Slept till 2pm today. Haven't done that in a long time. I'm exhausted these days - just can't seem to get back on my feet. Went to do feeding (takes about an hour) and was shaking and breathing hard afterwards. Had to go to town to switch our loaner truck for a different one (they needed the dually back - ok by us. It doesn't do a good job on this kind of terrain.) Our Chevy will be there for a while. We cut a break line during our adventure the other night. But it turns our we were also leaking transmission fluid, which is unrelated to what we were doing the other night.
Some of the neighbors had plowed, so on the way down the road was good. On the way back up the road was slick like ice for a mile then good after that. Hoping to go to be soon. Just can't get my energy back.
Dave finished work at four, as usual, and got to work right away on butchering the lamb we have had hanging from a tree for the past week (when butchering meat needs to age by hanging for a bit - something that works well as long as the weather remains bellow freezing as it has until today). It took him until 8:30 to get that job done and he gave some to Jarred and Pete for helping him. (Jarred taught him how to butcher for the first time. Dave offered him half the meat in exchange for his help, but Jarred just took one leg. He said we didn't need to give him even that. He said he would have taught him for free. Dave said, "I know, that's why I want you to have more than that.") We now have some good lamb in the freezer along with our home raised pig and cow and turkey.
