HA! I DID IT!

We keep our feed in the "feed room"

in our barn.

It's on the other side of CJ's stall.

And he has discovered he can put his

head over the wall (where there is a

gap at the back) and pop the

top off of the barrel

and help himself.

There are metal bands around the

tops of the barrels that keeps them

locked closed.

But they are tight.

And a pain in the neck to undo

and do up again every time.

Especially when it's chilly

like it was this morning.

(My hands sometimes hurt

when it's cold...)

(And I'm a wimp)

Anyhow.

Kyle keeps telling me to just

fill the gap.

"You know how to use a screw gun."

"Just DO it already!"

So this morning,

I did!

Ta da!

(Kyle added the happy face one day

when he found a giant sharpie out there

and he was in a good mood... lol)

Sorry CJ.

No more free lunch!

(We have a LOT of feed!)

Each barrel holds about 300# of feed.

And we fill up once a month.

Hungry hungry hippos!
