Good Morning All!
49F @ 79% sorta overcast.
Lil was 1 month old yesterday. Maria thru together a 16x16' pen with Hog Panel last week and put it out under the old shade tree. She also found Lamb Starter which is small extruded chunks of *something* which go into a dish in the pen. 1st time using that stuff so we did not know if Lil would partake. Well, buried her face in it and chows down. We started putting her in the pen a few hours at a time, and are now leaving her in the pen during the day so she can acclimatize to the outside. She has a hut, and dish with a few stacked cinder blocks to play on. Spends almost the whole time grazing and eating the starter. Upper teeth are much longer so she is able to tear grass/weeds/whatever to small pieces for cud chewing. Still not drinking water out of a bowl but think she is getting enough with the grazing. We bring her in at night, sleeps like a log until around 0800 when the bitch'n starts. She is only getting the 'bottle' 3 times a day now. She is processing food better with cud chewing all of the time. Her stool, when we can find it ( Jake eats it ) is solid and good looking. Shoulders and hips are getting wider with body mass and associated fat to go with it. She is almost as tall as our smallest cat ( Callie ) but not as heavy. Callie was fixed a couple of years ago and puts the weight on. Will get her weight and pix maybe later today.
Bees whom are elevated to Male get killed by the Queen after mating with her. That is their whole life. So: Honey, Nut, Cheerio!
-and-
My 5Yo son was chewing on a plugged in extension cord. I had to ground him for it. He is doing better currently, conducting himself properly making positive progress. I am shocked!

. Came back home yesterday, took off my shoes and sat down on the "throne". Before that i left the sliding door slightly open to let the air in, and for the cat to be able to get in the house at her pleasure...well she brought a "friend" again, i could hear it from the noise she was making while trying to hold the thing in her mouth. She comes to the bathroom with a chipmunk in her mouth and of course she lets it on the floor to show me off her trophy. The chipmunk takes off, first under the toilet bowl, where she chased it out of there. It runs to the living room where all i could do was to listen her chasing it around. I finally got #2 done, went to the living room only to find this thing hiding behind my hobby table, where she could not reach it. I chased the chipmunk out, she takes off after it again with the chipmunk going in behind my book case. It took me a while to chase it out from behind that. Chipmunk takes off again across the living room, she's after it. It runs again behind the book case, i chased it out of there again. Got it trapped under the stack of magazines which i had to take down from the book case in order get the thing from behind it. I finally grabbed the thing (wore carpenter gloves for that). Carried the thing outside and let it run, with her meowing still inside the living room, thinking that the chipmunk was still there. Fun times at the household.
Anyway, here in the midst of the MLB season two names from the past popped into my mind; John Brockington and MacArthur Lane - the original thunder‑and‑thunder backfield. I know of at least one coffee shop patron who will remember this duo.
