Things that I really like. I like getting the mail and there are checks for me, in the mail.  Check for the recips at the Perry sale barn.  YES!!  Patronage checks.  Like free money.  Checks for goat semen.  Makes me want to sell some more.  With all of the modern emails, wire transfers, texts, etc.  It is hard to replace that feeling of getting something in the mail, like a check, that you can put

      I have had numerous calls for the past month about doctoring kids with the runs.  I have had some cases here in paradise.  Every stool sample comes back as coccidi, but for some reason or another, normal medications haven’t responded as well.  Lately, I have doctored babies with the usual spectam.  If that doesn’t dry them up, I come back with a SMZ tablet with Albon liguid.  And if that doesn’t work,

      Why is it hard to find good ag teachers?  I can answer this.  It’s because nobody wants to deal with the low rent showers during local & county stock shows.  The serious showers take care of business and don’t sweat the locals and counties.  But the low rents get all worked up and have to get serious in a hurry.  I mean, hell, they haven’t washed or walked pigs all year, but

      It has been a Thursday, all day long.  Not all bad though.  I don’t know if my internet connection is working really good, or if some videos just BOUNCE better than others.  Bouncy, squishy, happy.  Either way, it makes for a good evening.        I had to order more stuff for the greenhouse.  I really don’t have a clue what I am doing with this project, but I have good

     Some days just start earlier than others and not as well.  Today was one of those.  I did chores, checked babies and had to doctor a mature doe.  I then walked through the whether barn to do my morning check for snotty noses or worse.  Today was one of the worse.  One of Duke’s weathers had shat all over his hut, his blankets and his legs.  Duke got to wash a goat before

     I had to make a quick dash to Stillwater today.  So, I deciced to multi-task and take a load of does to get dropped off at Perry.  As I was driving east, my thoughts were mostly of what I need to do for the school and kids to get ready for the next month of shows.  I kept the sticky notes close by as the list is growing.  I stopped at the Cowboy

     I was in dire need of a haircut.  Any longer, and I was just going to let it grow and then I could startup a Crue, KISS, GnR, AC/DC tribute band and I wouldn’t need a wig to wear. No worries as Duke and I both got scalped.  I don’t care how it looks as it feels good.  My hats now fit right.  Too much hair can just feel lethal.  Although it is

   The 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live is on the tube tonight. Absolute huge lineup of mega stars are making appearances & reprising legendary roles.  I never get sick of Will Ferrel as Alex Trebeck.  Le tits now or let it snow.  Turd Ferguson.  Jeapordy done right.  Of course, I wish Chris Farley, John Belushi and Robin Williams were doing live appearances.      The musical guests, the comedy, the political humor, the characters,

     It hasn’t been a scary day but has been a day that reminded me what I didn’t like about teaching ag. –OYE online entries –Dealing with unorganized parents that don’t have their crap together in order for the old, fat ag teacher to complete OYE entries.  Even though I gave the 12th as a deadline 2 weeks ago.  Yes, I know that they aren’t actually due until the 20th, but I don’t like

     Not that I needed one, have time for another one or for that matter want one, but I am retarded and therefore, will tackle this new challenge. I have never operated a greenhouse before.  I think that they are an essential part of plant production and an excellent learning tool.  BUT…I haven’t done much with them.  Sure, when I taught at Fairview, there was a greenhouse.  Mindi used to tell people that asked
