I haven’t been to a doctor since pre-Y2K. \u00a0But, I’m starting to think about it. \u00a0This Friday brought no stock shows and no school. \u00a0Finally a day that I could just do my own stuff. \u00a0But this crud has me slown down. \u00a0So, I had a new schedule. \u00a0Work an hour or two, then lay down to rest till the oxygen came back. This went on all day. \u00a0I spent more time on the couch than working. \u00a0Duke liked this schedule.<\/p>\n
We had a priority list and got some, but not all done. \u00a0Feeders are full. \u00a0Babies are tagged. \u00a0We even wormed and trimmed hooves on a pen of yearling bucks. \u00a0Not easy work on a good day. \u00a0Duke trimmed hooves on the last one. \u00a0I was out of oxygen and therefore, done.<\/p>\n
This evening, I have had the joy of watching an all-time great movie–Lethal Weapon. \u00a0That flick holds up to the test of time. \u00a0Lethal Weapon 2 may even be better. \u00a0Now, I am watching The Hobbit: \u00a0Battle of the Five Armies. \u00a0I like it when the dwarf king and his men ride up the mountain on goats to battle. \u00a0Finally, something useful for a goat. \u00a0Of course, it is only make believe. \u00a0This is another dang good movie.<\/p>\n
Speaking of movies, got a text at 8:09 am from my favorite daughter the other morning. \u00a0That means it was 6:09 am in LaLa Land. \u00a0That is early for that part of the world. \u00a0She was working with some people whose names I know. \u00a0One of which was a big part of SNL. \u00a0The whole part of working with somebody from Saturday Night Live was cool enough for me. \u00a0I don’t understand her line of work. \u00a0But as a parent, I’m real proud of any kid that can actually chase their dreams.<\/p>\n
While trying to breathe and watch movies at the same time (it shouldn’t be a hard thing, but sometimes it is), the Dragon Lady walked into the living room to ask me if the Leedey boys won in the state basketball semi-finals. \u00a0I was like, “Lady, you could have a dude from Ethiopia and me sitting here and you would be better off asking the Ethiopian.” \u00a0She looked at me like, “Really?!” \u00a0I then replied, “There was a district goat show in Enid and I can’t even tell you who won that.” \u00a0She replied, “I know that answer. \u00a0Halie Schovanec.”<\/p>\n
That makes Halie Schovanec the only person to win the NW District Jr. Livestock Show three times. \u00a0That goat show was started in 2006. \u00a0Kela was the first to win it twice (06 & 07) and the only one to do it consecutively. \u00a0Duke won it once (12). \u00a0Those three goats went on to OYE and were res. grand ’06, ch. div. 3 ’07 and bronze medallion ’12.<\/p>\n
Not taking anything away from this years show as I was not there but I like to reminisce on those days of goat showing. \u00a0Fairview and Hennessey were loaded. \u00a0Bryan Kennedy and I were younger, cockier and learning this whole game. \u00a0Lots of great goats and even better showmen. \u00a0The show at Woodward District this year reminded me of those days, except I didn’t feel young, cocky or that I was learning anything new. \u00a0But the goats and showmen were really good.<\/p>\n
I need to schedule a semen sale. \u00a0I need to schedule getting bucks clipped and photoed. \u00a0I then need to schedule a buck sale or two. \u00a0I need to schedule a yearling doe sale. \u00a0I have a lot of stuff that I need to do. \u00a0I need to take a deep breath or two. \u00a0I need to go close the kidding barn and the door to the Dragon Lady’s chickens. (Whoops! \u00a0Too late. \u00a0She’s already done it.)<\/p>\n
Here’s to hoping that you can get all of your need2do stuff done in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
