Good goat times today. We’ve had a lot of rain, but it was mostly dry while I was out. Temps just above freezing. Not too bad. But I wouldn’t mind if Spring would get here soon.
I think there may have been some other heat going on. Sky was quite chatty, some big bleating sessions without any prompting. And Luna was going little grunts and wagging her tail a lot. Oh girls. Part of me wishes we could bring in a buck to visit so we could have goat babies. But it’s better we don’t breed them.
Last year Jeanette mentioned a couple of times that if things were going well we might consider bringing in a new baby sometime in the summer, I guess. Adopting one. I do miss having goat babies. I miss the little darlingboer babies. But I don’t miss the pain of having to say goodbye to them. Sigh.
But a good day today, lots of running around arnd bleating and treats and such.

By the way, I’m trying not to talk about poltics on here, not for your sake but for my own. I just feel like though that it’s hard not to comment on Trump basically encouraging Russia to ‘do whatever the hell they want’ in regards to nato. I’ve sometimes been asked by Americans why I care about American politics, basically insinuating I should mind my own business. Well, you know. I live in a country where people are now starting to actually ask if we should actually be preparing for actual war. Like seriously actually. Now i’m not walking around scared of an imminent invasion, I’m not stockpiling cans of baked beans and toilet paper for a World War III scenario. But it’s still really weird hearing someone running for President in America basically inviting Putin to fuck up Europe. In between the rape cases.
Yeah yeah. American politics are world politics, there’s no getting around that.
We got a tiny country like Denmark apparently sending our antire artillary to Ukraine, while America sends a hasbeen X talkshow host to orally pleasure Putin. Fucking bizarre.
We all know that there’s no reason to be a good samaritan for free. Do it as a loan. Jesus would be proud. Love thy neighbour, if he can afford you.
I could go on and on and on. But I’ll cut. It. Out. Happy Presidents Day. Don’t mention the slavery, I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

Good exercising time today. Made it an hour and a half on the bike. Wazzaaap. Sore legs and butt, but feels good. Keeping at it, best I can.
Yesterday I took two CBD capsules on the goat trip. Not sure if it made a difference. It’s hard to tell with all the factors. My back felt worse than last trip, but better than the one before that. I will try 3 capsules next time, and try taking them in the morning before I head out to give them more time to work. And we’ll see. Continuing the milder back stretches. At least I feel more functioning in general and slowly improving my shape. Better than if it was worse, am I right.

Sky on lookout duty. A dog walked by on the path outside the playground and it was barking a lot and of course the goats all huddled up and were looking with much concern in the direction of the barking. After the kids relaxed Sky stayed on high alert for a while. She’s always very sensitive to danger signals. I wish she didn’t worry so much.

In other news, I looked Sasha Mitchell up on the youtubes, and found a couple of fun videos. They’re like 10 years old, but that’s still what 20 years after he played Cody on Step By Step. His voice has gotten so deep! it’s crazy. Sounds like he’s been chain smoking for those 20 years. But the funny thing is that you can still see Cody mannerisms in him. His laugh, his dude. It’s like seeing an old Codeman. Weird and strangely endearing.
Speaking of Step By Step, I’m into season 7 in my rewatch, and it’s rough going. Season 6 was weird. Episodes airing out of order. It starts with Cody just being gone without an explanation and some weird French guy just being there in his place, no introduction. Now I love Bronson Pinot and I think back in the day I kinda liked Jean-Luc Rieupeyroux. But that was back before I knew what was going on and what had happened. Now with the knowledge it’s hard not to dislike the character. And then suddenly in the final episode of that season you get a ‘phone call’ from Cody saying he’s got a new job in Russia and then you get the introduction of Jean-Luc. Why would they air the season premiere as the season finale?! Weird. And there are other times when it’s clearly out of order, like when JT’s girlfriend Sam shows up in the end credits of an episode saying something like “ever since I started dating JT blabla” and then in the next episode she shows up and meets JT for the first time. And there’s one episode where Rich is trying to get with some girl even though by the point he had started dating Dana. What a mess. And then in season 7 it seems like Jean-Luc has disappeared, I guess he was only there for one season. If this season is airing out of order too maybe the final episode will have him saying goodbye.
I just miss Cody. Cody is awesome.
Step By Step really is a comfort show for me. That and Full House aired every day over and over year after year on the local Aarhus TV channel. Once they finished a runthrough they’d just start over from episode one. Over and over. And when a new season arrived then thatød air and go into the rotation over and over. It’s funny, back then in Denmark there wasn’t really a concept of ‘seasons’. In America it’s Season 1 Episode 3. In Denmark it’s just episode 3. And when you get into season 2, it’s not S2E1 it’s Episode 25 (Assuming 24 episodes in a season”. And in the tv listings and everywhere it would be put as Kaos I Familien (25;48). Yes, that was the Danish title. Chaos in the family. Full House was called Hænderne Fulde, hands full. Anyway, they’d list the episode number and then the total number of episodes and you’d only know a new season was beginning when the number of total episodes had gone up. Otherwise you wouldn’t know it was a season premiere or finale.
But as a troubled kid, those milquetoast family sitcoms were like a safe space. Once I got a tv in my own room I had family and friends there.
Sigh. Anyway, sorry about the ramble. I just wanted to distract myself from reality. And Step By Step has always been good for that. Dude.

