Drop and Give Me 3

 I was listening to the Trim Healthy podcast

this morning while cleaning out the stock trailer.

(We took the last cow up to the butcher yesterday...

he made a MESS in there...)

Anyhow.

She was talking about a really interesting concept.

She and her husband got stuck in the Dallas Airport

for THREE days!

(Ugh, please don't let that happen to us.....)

Anyhow.

Everywhere around them were people who were

falling apart. Terrible language, sniping at each other,

yelling at the poor customer service people

who totally didn't deserve it...

Every time she felt herself wanting to get grumpy,

frustrated, snippy, etc...

she told herself...

DROP and GIVE ME THREE!

(things to be GRATEFUL for...)

I thought that was a terrific concept.

A good opportunity to look around and say,

Yup, things aren't going great right now,

but there are still at least THREE things I

can be grateful for in this very minute.

So, I HOPE I don't get a chance to test it out

this week while we do lots of flying...

but there are everyday little frustrations I am

going to give it a try on.

Bye Little Red!

We loaded him up Sunday morning for his final ride.

It was time!

Saturday he broke a board on the pasture fence and

let himself out into the "alley" between us and

Brock's pasture next door.

He can't get off the property, but he CAN get into the

new sunn hemp pasture!

Luckily there was lots of fresh green grass to tempt him

and he never made it back into the back back.

Beau was "helping" me round him up and put

him back where he belongs.

Also luckily the three little guys who usually stick

to him like glue stayed on their side of the fence

so I didn't have to round them ALL up.

Sunday morning they gave us some minor trouble

getting into the trailer - little Spot wanted to go

into the alleyway in the facility (which leads to the TRAILER)

and would NOT get out of the way so we could load Red.

Eventually Kyle got it all sorted out, Red loaded up

and we were on our way.

He was all alone in the pen at Braddock's.

There were hogs in the next two pens and a couple

of steers in the furthest away pen.

They moooed at each other for a bit.

We brought him a big ol' pile of hay so I'm

sure he eventually went over to eat it.

Kyle showed him how to get water from the

automatic water spigot thingie...

On the way home we stopped at a GIANT dealership in Daytona

to see about buying Kyle a new truck.

The website said they had a large selection.

When we got there, they didn't actually have ANY!

This one was already sold.

Waiting for the salesman.

No go.

Bummer!

He really needs a new truck.

His has around 400,000 miles give or take a couple.

He really needs something bigger, stronger, newer...

Guess he'll have to wait a little bit longer.

The guys are out doing THREE jobs today.

And I spent the day running errands.

Returns mostly.

Counting down the minutes!!!!!!!!!!
