The Truck and The Animals

HAHA....

Only in my case

I am just 42!

That happens if when you hit

50 you start counting backwards

the next yr!

I have to tell you what took place over

a month ago at the barn.

You see Chris owns 13 acres.

He has two small houses on it,

a large metal type garage that he had 

built, a barn and several small storage

units. He redid one home and he lives

there. He rents the other one out.

He works for Metro for the water

department but he does small engine

repair (mowers,  weedeaters,

blowers..etc) as a side job cause he enjoys

that work so much.

He rents the barn out to a manager 

and that manager fills the stalls. 

Keeps the barn up and pays Chris once

they collect the money. 

The turn over at the barn is all new

right now. Jeanna came in, brought

Tim and Brenda with her.

They had their horses somewhere

else but the man died so they had

to find another place.

Jeaana knows Chris from when he

was married and the wife showed horses.

Tim, Jeanna and I get along great.

Brenda is a little different but I have

had no issues.

It was with her hubby the issues 

came into play.

Chris allows a guy to hunt deer at the 

property, an old friend. Brenda's hubby

asked could he hunt there. Chris allowed

that and trouble came with him.

I went out there one morning and he was

there. We talked and I could not 

put my finger on it but I knew he

was either drinking or just not right.

Later before leaving I realized it was

the bottle.

Upon me return later that day to be

there when Scout and FedEx arrived

I was very upset.

Dude had taken his truck into the pasture

to do donuts. He was with the

neighbor that rents from Chris.

Jason (renter) said that dude was 

drunk so instead of letting him on the 

road they went in the pasture.

The horses were in a state. I let

Jason know how I felt about it and

I was not really nice.

Anyway, dude broke his truck and is

very lucky at this point that it

did not slide into the pond. 

On the other side os those tiny trees is a poind. 

Here is the tire, axle is broken. 

I tell you all this to say...

CAN YOU SAY STUPID?????

Anyway, things got ugly, he was fusing about 

the barn, the new horses, the way things were

run so I picked up the phone and called

Brenda and asked her to come get him.

He is not welcome back there

Jason got an ear full.

And yes, the truck is still there.

It has been raining so much that the 

pasture has not dried out so there is NO WAY

of getting a wrecker back there. 

Chances are it will be some time after

the spring bloom before it will be dry

at this point.

Now...moving on. Took this are brothers house

when I was up there. There were actually about 10

waiting on me one morning...waiting for their apples.

 This is from the deck. This is Lily's feeder.

I try to keep it full so the birds come for

Lily to watch.
