Oh, and then there's the frozen water pipe at the training room.

Maybe I'll make it a complete weekend and the loader will gel up on me tomorrow too!
Thats pupey man...real frustrating.

upgrade to combine roller chain. that'll fix it.

why are you scooping poop anyway? to match Cincy plowing snow?
I better just shut up now...
Just plain pupey for Scott. I wonder what his ancestors did before they had a spreader?

I did make more of the PupePhoo0 like what folks are paying twenty dollars a cup for. Found an old Depends in the corner, its steeping for the tea lovers.

I sure do take pride in how I can assist with the beverages in this room.

Morning Scotty. Looks like it's just you and I so far today. You from the frozen and snow covered far north and me from Paradise. The middle folks have not woken up yet. Been up for a while but did not make any coffee. Glad you are so good with the ...err. ... um.. beverages. You go first in the taste test.

Just starting to get light down here and so far it looks like another glorious cloudless day.

Learned allot about what not to have the first time around eh?

We're here Stan, albeit a low profile, we're here. Hard to want to come in what with Scotty and all his pupe talk.

Scotty, saw an interesting story on LiveLeak yesterday. Seems a neighbor dispute over chickens led to a fire bombing. The victim of the fire bombing got in more trouble than his attackers. Interesting laws up there in Canada.

Claude, if he immediately emptied it, we'd never have coffee in the breakroom.

Scott, might be easier to teach the horses to go outside.

That will NOT be happening on this farm!

It's already unloaded, did that before I brought it in last nite.

The same thing you guys do here in the breakroom; spread it around by hand, deep and without care!

Horses are, without question, the most ignorant animal I have ever run into, so I doubt that could be taught. They actually wait until they get inside to poop most of the time. If you feed them on the ground, they'll poop in it, then look at you like, "Hey! I can't eat this! There's POOP in it!"

I grew up in Zululand and that is not far from where I grew up. In later life had a business with my father in Shakas Kraal. Shaka was a famous Zulu king. At that time was fluent in the Zulu language, but have forgotten most of it now.

Morning DTR family..


I agree Scott. Horses are on the same mental capacity as cows. Actually I think cows might be a little smarter. Bunch of dang hay burners they are

Cows will usually crap while they're eating thereby keeping most of the offending substance out of their food. I think that puts them slightly ahead of the horses.

Cows actually produce a few useful products as well. Horses just eat and poop.
