I came home and low and behold, apparently some punk(s) showed us the correct way to use our horse stock tank.

Here I've been doing it wrong all these years!!

Talked to the neighbors, apparently someone (17 yr old) was peeping tom into the neighbors house and attempting to steal stuff from there shed, they called the cops, hes sitting in jail right now from 'resisting arrest' and or runnin from the cops. They said he was wacked out on something. Lovely...

 

i dont get it? did he try and hide under the straw? maybe he was concerned your water would freeze?

 

What the heck is the point of doing something like that? Sad..

 

I have no idea, I'm still kinda going 'wha?'

I mean the avg person it would take 10+ trips to carry that much hay from our horse hay ring feeder over to the tank, which is about 30ft. It rained yesterday, so the hay was wet, so it had to be heavy to carry. Not to mention the mud/horse poo he had to walk thru, how crazy is that. I told the cops, if he has horse poo on his shoes, thats your man.

Would you carry hay 10x, over 30 ft? Weird.

Wasting my time is the thing that bugs me. Go get the tractor out, undo all the heater stuff, drag it up to the house to hose it off, drag it back down to the spot, hook up all the heater, then go back up to the house (500ft), fill up my carry tank, may 2 trips to fill the 110 gal back up.

If I didn't have to carry my water every two days, I wouldn't think twice, here I spent an hour doing something pretty senseless.

The funny part is, the electric fencer was on, its a good 12,000v unit, and was stretched where he crawled thru the horse tape, hope he got a good shock from it!!!!

 

Crooks are stupid, this kind of proves it.

One the other hand I really like your idea of the piece of downspout to protect the wiring from being chewed up. Pretty ingenious. May be he was jealous!!!!

 

Wow.

That just makes me laugh.

 

ok...

Ya know... I really think the cops otta bring the kid by daily and carry hay and water for you.

 

Whacked for sure.

 

They stopped him before he could get the grow lights up....

 

Well, as disgusting as it is, at least he didn't set it on fire!!

I had some this guys distant relatives visit my barn a couple of months ago. They took every piece of wire they could find that wasn't in conduit. Including a piece of romax coming out of the electrical panel traveling about two feet and going into a timer. Yea, they got .50 worth the wire and caused me great grief. It was wired 220 so when they sniped the wire I hope they were notified. I did discover they were there at 3AM cause that's when the timer went off.
