    My wife had a mare, her name was hell ***** she would not tolorate a deer in the paddock, or in the pasture if the gate was opened she ran them off with a fury, she hated deer and watched her try to stomp out a wood chuck. Funny my wife the cowgirl did not click with her she could not saddle the horse without a battle. I rode the horse over to the neighbors bareback with twine on her halter to steer her. Won a $20 bet. Hint to horse people horses love the person that grains them in the morning and picks the ice out of their hooves.

    Just shot a coyote 15 minutes ago.
    Rancher has been complaining all winter about it but it lived in a 3x9 mile area with no roads open and I aint 25 years old anymore.
    This 27 square mile area has had no traffic since mid Dec. Not even a snowmobile.
    A road finally opened up today (sun) that I could access the area.
    Was a bit dicey and gave my truck a workout but...:biggrin:

I am willing to donate an iron inhanced sand filter to remove nitrates if the lake association will pay for the power and installation donated equipment is $50,ooo.

    Hahahahaha!!!!

    We have been doing that for months.

    Maybe i should not have used the word hacked. Dont know the exact details yet. Our systems were better protected after the first event. So no issues there. Our network was destroyed.

    We are the 3rd company in the area to experience an issue. Not sure if one of them is back up yet. On Friday, they had been down 15 days. Their home office in europe was the origin.

    F'ing employees service school training is one week a year it is all hands on deck, if you are a presenter if you are not a half hour early you are late. There is so much to be taken care of the last thing we need to be concerned about is where the hell is everybody. I got introduced today as being intense but fair, not sure that is a complement, coming from slackers.

    Oh sure! Present that to a global company with 18 or so IT departments??

    You trying to get me fired?

    Our local IT department had a posting on our computers lock screen

    "dont forget to keep an eye on your computer while you are out of the office"

    Am i some kind of alien with an extendable optic nerve that i can leave an eyeball in the office while i travel the shop floor?

    Would love to see that X Files creature

    Sorry. I'm sure there must be 2 ppl from each IT group working the problem + lost productivity by all those affected. And potentially noone taking accountability for the root cause issue. Not sure what that would equate to in $.

    I don't know what I was thinking.

    Hubby just pulled a tick out of my shoulder it was very small but in the middle of a huge red area. M..,F..ers!!!!!!
    Apparently my cutters isn't working. I'm sick of being a bug attractant thank heaven my Dr prescribed a dbl dose of antibiotics the last time. I took the two pills and will call him tomorrow.
    Hhmm yesterday I ate a deer burger and got violently sick an hour later. Now we both had them the day before and were fine. I had a chucksteak for lunch and got queasy.
    Though I think it got on me this afternoon when I was digging leeks for the soup I made for dinner

    Not sure how they diagnose, but also not sure alpha-gal sets in that quickly...worth mentioning.

    Also hit your outside clothes with some permethrin...should last for ~6wks.

    I figured that though very strange coincidence. I think it was the leek digging this afternoon. Which really sucks because I got them very close to the house
    I have sawyers and some clothes have been sprayed as well as my shoes.. I never leave the house that my pants aren't tucked into my socks. The cutters sits right next to the door,so we spray often. Both ticks got high the one I felt crawling up my arm and killed the other day and this one on my shoulder. I'm thinking it's when I'm pulling rocks and weeds or foraging they are getting on my hands/arms
    This one even though small had biggest red area. I'll check in morning for bulls eye

    My daughter took her road test today to get her license. As she was finishing up and ready to drop off the instructor her car gets rear ended as she’s waiting for on coming traffic. Good news she passed her test and nobody got hurt. Bad news car needs a new bumper. 586E4DE4-2589-4531-8CAE-F2FAFA00C74B.jpeg