Good goat times today. Managed to drag myself out. Not feeling great, but great to be with the goats. The usual jolly hijinx. Headbutting and running around. Bella tried headbutting Luna off my lap, just managed to knock her into me. Good thing she’s soft. Sweet visitors too, petting and feeding the goats.
Unfortunately I’ve been in pretty bad pain, my back really bad again. I tried taking 3 CBD capsules, but it did not seem to do any good. I’ll keep trying with them. Take them even earlier before going out. Combine them with the regular painkillers. More back stretches. Hopefully things will improve.

I dragged the bench back to the front of the pen, in front of the mountain. I just like having it closer to us, and hopefully we’ll start getting some sun soon so I can see if the sunshine will hit the bench here now. Bella was running along, trying to get ready to jump up on the bench everytime I’d dragged it a bit of the way. And when the bench was in place, she was ready for a treat as a thank you for her invaluable help.

Fun with the goats. If you listen carefully you can hear Luna grunting little grunts. This was the day when she was acting like she was in heat. She’s doing lots of jumping, it really seems like she realised that it amuses me and she’s just doing it more and more. I do a false running start and she’ll jump up to go, and then stop to wait for me to catch up. And I love when Sky comes running with us instead of standing on the hill and watching. Helps when the ground is a little drier.

For the premium subscribers, a preview of a future video. Once I had moved the bench back, I wanted to sit down and have some quiet goat time on there. Well, you know best laid plans and goats and all. For once it wasn’t Bella messing with the camera, maybe because it wasn’t on the tripod. I put it on the little spool thing. And twice Luna went after it, first time I managed to get to it in time, second time she knocked it off and it turned off, but thankfully it was ok.

That’s all for now.

Good goat times today. I had been wondering if all the downpour the forecast talked about would be rain or snow. Well it was mostly rain. It seemed to turn into a bit of snow now and then. But I think it rained through most of the night. Most of the snow was washed away. More rain to come in the forecast.
So it was a day inside with the goats. Frisky goats in small contained areas makes for a fun time anyway. Running around, competing for treats and attention.
When I got there Jeanette came out and said she had a present for me. Turns out it was a ski coat. Big warm looking one. It had been her son’s, but I think she said she wasn’t sure if he’d ever worn it. Well, she’s always concerned about me staying warm so she thought I could have it. I tried it on and unfortunately it was just a tad too small. I could get it on, but it wasn’t comfortable. If I lose a couple more pounds maybe. Too bad, but ah it just goes to show how sweet Jeanette is, I really appreciate that she cares about me, and the goats. She found another pallet that I can put to use in the goat house too.
Pretty pretty good day, although I’d like some sun and warmer weather soon, please.
I feel like my condition is improving. I have started doing some new back exercises and stretches, well they’re old ones that I used to do actually, I think they are helping a bit. Along with the biking. For the first time in a good while I could make the morning walk to the goats without having to stop and sit down for a break halfway there. My back a bit better and my fitness condition a bit better. I hope that’s a sign that things are improving, and not just a temorary relief. There’s still room for improvement, but it wasn’t too bad today.
Now, more soup.

If you’re following the goat page you can see the arrival of the new big christmas tree last week. Here is what’s left of it today. There’s quite a lot left, it was standing out in the rain. I decided to drag it into the goat bedroom and as soon as it got out of the rain the goats attaacked it again. It might be a bit too big to stay in their bedroom, but it’s nice for them to have stuff to do when they’re boarded up for the night.

A while ago Keiko asked what was in the building I walk past in the videos when I walk towards the goat pen. Well, today after trying on the coat Jeanette offered me, I thought I’d just get out the camera and show you all. It’s just a two second spin around, nothing interesting there really. There are meetings in there sometimes I think, other than that I just think it’s where Jeanette hangs out during the work day mostly. Just a place closer to the animals than the main building.

