Dead sheep and a dead truck

And another sunny day!!

The day started out with a dead ewe, and an AI breeding back in heat. Yeah, it couldn't have been better.
So I gave in and bred the doe ( daughter of the #1 Best Alpine milker 2005) to my milkiest buck Marvin (sire is full brother to another Top 10 Alpine milker). Oh well, that isn't a huge disaster.

We tried to start the Ford and almost had it but no go. I need to have my truck or the battery charger on it for a good long while.

I did manage to get the tractor shut off cable handle taken off and I'm about ready to attach the new one. The longer I have this tractor ( and the more things I fix/ replace) I might someday understand how the damn thing works. I already now know that the cable doesn't go to a carburetor ( it's a diesel) but to the injection pump.
And it was easier to get at after I pulled out the battery. Tomorrow it will start.

Ted came and took all my garbage to the dump..YAY!! Even some of the mess from the Grade B barn. It's time to do something about that building, I'm just pretending the ranch isn't for sale, as there is NO action on that front at all.

I'm watching the Dog Show, and just learned that George Washington was an avid breeder of American Foxhounds. Did not know that.
Oh and I have found a way to now get FOX back on the T V ( not a real loss in the first place..) and in about a month I will get ABC back, but for NBC and CBS, they are coming to install a free antenna, we'll see if that works at all. Nice try, though. I won't get to see the last episodes of Survivor. Dammit.

Next post: the joy of my new book from Lloyd Kahn and Shelter Publishing.
