inter 2005 issue of DTTR, which is the "Weekly Shopping List", is proving to be really popular. I just gave my personal copy away yesterday to fill and order. We are currently sold out, until I get some more printed up, which I hope will be on Monday. That will be its 4th printing. I spent 2 hours at the post office today, just getting all the magazines mailed. As each one has to be weighed and then stamped/stickered, only they thought we could change the system again (and I cringe as this system seems to be working on getting magazines to where they need to go) and partway into the process, they decided it was not going to work, so we went back to the new normal system.

Today "Kid" is having his birthday party here. I am trying to get computer stuff done before chaos ensues. Bonfires and snowmobiles and other winter fun.

My milk goat "Crystal" is in heat.. and I need to get her bred, it is getting almost too late, but I wanted May kids anyway as the snows are hopefully gone by then. The crux of the problem is it is -15C out (5F ) and it will be too cold for her in the back of the truck. I am trying to figure out how to transport her. I am thinking of putting my XL wool coat on her somehow, or an old sleeping bag.

Well, I guess I had be getting about doing chores. The mudroom is a write-off and the cow needs to be fed....
