. Winblows might have sent a code to make sure everyone has to suffer the indignities of Winblows10. I remember when that was done to older cellphones, to force people to upgrade.
Not much here.. getting ready for a trip to NY..
Hope everyone has been doing well
Not much going on here either. Just waiting for cooler weather, so we can get shit done outdoors.
Hehe is super humid here with a flash flood warning after hurricane passed.
In both cases, it is hardware problems. Lannie's, I believe, is likely the power supply. Now that is not to say the Windoze Gawds cannot make that happen from afar... just unlikely... Oddly enough, we both had eMachines computers (my OS was XP, hers was 7). I'm gonna try to get hers fixed, but mine is pretty much garbage.
I'll loan you some of ours. High temp here was 56 today, with high winds. Had to wear a coat because it felt like winter just arrived, and if I'm not too far off, I believe we still have over three weeks of summer remaining.
I have one of those emachines thingamabobs with Winblows7 on it, out in the shed, just in case I need it. A friend sent me the money to buy it after my gaming computer bit the dust. Motherboard got fried. I'll drag it out before I grab the Winblows10 laptop. It's hard to use something that updates 24/7 for over a week, and I can't turn off those updates without shutting off the laptop for good.
I have a friend who says he can tell me what programs on Win10 to shut down to eliminate having Mr. Gates' Domineers controlling your every move. After I get it all set up and running and try his methods, maybe I can share it with you if it works.
That would be awesome. It would be even better if I could install and use some ancient photo editing programs I have. When I tried to install them, they were not supported, due to Mr. Gates deciding we should have to buy all new programs that do not work as well, and are much more limited, for a much higher price.
I might get software that claims to be compatible, but Mr.Gates will never be able to force me to buy his software ever again. There is always someone who makes a competitive package (though I suspect the ancient version of PhotoShop I now use might not work anymore).
If it's Photoshop 7, it won't work. Neither will the ancient Ulead Photoimpact 4 I use. My Winblows7 and Winblows8 computers can still use them.
Yup, PhotoShop 7.0... so it won't work on Win10 but will on Win7? Well, if I get Lannie's computer fixed rather than replaced, maybe I'll just load photoshop on hers. She doesn't come down here to the dungeon at night, so it wouldn't be an inconvenience for me to use hers.
If it's just the power supply, that's a small issue. Is it possible the hard drive from your XP will fit the Win10? If so, you can try that out, and still have all your work, and software.
Now that is true love to let her use your computer.
If the power supply on the XP ain't fried, and matches the one in the Win7, you could prolly swap those out, and save a bunch.
Wary interestink... but vut a quivk vay to void da varantee...
I have a great MB if interested.

I wonder how good that warranty would be if you remove the shit that makes it update all the time. There ain't nuttin' like wanting to check your messages, but have to wait for at least 6 hours of updates.Wary interestink... but vut a quivk vay to void da varantee...
