ducks and rain

i am sure SOME ducks like rain
but MY ducks aren't really crazy about it
they don't mind the misty kind
but that downpour kind that soaks them no
and yes my ducks get soaked
cause MY ducks aren't actually ducks they are 'duck like waterfowl' or muscovy
the meat strain
oye
and my amelia.......she's a little hellion
seriously she is
during the molt she is snappy! not one of the other ducks are snappy during a molt
oye
there's always one
now today is vet day for fawnetta......(fawn has numerous knicknames) i cleaned her travel crate and explained to her
i wish i could have cut her nails but i didn't get bernie to hold her

after the vet, i intend on doing more of the floor in the studio
i am using a carpet shampooer on the wood floor......
i needed some help with it as the former owner used that stupid non waterproof gel something or other in chocolate brown.. (can we have a collective EWWWWWWW- thank you)
so the floor thing is my help
i am using plain water to get that brown gel thing up......seriously, when the water hits it, it turns into a gel...... huh?

now in the interest of getting the studio sorta, well.........done.....FAST....... i am most likely not going to be able to paint everything i wanted to this summer.... the rain doesn't seem to want me painting.
(i so need a separate workshop where things like spray booths can be set up, and porcelain pouring tables)-- you know, all the messy stuff)
i think if our property wasn't as sloping we'd have put a large workshop out back....along with more animal pens and coops.....but it slopes,....... a LOT.

oh just as an interesting (to me anyway) aside....i called a butcher yesterday to inquire about 'chopmeat' now mind you, i live in pa, and have lived here for i think 24-25 years now, so you would think i knew better...... the butcher didn't have clue ONE about what the hell i was talking about!

i said 'chopmeat' slightly louder thinking he didn't hear me....then it hit me
i'm no in jersey anymore

GROUND BEEF

oh yeah......they had it but only the 90%

hahahahaha
cracked me up

i so need to get to rooster hill farm somehow to get a freezer order in
chopmeat
pot roasts
and oxtails
yup yup............
how to get there is my problem

ok it's about time for me to go to the vet now
ttyl when i get home
wish us luck please
