Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Yes, you need a degree in engineering to run the new appliances. Santa and the Grinch showed up at the Eagle's Christmas party. Shopping is on the agenda today. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Sunday morning.

Not good news about Mr. Gobbles the horse. Josh is the caretaker who lives down at the Ranch. When he went down to do the night feedings and checks at 9, the horse was down again and he couldn't get him up. He called the Ranch manager who didn't get back with him for a couple of hours. In the meantime, the horse had gotten cast against one of the stall walls. Being cast means he is up against a wall with his legs against the wall. In that position, they can't get any purchase to stand up. Usually you have to flip them over, which is NOT easy and usually involves ropes. I had a couple of cast horses I had to get up when I was doing the closing by myself for a year back in 2014. Finally Josh's wife and son came down to the barn and they got him flipped over. She told me he was just spent and they were going to wait and then try to get him up. That was at midnight and I have heard anything since then.

Happy Sunday all.

Hagatha, I look forward to hearing about the line dancing and group. I hope you will like it and find some more friends there.

Fogfighter, yay! It's sunny here today too.

Soot, what happened to the whale music?

Connie, Santa and the Grinch? Sounds like an interesting party.

Draclvr, I sure hope the news come back good when you get it. He's come so far...

I hope you each enjoy your day.

Good Morning and Welcome to Monday! Wide Awake Double Dark Brew is ready!

Had a busy weekend...should be a quiet day today. Tomorrow snow is coming and I have a dentist appointment in the morning!

Hope you all have a great day!

Gerry

New day, new week, new coffee!

Mrs. Sun is shining again. But not for long. We are close to the shortest day of the year. Here at the northern hemisphere.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Mr. Gobbles.

Happy Monday GameBoomers!

Very sorry to hear the horse news, Draclvr, especially after it seemed he was making progress 🥺

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Prayers for Mr. Gobbles. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Good Monday morning. I got super busy yesterday and forgot to come back to update on the horse.

After they got him flipped over and gave him some time to get enough strength back to get sternal, they left him with some food and water in a shallow pan. When they are able to get sternal, that means they are still laying down, but the front end is up on their chest and the head is up. That means he wasn't crushing his internal organs with his own weight. They left about 1 am and went to bed. Carole texted me the next morning saying he had gotten up on his own and was waiting for breakfast when the early shift came in. So, it's more wait and see!
