Random opinion #1.
Just because there is an inch of snow on the road,
does not mean you have to drive 30 km./hour.
Please people.
You give me a serious case of road rage.
I'm all for slowing down when the roads are crappy, believe me.
But an inch of snow?
And perfect visibility?
C'mon people!
This is Canada!
That's good driving conditions I'm describing.

I will never again raise Special Dual Purpose birds for meat.
Takes twice as long for birds half the size.
Oh, they were healthier.
No lame birds, they were actually very active.
No heart attacks.
But I had them for 18 weeks,
they were never without food or water,
EVER
I ran a light all night so they would eat continually,
they had an outside pen,
they were always clean and dry,
and I ended up with on average 5 lb. birds.
Actually, I still have one.
The sorriest rooster that ever was.
He was the smallest, wiry-est (is that a word?) bird ever.
Scared of everything, and extremely agile.
The kids nicknamed him the "Ninja" rooster.
Somehow we missed him on slaughter day.
And he's still here.
Just a little bigger than the hens,
still scared of everything,
still a Ninja.
He's made it this far I don't have the heart to kill him.
Even though I do not want to propagate his genetics.

My dog is bringing home dead pigs.
And different mystery parts of dead pigs.
This is bad, because:
#1, it's gross
#2, the farmer's been known to shoot dogs
But he leaves them at the end of the lane, not in the kill bin, just on the ground, and nothing is around. No house, barns are far enough away, and there is a pile of tender tasty morsels for the taking.
But, the Libertarian in me says he has every right to shoot my dog if said dog is trespassing on his property.
The the dog Mom is me says,
"Put your damn dead stock in the kill bin!!!!"
It's a moral conundrum for me.

I have to stop sleeping.
It's the only way I can figure that will let me get everything done I want to get done.
I get up at 6am.
I'm going (working) by 7:30.
I stop for a half hour at lunch,
and go again till 9 or 10 pm.
With a break to cook and eat supper.
But cooking isn't really a break.
And I can't get enough done!!
So, me and sleep?
We're done.
I've had enough of sleeps seductive wiles.....

I just don't understand some people.
The tenants in my house before me chose to do the decor in black and grey.
All trim and doors black
(They even took a black magic marker and coloured in the gold on the ceiling fan.... I kid you not.)
All walls a gun metal grey.
(Is it grey or gray? It bugs me I don't know this.)
It was like living in a prison.
And, the black paint they used was latex.
And they painted over white enamel.
So it's peeling, flaking black paint.
Which means I can't just paint over black paint......
I have to scrape it all off first.
And this takes hours.
And this irritates me to no end.

I love having my horse here.
Just sayin'.
Random opinion #7
Having drain pipes that drain outside instead of into your basement is pure awesomeness.
So is having a dryer that doesn't take 2 1/2 hrs to dry a load of clothes.
So are dishwashers.
So is hot water.

I like Christmas lights.
The End.
