We wrapped up the goat and sheep shows of Woodward District.  Now there is a break until the cattle show on Monday.  So I should have a day or 3 to recover and rebound.  But NOOOOO!!!  I couldn’t pass up an opportunity.  So I will travel to a different state to do something that I’ve always wanted to do…even though it’s not the same as I originally hoped.   We’ll get to that next week.  

     Now, those of you that know me, know that my bucket list consists of 3 items:   1–Pet a koala  2–Shoot a warthog and 3–Eat a penguin.  No, I’m not going to get to do any of those.  Well, unless the opportunity presents itself.  

     The Dragon Lady has taken care of all of the stock around here for the past couple of weeks.  Dang we are glad to not be kidding any goats.  As I’ve passed through I’ve kept feeders full and hay out for the cows.  I have a 5085E Deere loader tractor.  Cabless.  I love that tractor.  I have very rarely wished that I had a cab on it.  However, when going to the hay stack 1.5 miles away at 22.4 mph and a negative windchill in my face…..sometimes one gets to thinking.  I now have my eyelids thawed out from the tears streaming down my face.  

      Speaking of cold!   Woodward has one of the nicest fairgrounds in all the land.  However, Tuesday morning, I headed into one of the restrooms for my morning constitutional.  I thought the air seemed a bit cold as I walked in.  I pulled into a stall and dropped my drawers and then sat down.  I was really wishing that I had time to go to a warmer environment but time was an issue.  I took care of business but I am real sure that I now have a freeze brand of a porcelain toilet seat on my ass!   COLD!!!  Wednesday morning meant that I found a different bathroom.

     Off to the next adventure so that I can get back and finish this district show.  Have a good one and a better tomorrow.
