The Best Gizmo EVER!

The Best Gizmo EVER!

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* *******!!!Breaking News!!!******* Seriously…this is the best gizmo EVER…(and I am not a paid advertiser)….. Those of you who have had to staple up fencing…(onto wooden fence posts)…know that it’s not an easy job….. Fence staples were malevolently designed in Hell by slavering sadists with a lot of negative karmic debt….. They were meant to make you pulverize your own fingers…repeatedly….. I’ve seen proficient farmers…who were able to whack in a staple correctly…in three…

~~~Farm Husbandry…….(with the husband)~~~

This last weekend was productive… Some key projects really needed addressing… They were all a decrepit/rotted mess… …..beyond decrepit… Fence repair is ALWAYS high on the list… Fences are never perfect… Fences always need fixing… Did you know those elves or pixies who live in everyone’s dryer……the ones who steal and/or eat all of those spare socks…….? …..well, I’m positive their second cousins are the fence-gnawing gnomes… I’m sure those beasties live in a dead stump out back in our…

    I almost killed the guy on the loading dock at Tractor Supply. I felt so bad…………… He was younger than me (I?). I bought forty fence posts for our new and improved pastures and fencing……….not the weenie-teeny ones, but not the huge ones or the gate posts either………..and certainly not the telephone pole posts. I think the poor guy had COPD or something.  It was a hot and humid afternoon for this time of year.      …
