I put on 25 lbs in preparation for hibernation and got insomnia.

How many acres? And cows?

Just noticed that there was a typo here, what I meant to write was;

My desire to drink NON alcoholic beverages of any kind has fallen to zero.

Even water gets a shot of high test something.

Sorry for the error.

Going back to finish some booze now.

We raised young cattle when I was a kid. 160 acres and usually around 25 head at a time. I was also on the hook at my Uncles dairy so I threw a lot of bales every summer.

I see.

I'm very fond of that type of operation until getting off the couch comes into play.

It's a lot more work than one can see from the outside.

That's one of those jobs/careers that you have to literally be married to. Ain't no days off in dairy farm work.

Sure there's days off you just have to spend a few weeks buttonholing, threatening, and/or blackmailing, someone into covering for you.

The farm I worked in CT had a wedding reception at the farm for one of the owners sons. They'd take turns dancing and running the milking machines.
Also a fresh sears catalog in the outhouse for everyone but immediate family.
The color pages are nice to look at but don't use them.
