Variety of things.

I know, I could, and should put at least 3 seconds of thought into the title of these posts, and some times I will, but not today.
Too many things and thoughts going on.  School, SCHOOL, farm, Libya, church, farm, School legislation, weekend obligations, braces, missions, etc.
Thoughts on Libya:  It is interesting to watch the history of a nation shift, in a matter of weeks.  I hope the "opposition forces" as they have been titled, succeed.  They have a tough road ahead, though.  The military madman at the top still hasn't admitted that "something is happening", at least not in the last report I heard.  That was, I admit, 3 days ago, and in the interim, military airstrikes have been part of the fray.  I don't know if they were ordered from the very top, or just military commanders doing "their job".  I am anxious to see how bad the mess in Libya will affect us here.  Oil price speculation is such a driving factor in the price of gas, and the prices on the market have jumped dramatically.  I know there are other factors, including the individual stores maintaining a profit margin, but the speculation makes a big difference.  Running 1000 per week, every nickel in the average price costs me about $10-$12 extra per month.  That wouldn't really be much, if it were only one nickel.
Things on the farm are about normal.  We have had a change in ownership, but it shouldn't really affect us much.  At least not negatively.  As most know, Townsend declared bankruptcy, and a new company has taken over.  we'll see how this plays out.  Right now, it is just the same:  raise birds, maintain systems, and hopefully get some sleep.  With my schooling and church responsibilities, it is not unusual to get home at 9 or later, and have some repair to take care of.  Michelle is really good about trying not to let little things pile up, so I only have the bigger issues to tackle.  That is good.  Sometimes, though, a "big job" that should be simple ends up taking hours instead of minutes.  Perfect example:  A cable on the feed lines broke (corroded), and needed to be fixed.  It looked like it should only take 20-30 minutes to splice in a new section to patch the break, but upon closer inspection, the cable passed through enough pulleys that an entirely new length was required.
This would have been no big deal, except it meant that the ladder had to be moved every 4-5 feet of a 20+ ft. span, to free the old broken cable, then back and forth to run the new cable around 2 turnback pulleys.  as it was, it only took me about 2 hours to fix, but you get the idea.

Great, the last 4 paragraphs I typed were not saved, because a thundestorm apparently knocked out the wifi server, and I didn't realize it.  Anyway, I may try to fill in blanks on another day.

Gotta go!
