Family health update.
So, my mother went back to the hospital on Friday. She came back home the same day, but there’s clearly still a problem. I think she will be having some kind of heart surgery before too long.
My dad has an appointment for an x-ray scan in a week. He will also be getting another injection. That was the fix that worked great that first time, but hasn’t worked at all this time. So they’re giving him another one. I hope it will work this time. But I’m glad he’s getting scanned too. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some hip surgery in his future.
So that’s what’s up. Hoping for the best.

What is Lasse doing?
Lasse is playing Fish!
Fish! is a text adventure by Magnetic Scrolls. As you may recall, I loved text adventures when I was a kid. I distinctly rember the box. It was a collection of 3 games. Fish!, Corruption and Guild Of Thieves. For my Amiga.
Classic adventure games. You can play them on this website, I am sure you’re dying to play text adventures from the 80s. It’s done in html, which means I can manipulate the text sizes and such. I can sort of play them. A little at least. I loved text adventures. The potential of anything being possible. It’s like being a book, only you’re the hero! Modern society started its downfall when they started making graphic adventures. Next thing you know kids have internet on their phones and everything is going to hell. We should have stayed with text adventures and 56kbps modems. Amen.

Phew. I just spent a couple of hours updating my Windows install. Looks like I may have survived. Hooves crossed.
This is the first t’ve update Windows since I got this PC, a couple of years ago it must be now. I’m the kind of person who hates updating, because things always break and things always change and change is always bad. I don’t want my operating system to change. Just give me security updates. I don’t want my OS to change.
But of course, just like all the big websites, Windows has to change too. So they can keep a track on you and make sure they’re getting to fork your privacy and monetize everything they can.
I literally sat and watched the Windows installer count up from 0 to 100%. Too scared something would go wrong so I didn’t want to go and do something else while it worked. It took about an hour. Hey, I got no life! And at least I have a pretty fast PC. I have heard it can take 2-3 hours to do it. And that’s if nothing goes wrong…
I hate that first boot after an update. I’m so dependent on my computer. the thought of something malfunctioning is terrifying. Once you’ve seen your computer boot to a BSOD. Gasp.
I always hated change. But with my sight problems and anxiety and all that. I’m dependent on things working like they’re supposed to, and how I know they work. Adapting to change is hard when you can’t forking see shirt. And a lot of the time, most of the time, all of the time, change makes it worse for my needs. All the major websites have gotten harder to use for me over the last year’s time. And it won’t be long until I have to start fighting with the new facebox layout. Sigh.
But anyway. I’m glad that my computer still seems to work. Please don’t break please don’t break please don’t break.
Sorry, just had to get that all off my chest. Carry on.

Good goat times today. A bit of a chilly morning with scattered raindrops. Later on the sun came out and it was quite lovely, although it feels like fall. Not summer. Sigh.
The goats aren’t too happy when the greens I bring in the morning are all wet from the rain. But at least they dry out after a while in the sun. Before too long there won’t be any greens in the morning at all. Enjoy it while it lasts, kiddos.
Several groups of visitors came by and said hi to the goats. Oh and the kindergarten next door was having a dance party outside. Playing loud music including Informer by Snow and Baby Shark by., satan, I assume. But they did also play Bum Tiki Bum by Kaj & Andrea so I can’t be mad.

Hey heey! Look who’s baack! We got horses again. I was starting to wonder if we’d ever get the horses back or if they were just gona for good. I only saw two today, but with my eyesight you never know if the others were hiding in the shadows. Or maybe they’ll be arrivnig later. Or maybe we’ll just have two now.
In any case, nice to have them back. The visiting kids were happy to get to see horses again too.

Trick question. Time is a oonstruct devised by humans in order to process the inevitability of their own mortality. Everything is happening all at once, everything already has happened, is happening and will happen. There is no time, there is only poop.

