Yes, there was that really bool 90s movie called Basic Instinct. \u00a0Yes, the one with that Sharon Stone scene. \u00a0There was also a bad ass Yorkshire boar in the 90s that sired a lot of really good hogs. \u00a0He was housed at Great Plains Genetics in Buffalo, OK. \u00a0He sired numerous grand barrows including a grand at Tulsa. \u00a0He was also the sire of one of the most influential Yorkshire boars of all-time–Slam Dunk.<\/p>\n
Basic Instinct was known as a sire of good stock. \u00a0He was also known to be a sire that was pre-disposed to have offspring with belly ruptures. \u00a0If you were going to breed to Basic, you better have a vet that was good at fixing ruptures. \u00a0No animal is perfect.<\/p>\n
I have thought about Basic Instinct several times lately. \u00a0Yes, I am old school but I recently had to deal with a rupture. \u00a0Last winter, while picking lint out of my belly button, I noticed something different. \u00a0This spring, while getting my CDL physical, the Dr. mentioned that I had a navel rupture started and needed to keep an eye on it. \u00a0Since the first of April, it has gotten worse. \u00a0So, it was time to get it fixed.<\/p>\n
Of course, this turned into an adventure. \u00a0One of the nurses was trying to put one of the blood clot compression socks on my right leg. \u00a0She had it twisted and going on wrong. \u00a0She made me put my right foot right on her sternum and push on her chest while she wrestled this sock onto my leg. \u00a0She was having hell. \u00a0Another nurse came in, laughed and rolled the sock onto my left leg like she was a Vegas pro.<\/p>\n
Then they took me to the ER. \u00a0The next thing I know is that I am watching the Price is Right (Who knew that it was still on tv? \u00a0Not this guy) and they had fixed not one, but two navel ruptures.<\/p>\n
Now, I have time to watch some mid afternoon TV. \u00a0I watched several biographies about John Belushi, Chris Farley and Jeff Foxworthy. \u00a0I have always been a fan of Foxworthy but I really like a lot about this guy. \u00a0This interview was his life story. \u00a0It was Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Kathleen Madigan and Ron White sitting around a table. \u00a0Not as comedians but as friends. \u00a0Really cool program.<\/p>\n
I also enjoy watching Dan Rather with his Big Interview show. \u00a0This episode had Carl and Rob Reiner–TV legends. \u00a0I enjoyed watching a lot of it, until it got close to the end and they ruined it. \u00a0Why can’t these hollywood types leave their politics at the door? \u00a0I didn’t watch the show to listen to them bash Trump. \u00a0If I want to watch that, then I will turn it to cnn. \u00a0I don’t need an opinion on how to run our country from somebody in hollywood. \u00a0I don’t want an actor, athlete or musician spouting what is wrong with our government. \u00a0Just shut up and take it to the polls when it comes time.<\/p>\n
Am I a hyprocrite? \u00a0Nope. \u00a0You don’t see me on tv bashing democrats or praising Trump. \u00a0But, if you flip to this page, there is always a chance.<\/p>\n
Been doctoring a month old goat. \u00a0Pretty good goat. \u00a0I guess he got wet during the storms. \u00a0I am treating him for Thiamine deficiency as those are the symptoms. \u00a0But, I have never dealt with this on a nursing baby. \u00a0Always something new in the goat world. \u00a0I hope to save him but who knows.<\/p>\n
I would imagine that there will be lots of goat worming going on during the next month. \u00a0This much moisture is going to cause a spike in worms. \u00a0I would be prepared for hook worms. \u00a0I like to use Prohibit to prevent or get rid of those dudes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stay dry. \u00a0Have a good one and a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n
