Okay, caught up.
I've been mostly MIA lately but I finished a two week seminar on the B777. I had to rearrange my personal schedule a bit to accommodate the training time. Now, I have to finish the on-line training and test. It's worth $1200 and includes a 12 month contract of employment. The company I work for got smart with training a couple of years ago and started offering bonuses and requiring a signed contract that the employee would stay with the company for a year, at least. Last year I took a pass on training, deferring to younger techs, but Rod had his stroke and my plans to retire swirled down the toilet. This year, I cannot afford to pass on training like this.
The weather has taken a turn for the better. Temps have been above freezing for the past two days and look to stay in the double digits above zero for the foreseeable future. That means more snow.
The three healthy kids are growing fast and are as cute as all get-out. They play and are already mouthing hay. The two crippled babies are still inside with their mommas and will have to remain here until the weather is reliably warm enough that they won't freeze again, Besides, their feet are so bad, I am actively fighting infection every way I can. I ordered some Agri-cillin and as soon as it arrives I will be administering a two week course of injectable antibiotics. I've been using topical treatment now and so far it seems to be working well enough. The little one has developed a technique of lifting her hind legs into the air and walking on only her front legs. I am hoping we can save these precious creatures.
Of course, Spring cleaning this year will be extra, super special after I've had four goats living in the utility room for a few months.

That is so funny!