I walked home from the goats today. Thought I would give it a try. I miss the walking back and forth. Mostly because that’s where I do most of my reading. Audiobooks. I know I could just make the time to read at home too but… It doesn’t happen. Too many distractions and things to do and worries and whatnot. So the walk to the goats have been my primary reading time. Which is why my reading time has plummeted. This year, with all the shirt going on with my health, my family’s health, the world’s health. I was goating less than normal for a while. And then my back got real back and I halfted my walks by taking the bus. A third of the way into September and I have only finished 5 books this year. That’s a pretty big drop from 24 books last year, even if I hopefully add a few books before the end of the year. That’s pretty sad. I love reading.
It was nice to walk home listening to my new Dennis Jürgensen book. And my back held up pretty well. It hurt, but not as bas after the bus trips started. On the lower end of the scale from before it got real bad. I’m not saying I’ll be able to stop taking the bus. But if I take the bus TO the goats and then when going home I can see how I’m feeling, maybe I can do a bit more walking little by little. I seriously need execise, and I’d love to get more reading. Hey, it’s something. Hopefully.
If you can’t be bothered reading all that please download the audio version narrated by Gilbert Gottfried.

Great. Updating windows has broken something in my video editing stuff. Just edited some goat video and it wouldn’t save. This is why I hate updating stuff. Something always has to get worse or break. Now I have to spend time trying to get things back to how they were. Change always sucks.

Looks like I fixed the video editing problem. Hooves crossed. Just had to redo a bunch of settings.
I don’t understand why updating your Windows resets settings and undoes registry fixes and stuff. I set these settings because I wanted them that way. I edited the registry because I wanted the changes. Updating your settings should not revert user changes. This is why it’s so horrible that Windows now has to have major updates twice a year. Unlike the old times when you had to BUY A NEW VERSION when you wanted a new version. Now you’re forced to have a new version. Twice a year. Forking dumb.
I’m really glad that I kept a record of all my changes. When I bought this computer and started setting stuff up I literally created a txt file and wrote down everything I did. So i’d have a record of everything, in case I had to reinstall windows. Or in case of Microsoft being ash holes. Which they were.
I remembered having to tinker with settings and programs and registry to get my video editing working properly when I got this new pc. So I went back to my txt file and looked at tha changes I’d done then. And sure enough, microsoft reversed those changes when I updated windows. So it was pretty simple to redo that stuff. Now I just hope it’ll work ok.
And here’s a picture of Mia. I wish I could get my windows from MiaSoft.

Good goat times today. Another decent fall day. When the sun is out it’s quite lovely. Very windy though. Goat beards flapping in the wind.
We had a bunch of sweet visitors today. A big crowd lining up at the fence. And kids bringing greens for the goats. That’s the way to do it! No poop power activation fun. There was one kid who thought it was hilarious to shout ‘GROVÆDER GED’ at the goats. Grovæder translates to.. overeater? Basically calling the goats fatties. I say I say! The goats would have had a thing or two to say about that, if tehy hadn’t been so busy eating.
Also an addition to the list of things that the goats are just irrationally afraid of: My tripod.
At least the newbied are. I’d pick up the tripod to move it and especially Sassy would look at it and quickly move as far away as possible. Funny because she’s supposed to be the big strong wannabe boss. But a littly flimsy tripod was enough to make her forget about that.

Danish football season started today. For the first time ever I subscribed to a streaming service, because they took away some of the games from our tv package…
After the first half of the first game my team was down 0-2. What a damn waste of money.
..and then we ended up winning 3-2 with a goal 5 minutes into extra time. See, I told you it was worth it! Don’t tell me soccer is boring, American friends!
Okay, I promise not to talk about smorts anymore until this godforsaken shirtdump of a year is over.

Good goat times today. Quite lovely out. Fair bit of sun. Up to around 18C/64F which is about as good as it’s going to get right now. Next week it’s going to get even colder. Sigh.
But I enjoyed the sun today. And the goats, of course. Built a new thing today. Nothing spectacular, but we had fun with it. I’ll show you when I get the pics done. We had sweet visitors at the fence too. Bunch of little kid. One of the boys thought the goats were teh FUNNIEST thing in the world. He could barely stop laughing. Gotta love their enthusiasm!
Hopefully we got new generations of goat fans growing up.

Here is my new construction. We’ve had a pallet leaning up on the goat shelter for months not being used. So I decided to drag it over to the pile of branches and add to the structure there. It’s not too long ago that I added a second pallet to the pile branch. That’s the one Milo is standing on in the backround. So now we have a three pallet long bridge onto the pile of branches. Always nice to have more stuff for them to climb around on. It didn’t take more than 30 seconds before Mia was exploring the new construct. It didn’t take too long before the pooper troopers were fertilizing, or should that be christening, the new platform with goat berries.