Literally one minute after I got home today, the doorbell rang. It was the mailman, delivering my CBD oil package. Great timing, I’m glad I was there to get it. As I said earlier, I was in less pain today. But there was still some pain. So I thought I’d just pop a capsule right away. I am not sure if it really did anything. Harder to tell when the pain isn’t so great. But I just wanted to get started and try it. I’m only going to take them when I go out goating. I’m not sure if that’s the best idea, maybe you get a better effect if you just take it evey day continously. But the stuff I got wasn’t exactly cheap and if I take some every day then I’ll run out in 3 weeks. I’d rather make it last longer. And the pain is only really a problem when I’m up and standing or walking a lot.
One capsule has 15% in it. I asked the place I got it what their recommendaton and experience was when it comes to pain management. They said 15% was for stress and discomfort. 15-30% for pain. And 40-50% fpr extreme pain. So. I figure next time I go out I’ll take two capsules and see if I feel it has an effect. I have had extreme pain I’d say, so I could try 3 capsules too. But today it wasn’t really extreme. And who knows, maybe the exercise and stretches will get me to a place where I don’t need the CBD at all. One can hope. I’ll let you know if I have any interesting findings. At least I’ve tried it now and survived. I didn’t want to take it before going out and then end up passing out while outside haha.
Oh yeah by the way, I did one of the new stretches while I was at the goat place. I believe it’s called the child’s pose in yoga. Kneeling down and leaning forward. Now, can you guess what happened when I did that? Yeah it didn’t take long before I had a goat on my back. Not sure if it was Luna or Bella, but she was pretty light so it was probably Luna. Probably not the best idea for my back. But it didn’t hurt. And I think doing that stretch right before leaving helped me feel better when I was doing shopping and going home. But hey I got some goat yoga, good for me!

Anyway, congratulations to the team that won the super bowl, they sure won that thing, I was like whoat they’re winning and then they did and that was that, what a sportsgame. Okay okay in my book if it’s not a 90 minute long boring 0-0 draw then it’s not real football, kiss my grits.

And for those who are just here for the goats. Here’s what I did with the new pallet Jeanette found. Wasn’t sure if I should put it on the left side, but I think I will wait till I hopefully get a few more pavement tiles to build a stairway leading up on the left too. For now it’s a nice and wide staiway on the right. Amd Sky is wondering why the human is messing with that stuff instead of giving her treats.

Well I was going to post a valentines photo from the goat page collection, but then I go to the photo album and I only get a limited amount of photos, can’t scroll down to see them all. I go to my own photo albums and I get even fewer photos in the albums, if I look at my own photo albums it only loads 8 pictures. What the fork.
Could some of you do me the favour and go to my photo album at here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10160215975013657&type=3
And tell me if it loads more than 8 photos for you (in grid view), and if you’re on desktop or mobile and what browser you’re using.
I tried another browser and it was the same thing. Tried going to one of Keiko’s albums. Same thing. Forks sake. What’s the point of a photo album if it doesn’t show all the photos?

Not feeling so great today. Extremely tired. I didn’t make it out of bed this morning. I did make an hour and change on the exercise bike when I got up, so that’s something. But I’m feeling extremely worn out and my back is killing me. I am not sure if I overdid my back stretches or did them wrong or something, but I’m not feeling good right now. Boo erns. I just want to go to bed.

Oh and it seems the facebox photo album thing from yesterday is fixed, I can see all the photos in all the albums now, so that’s good. Don’t know what the fb engineers were doing yesterday, I think they let goats eat the code or something.

One from today’s exercise mix.
Made it 1h15 on the bike. That seems to be my limit at the moment. Not so much because of my legs, but more because of my butt. After an hour on the bike it just gets really sore. Feels like I’ve gotten a paddling from a headmaster in a Morrissey song for being a naughty boy.
Felt good though. The sun came out while I was going. I love having the sun coming in behind me, the spaceheater going in front of me. In my rain coat, pedaling into the zone.
Brought in the arm exercises for the first time too. Got my metal rod with the bendy middle. Man, doing that while biking really gets the pulse going and gets me out of breath. I enjoy it, so far sticking to it.
My back is getting a little better again, only did mild stretches today. Still suffering a bit from whatever happened last time. Hopefully I’ll be ok for the next goat trip. I’m trying.

It’s 9:20 pm and the elephants upstairs have decided to rearrange their furniture. Swell
You know what’s funny? There’s some kind of renovation going on upsairs, has been for a long long time. But it’s mainly in weekends. During the week there’s usually some kind of normal noise in the building. But the powersaws and floor sanding and furniture rearranging and drilling and all that. That’s usually during the weekend. I just love that on the days I want to sleep a little later than usual, we get powersawing at 8 am. I mean, that’s not an unreasonably early hour to do stuff, but it’s the weekend. Can’t you wait till 10 am?
On the plus side, the dancing children seem to not be so active anymore. It used to be almost every week day that they’d start stompin the floor at 7 am. It still happens occasionally, I guess it’s when they get up to go to school or something. But at least not so often anymore.
Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go yell at some clouds. You clouds get off my lawn!
Oh, and I’m happy to have Jon Stewart back. If America is going to degenerate into endles stupidity as two senior citizen monkey in tutus fight over who gets to ring the giant bell then I prefer it to be narrated by Stewart.
