I never would have believed it but Ted got the tractor running. It is now off of exile island and safely in the barnyard. From the battery to the starter the dang thing really started. The odds seemed so against it.
I am awestruck.

After that Robyn showed up, so while Ted tinkered some more ( it doesn't want to clutch) I was up on the roof patching against the impending rain storm, and Robyn and I chatted.

Finally tonight, Tippy had her kid. A huge black ( like both Tippy's dam and sire) buck kid. Tippy has a gorgeous udder and I milked out a good amount of colostrum.

It was a very very good day.
