    Morning shinies ;)

    Spike is so cute!

    Why is he blue?

    We numbered the twins & triplets this year (pink chalk) - so Spike got a pink number 2. For the first few days he stayed with his Mum & siblings, but we also bottle fed him - he got blue stripes on his back so we knew which one he was. It's a highly technical system, especially when my Nephew forgets which number he is up to ;)

    Ange, I am curious ... my uncle didn't have sheep on his farm so I have a couple questions. In fall do you attach dye bags to the rams so you know which ewes have been impregnated? And after do you separate the ewes to another field? I know blue/boy (pink/girl) but the pink on Spike's right side is that an ID to the lambing ewe? Also how big is your flock? How many rams? :)

    Nah we don't use the dye bags, but a lot of farmers here do. We've got 3 rams, and yep, as soon as they have done their job - they go in a separate paddock.

    We don't worry about marking lambs boy/girl til they are older, then it's done with ear tags. We have 3 rams, 5 wethers (deknackered lawnmowers ;)), 30 ewes in lamb, about 30 ewe lambs from last year and a paddock of hoggets (2 year olds). The hoggets are pregnant too, I think ;)

    Ours is a pretty small sheep/chicken/calf farm compared to others in the area. We have 50 acres, plus we graze another 30 acres down the road - which is where the calves are at the moment ;)

    Terrible picture, but that’s the best I can do right now. The mod came with the piano black atty, so I’m glad I bought the matte one. I almost didn’t because it might have been redundant. I’ll give that a test run tonight, and one of those Recurves too. Probably won’t unbox all of them, right into the stash.

    It was a rough day. I was thinking about going over to test drive that Traverse but I don’t know if that’s a good idea. Partly I think it’s good to keep moving forward mentally, keep that momentum going, but partly I may be not in the best mind set to haggle. Mostly this’ll likely be the last car I buy and I’d like to feel excited about it and I’m just not. I would just like it to be done.

    Absolutely stunning Delores! You have one of the best collections and style sense ever. If you ever decide you need a caretaker for that collection, just let me know:D

    I decided to do my second ever build on my Phobia today. Seems to be working. Lot's of flavor and cloud:thumb:

    How do you pros rate it? :pop: I wrapped the claptons myself this time:w00t:

    Holy moly I'm getting way too chatty in my old age :blink:

    But I do have a Pet Lamb - Meet Spike ;)

    He was a triplet, his mum couldn't feed all 3 well enough, so we fed him. Then another ewe had triplets who all died. So she is now looking after and feeding Spike - we still give him the odd feed, but his new mum does most of the work :thumb:

    Afternoon all. Back from my great adventure. She did fine, outcome wasn't perfect but not terrible, so some med adjustments and wait on the biopsies. Got her home, had some lunch and headed home to run into the inevitable messed up subway (I'm so tired of "unexplained packages", just let them blow up if it's not my train line, so I can get home).

    Anyway back, tired, no big tracking number updates (if that FT package doesn't take off soon I'm just going to pretend it doesn't exist), took a handful of painkillers for my neck, and getting dinner delivered. No way I'm preparing or going out now for anything.

    So, I decided to wrap a couple more coils for practice. I did a 6 wrap on these, as opposed to the 5 wrap I just put on the Phobia. Can I get away with using a 6 wrap on the Phobia or my Dead Rabbit? The 5 wrap is 0.20 oHm on my Phobia and Crown 4 mod. I puff at 55w. Will there be an advantage or disadvantage using the one's in the picture below? Same clapton wire I just put on the Phobia. Thank you Shiny's

    I’ll definitely keep you in mind. And the coils look fine. How’s the vape?

    What gauge? I use 26x something Clapton and I can get a 6/7 wrap in the rabbit easy. Could probably go one more.