Man. Radicals are weird. It’s funny how you can basically just interchange the words, they’re saying the same things just with different words. It’s like that episode of Star Trek with the two aliens, one is black on tthe right side of his face and white on the left side, and the other alien is reversed. It’s almost funny.

While i was getting ready to construct the new thing I leaned the pallet on the bench. Of course it took about two seconds before there wre goats climbing on it. “What’s this thing? What are you doing with this thing? Do we get treats if we climb on this thing?”
Yes, yes they did. Lily and Nuller.

I wasn’t surprised that the goats immediately started climbing around on the new pallet, but I was pretty surprised to see this. Haha. Mia and Milo settled down and relaxing on it. You wouldn’t think it was the most comfortable or secure place to sit, but whatever works! Maybe they feel like they’re making camp on top of the mountain. Pretty cute seeing them sit together in the middle of the pile of branches.

Might be my imagination but I felt like Sassy’s belly was looking extra big yesterday. I was drumming on it and it sounded almost hollow. Maybe she was having gas haha. If I didn’t know any better I might have guessed she was pregnant. But I guess it’s just the benefit of being the biggest and strongest of the littles. She definitely does not skip dessert.
I wish we could have babies. Almost tempted if we couldn’t have a buck over for a visit. Get a little boer kid from Mia! Sigh. Baby fever. But along with babies and pregnancies come health concerns and worries. I’d rather have Mia grow old in great health than risk complications. Still. I miss having goat babies around.

Good goat times today. A lovely day. It started a little bit chilly and there were a few scattered raindrops now and then. But the sun came out well and the temperatures got up around 20/68, which is what I consider the benchmark of summer. It could well be the last of those days I’ll get this year. The last until sometimes in May 2021 potentially, assuming the world is still here by then.
I digress. Lovely blue skies and sunshine and warm temperature and happy goats. Mama like.
Lots of lounging around. And some running for treats. Sweet visitors too. A young lady with a couple of kids, I think maybe a daycare outing, came and setup a picnic right outside the pen. That was pretty cute. They ate their food and watched the goats. While the goats watched them eat their food and wondered by they weren’t sharing. Oh the humanity! We should have sent out the bandit to steal their picanic basket.

The corona numbers in my region are steadily falling. It’s almost as if doing stuff actually works instead of shrugging and accepting people dying like flies. Who knew.
Anyway. We’ll see how that goes.
Unfortunately my dad isn’t doing so well. Looks like the fix he got didn’t fix anything. He’s got a doctor’s appointment on Friday so hopefully they can figure out something. He’s in constant pain and it sucks. I hope they can find out what’s wrong with him.
Mom is doing better, not perfect, but better. Peter’s doing ok. I’m still a bit dizzy, but I think it’s getting better. More iced creams would probably help.

Here’s Sky sitting up on the platforms on Mt Pilebranch. Good safespot because it’s hard to rush at her.
She’s reminding me more and more of Yogi. Her voice is kinda gruff like Yogi’s was. When one of the others chases her away she usually lets out a little gruff complaint. And like Yogi she’s sweet and gentle and smaller than her companions and prefers to back off and run away from the bigger meanies. She’s got this new habit of coming over to me and starting to lick my hand or arm. She’s so sweet.
Only big difference, other than her age, is that she barely has a beard. While Yogi had maybe the most impressive goat beard we ever had.

The scroll wheel on my mouse just stopped working. You have no idea how dependent you are on such a simple thing until it stops working.
In a panic I was already looking at websites to buy a replacement mouse. Then, on a hunch, I picked up the mouse and put my mouth on the scroll wheel and blew air in and out a few times. Seems to have fixed.
I will probably get a sexual harrasment lawsuit from the mouse, but we’ll jump off that bridge when I get to it.

Instead of Raised By Wolves they should have called it SciFi Project Involving Ridley Scott. I almost gave it a miss because the title did not appeal to me. Until I randomly happened to see that it was a scifi thing involving Ridley Scott. And damn, three episodes in and it is so good. Excellent scifi.
So my recommendations so far: Ted Lasso, Raised By Wolves, and the new Bright Eyes album. A Comedy, a scifi drama and a music. Loving all 3.
