The wind!! \u00a0Oh my! \u00a0 BRUTAL!!! \u00a0 Straight out of the south. \u00a0I’ve seen it blow harder but it has blown consistent today. \u00a0Miserable.<\/p>\n
I got home from church this morning and had myself a To Do list. \u00a0I didn’t get it all done, but with my favorite son helping I got the main deals done. \u00a0We started in the yearling buck pens and started trimming hooves and giving Ivomec. \u00a0Wind blown! \u00a0HARD hooves and it wasn’t fun. \u00a0We also set them up. \u00a0There is a couple that really turn my crank. \u00a0I don’t know if he is the best one, but I like getting my hands on a doubled up Rumour deal.<\/p>\n
Then we headed inside the kidding barn and trimmed hooves on does. \u00a0Oh my! \u00a0 Then we went across the road and tackled the mature buck pen. \u00a0We need a rain. \u00a0These hooves were so, so hard. \u00a0My wrists and hands are already sore. \u00a0I kept a sharpener with me so that those red handled, German steeled nippers would cut through this hardness. \u00a0Diamonds are supposed to be hard and a diamond in a \u00a0goat’s ass is supposedly hard to find\u2026.I tell you what, I couldn’t give 2 squirts of owl $h!t about a diamond this afternoon. \u00a0I just wanted nasty hooves trimmed. \u00a0DONE!<\/p>\n
Duke helped trim hooves as well. \u00a0I can see that a year from now, he will be really good help. \u00a0And then he will graduate and move out.<\/p>\n
When we got done with the hooves, Duke caught bulls in two different pastures. \u00a0We loaded them up and moved them back to Shattuck at one of Dad’s places. \u00a0On the drive there, Duke allowed that he could feel sand under his eyelids. \u00a0I completely understood his problem.<\/p>\n
Through all of these discomforts—hard hooves, goats, DOES, WIND, etc.—I cussed some. \u00a0A lot. \u00a0I even made some threats about involving a baseball bat to an old doe that was hell-bent on destroying some panels in the kidding barn. \u00a0(That female dog and her triplets are now in a corner pen NOT next to another doe.) \u00a0Even with the easy access to guns at our place, not once did I think about shooting a goat or going all postal and shooting up a bunch of people.<\/p>\n
These public shootings scare me. \u00a0My GOD! \u00a0They scare me because I fear that these people aren’t right in the head. (I like the part in Braveheart with the Irishman—“He wasn’t right.. in the head.”) \u00a0I am scared that some may know that these people are on the edge and use this info to help push them over the edge in order to push a political agenda. \u00a0I pray for those afflicted and I pray that I am wrong. \u00a0I am not some conspiracy theory freak but I am a realist and understand that stranger things have happened. \u00a0But\u2026My GOD! \u00a0History has been known to repeat itself.<\/p>\n
The current political climate is scary. \u00a0Why can’t I simply be a registered republican that believes in the 2nd amendment, believes that everybody should have a job and that charity will be taken care of when needed not signed up for? \u00a0And I also don’t believe a wall will fix much. \u00a0Whether you are a fan of this president, the previous one or whomever, why can’t we all just agree that none are perfect and together we can be. \u00a0Why do we have to draw lines in the sand on EVERY topic? \u00a0Why does our media have to hide behind the 1st amendment at all times? \u00a0What happened to common sense?<\/p>\n
I don’t care what religion, race or sex anybody is. \u00a0Let me believe what I believe and I will leave you alone. \u00a0I have recently been asked if “I would be willing to shoot my best friend in the leg for $10 million”. \u00a0My first thought was that “so and so” can limp. \u00a0My next thought, is actually, I don’t want to shoot the Dragon Lady in the leg. \u00a0However, would I let her shoot me in the leg for $10 million? \u00a0 Ooh. \u00a0Only if my mom and the current life insurance policy holders were there to make sure that the laser sights are on target.<\/p>\n
I have also been asked would I have my family do the kardashian thing for kardashian money? \u00a0HELL NO! \u00a0 I want Kela and Duke to be the best ever Kela Kelln & Duke Kelln. \u00a0That’s all and that’s it.<\/p>\n
On any given day, I deal with over 100 kids. \u00a0These school shootings take their toll on these kids. \u00a0Kids talk. \u00a0It is interesting to listen to them and hear their thoughts. \u00a0However, it is scary when somebody says that won’t happen here, but if it did\u2026.it would be so and so. \u00a0My GOD! \u00a0If that doesn’t give you pause.<\/p>\n
And on a WAY lesser note, it is the time of year to worry about fungus on goats. \u00a0 Time to start feeding some STOP!<\/p>\n
Have a good one and a way better tomorrow.<\/p>\n

p.s \u00a0 The Dragon Lady and I watched Joe Dirt perform on Friday night. \u00a0It was actually Joe Durt (complete with the oomlots above the U). \u00a080s rock band that had a lot of desire but lacked some chops. \u00a0It was fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
