Kyle just before we got to Ashland to drop him off
Kyle arrived at Basics training late last night. We took him to Ashland on Monday; and in true Military fashion he and others had the 'hurry up, then wait, and wait and wait, then hurry again' treatment. ;) He is "only" about 7 hours away, so going to pick him up is going to be easier (and cheaper!).
I didn't see too much of him the last few days, as he had Drills, and he spent lots of time with his girlfriend. But hopefully all goes well for him--keep him in your prayers!
All is strangely quiet on the home front.....thus far! ha Jared and Chandra are settling in (I heard her reprimanding the ornery kitten in the background as I talked to him yesterday) and I hope to see them at Christmas!
I had to get more hay yesterday, the previous bale had lots of straw in it. I used the rickety small pickup box trailer to get it, I wonder how many people laughed at it (me) on the way home. I made it here safely, and Patrick helped me unload it--with the help of the truck and a lariat. :) (True redneck style--but it works!) ha ha ha The bovines are happy, happy, happy now!
Patrick also helped me put in my tank heater, oh yes it's that time of year again (bah humbug!). I only filled it about 1/3 of the way to check for leaks. So far, so good!
The chickens are molting, and I get 1 or 2 eggs a day. Not much, but better than nothing. Someone gave us some pork ribs, and I realized the fridge was, well, a mess as I stuffed them in it. So all the critters (dogs, cats, rabbit, chickens) got 'treats' as I cleaned out the refrigerator yesterday.
We haven't had much rain/moisture the past month--and temps have pretty much been decent. But we'll take all the rain/snow we can get, we need it! (I just don't want the cold and wind!) ha ;-)
That's about all the "news" here for now.
