Well, I had energy for only one excursion to the barnyard today. Did evening feeding. Annoyed that MORE meltwater from the eastern ridge ending up in the horse shed….after we covered the last ice incursion with dirt. Tossed down some old hay to stick to the freezing water…provide some traction. 🙁 Well, we did have 18″ of snow.
On a more favorable report: Our creek is now open. Good cuz the electric wiring down the barn is corroded somewhere. Keeps tripping the circuit. Means no barnyard light…no poultry house lite….and no heater for the big livestock water tank. I did hit the red circuit button on the outlet down there….but I doubt that will solve anything. We need to walk the line and see where it’s got a problem. Everything, including us, is gettin’ old.
I hadn’t brought up my truck since the bombogenesis mega storm. The top parking area has been slowly but surely melting. But since the barnyard light is not going to be on….I wanted the truck and my BOB stuff it contains, secured UP HERE! {groaaan!} My beloved DH is SO not on the planet half the time. Zero awareness. When he drove the truck days ago, he did remember to put more oil in it. But he did NOT LOCK THE DRIVER’S DOOR! AAAARGH! Glad to have my truck and stuff safe up near house again…. Uff Tah!!! [but I don’t have to tell what MY AGING brain has done lately]….. {roll eyes}
Need to ride that wild horse of mine so my hips stop hurting.
