What's everybody doing today?

[sonya123]

Turkeys are alive. Found I can handle 15 min at a time outside, then come in and warm up. Turkeys have fresh straw again, finished one chicken coop. Out to do another in a minute. Carrying out buckets of hot water. Can't wait for the weekend. Windy, slightly negative one out.

glad your turkeys are alive!
Our sheep seem to be waiting for the coldest weather...no lambs yet

WTH Elk, isn't the Abbott lady in a soap opera? Is she a widow? You've been inside too long. What is it with you and widows? (what if they were black widows ha)

well...i am just caring on about ashley and young and restless...why widow women...well at age of 59 many women i have ran into on trail hiking have been widows....they often offer up this information in passing conversation on trail...i was sorta shocked to be honest at just how many....this late in life you either are a divorced or widowed if you are someone i could have a date with...why..cause elk dont mess with married women...good way to end up in hell in the end and shot dead.

at a senior age theres few of population not been married or widowed...i know 2 on this forum...me being one...thees another i know of she can shout out if she wants too...oh wait theres 3...just recalled another...i think.

conversations go like this...hey how ya doing sure is a nice day to be out on trail and getting a hike in....yea it sure is...i been getting out a lot the last few years since my husband passed away 2-3-5 years ago...have a good hike see you later.

first time a woman told me she was a widow it sorta shocked me.....i see it more on trails closer to a larger town in my area.

it may be a way of an older woman opening up conversation to an older male...i dont know...i dont know much about women really and how they function...i rely on female friends for advice in that area often.....i failed so much in the past.

 

[Amish Heart]

That's so weird. I wouldn't volunteer that if I was.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Made it about 30 miles down the road and turned around. We had breakfast in town and came home. I rescheduled my appointment for April. It's still snowing and we're getting a little fog too.

Try not to look at it as fails...just practice runs..
I'd like to think the Universe has a way with divine timing for all our adventures and missions here ..I'm still trying to figure it out too ..it's a learning process right?

Because of the roads?

i think people offer it up a times to say hey i am single...most or many older folks are still married so theres that part too.

at our age you either divorced,widow/widower or been single and never married....we toss in lived together in that category.....majority in that order too.....we got decades of living where younger folks have not and most are single.

yea i learned a lesson or three for sure....sure you have as well.

 

[Hooch]

I've learned many ..some good..some not great but always exactly what I needed to know..
I like to think it's a set up for a grand adventure..one way or another :

the roads must be a real mess for you to turn around, that or the other drivers.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Because of the roads?

Partly. Mostly I just didn't want to go. I haven't been feeling too good since my last doctor visit.

 

[Tirediron]

it has warmed up to the temperature Pearl (I couldn't help laughing about not starting vehicles when it is this"cold") imagines is cold, it was around zero F mid morning, I have gotten a few things done this morning, cause i can wear gloves instead of trigger mitts . More improvements to the processor buck rack, and I need to improve a couple of little things on the unload end. then maybe more pictures

 

[Mountain trapper]

Actually there wasn't any cars on the road. I was really tired, not feeling well and didn't want to make a 12 hour day out of it. It's a good day to catch up on my sleep.

My truck doesn't have heat!! If I can stay home I sure as heck will!! It was 87° a week and a half ago, and these are record low temps here! If it were this temperature ALL winter, it would be different!! AND, I wouldn't live here if it was!! If you like cold weather, have at it!! I prefer 110°!!

It's all what you're used to. But hey, instead of our low of negative 9 tonight, it's now saying just negative 7. Better for the turkeys.

That's right!! I would never live in Canada, it's what I prefer!! I do have to say Amish Heart, Kansas has some of the coldest AND hottest temperatures!!

My adult turkeys do really well in cold temps even exposed. I always get worried they will get too cold when it's in the negatives but somehow they do ok.
They have a big coop and run..they have the option of going in the coop . Sometimes they do but mostly they just prefer to be on top of the coop.
I do however feed them a daily bowl of cooked rice, some almost expired canned veggie and a package of hotdogs on top of their poultry food they get. I load them up on calories to make sure their bellies are warm n full. I only have a few turkeys so it's not a huge expense to feed extra in winter.

I'm good with 75 or 80...with a slight cool breeze...can work in that and not fry..everything is beautiful in that..
Hot or cold extremes just are not nice..no no no..

Today, I spent time getting ready for another winter storm. We went to purchase propane and also brought some groceries. Yesterday, someone tried to rob my wife at Food Lion. Another man saw what was happening and helped, but the robber escaped. She said she didn't want to live in fear, so we returned to Food Lion today.

Kind of like here, if the A/C doesn't work in something we just try to drive something that does on Our version of hot days, if the heat doesn't work that is another thing.

I hope your wife is ok and wasn't hurt! I guarantee she will be way more aware of her surroundings from now on! Glad she went back and didn't let one jerk discourage her!!
