Good goat times today. Out and about. Fairly grey day, but mild compared to what we have lurking around the corner. Forecast looks like a scary movie.
Anyway, just good to be with the goats of course. Rain or shine, goats need their treats. Several groups of visitors too, seeing the goats and other animals. Jeanette always does such a great job with visitors. Kids got to look for chicken eggs. Unfortunately the feathers are back in lockdown, I hope we’ll still get to see them outside on occasion. But Fear The Fox, as we say here.
We went out and spent some time on the bench. Thought it would be a good idea since it wasn’t too wet and muddy, and since we probably won’t be able to do that again for a bit. Okay okay enough with the doomsday prophecies.
My back was in tremendous pain on my way home. Now I’m starving and tired. Debating whether to take a nap before bedtime. Definitely going to inhale a pot of soup, though. That’s for sure.

Jeanette got a new mineral block (especially designed for goats) and of course it didn’t take long before there was a goat on it. Luna is small enough to stand on it.

Up on the mountain. Good to have a nice day before the weather blows us away again.

Exhausted and pained from yesterday, lost in exquisite and horrible dreams. Ended up in bed for 12ish hours. But when I got up I got on the bike and did an hour, so that makes up for it, right? I’ve been doing the exercising for a couple of weeks now? You can really tell by my butt. No, it’s not smaller or tighter, it just hurts after sitting on the bike for an hour. Hardy harr harr. I think my legs are getting stronger, though. Felt easier on resistance level 6. Super hard last week, today felt easier, went about 10 minutes before starting to lower it.
Onw day a day. I don’t dare look out the window.

Trying to get a smooch out of sky. This picture would typically have gone to the trash can, if it wasn’t for Bella hamming it up in the background which made me laugh.

I can’t fathom why anyone would think a President having total immunity would be a good idea. If anything the leader of a country should be MORE accountable than some Joe Schmo factory worker or cab driver. Doesn’t matter what side you’re on, would you want the leader of the other side to be able to do whatever the heck he wanted with no chance of repercussion or consequence?
Anyway. I have been pretty good about not talking about politics, and I’ll try to keep that up. Because there’s so much I could say. But there’s no point in incriminating myself, since I unfortunately do not have total immunity.
Yet..

Bella, lookingback at me, “Yeah I’m gonna knock this tripod over. What are you gonna do about it? I’m a goat, I have total immunity”.

Guess what I did? I ordered CBD oil. Capsules. I did some research on it some months ago, thinking I would try it. But then I never did. But, I figure I’ll give it a try and see if it can help with my back pain. Nothing gained nothing lost. Other than money, of course. It would be nice if it could help, but I’m not really expecting much. Just don’t want to let that avenue go unexplored.
Hooves crossed.

A goat’s gotta eat. Luna thinks I’m slow with the treats.

Watching old Step By Step episodes, and they’re stuck in a box (season 5, ideas getting thinner) and Cody has to use a ‘cellular phone’. A giant thing that has to be unfolded with an antenna that has to be pulled out. Haha. The good old days.
I love the codeman. If there is an infinite number of alternate realities, then there must be some where he didn’t get unjustly framed for spousal abuse and he stayed on the show instead of getting fired, and I want to go to there. Dude.
Also enjoying the old episodes of SNL. I loved Tom Hanks’ fake outtakes from Big where he was a jerk to all the kids, especially after the whole episode everyone had been going on about how he was the nicest guy in Hollywood. Not sure you could play the “Jew, Or No Jew” gameshow today though. Another highlight, Dana Carvey and Robin Williams as father and son. Dana doing a manic Robin Williams impression. And then after he leaves Robin revealing ‘I never had the heart to tell him he was adopted’.
I kinda wish you could get high from CBD oil, it would be fun watching old snl on that.

Good goat times today. Absolutely gorgeous day. Sunny and stunning. Snow on the ground, but not was much as I had feared. Almost slipped on some patches of ice where there wasn’t snow, but I stayed upright. We’re in for a bunch more snow the coming days, hopefully it won’t get too bad.
But today was a picture perfect winter day. Freezing but beautiful. Got out for some time in the snow with the goats, it’s easier when there’s not so much of it. Had some fun running around, although I nearly got knocked out by Luna. She seems to have picked up on the fact that I enjoy when they do their twirly jump-starts to running, so she’s doing it a lot. But she managed to do it right into me as I was moving foward fast and I staggered around a bit before regaining my balance. She said it was an accident but I’m suspecting she was hoping to knock me over and all the treats come out of my pocket like a pinata. I’ll have to keep an eye on her.
Nice visitors from the neighbour school too, and Jeanette lighting up the fireplace again.
Oh and we had a breakout. When it was time for me to go, Jeanette was in the pen too. I opened the gate and went out and I thought she said “I’m right behind you” but it turns out she said “she’s right behind you”. And then Bella was out of the pen. And then Luna slipped out when we tried luring Bella in. Haha. It wasn’t a problem though, I just went back in the pen and rustled my treat pocket and they came right back in. And then we were more careful when I went out again. It’s not like there’s anything too interesting for them outside the pen, just snow as far as the eye can see.

The nice visitors from the neighbour school brought a new christmas tree! Before christmas they had told me they might bring us more than one, when we told them the goats loved christmas trees. Now we’ve gotten a couple from them. And the goats are happy about it.

Good sooup times today. Trekked out to my parents place for a souptogether with the fambly. Our wobbly gang. My brother has been off work for a while because of arm problems. And we’re all just limping along. I made the walk okay though. Took about 30 minutes. I still have back problems but I can feel that the biking has started to help, I can walk along without being completely deadfinished after 5 minutes. So that’s something. It was a bit rainy and there were patches of ice and snow that I had to watch out for. The weather forecast has been hard to judge, there have been warnings of lots of snow but it doesn’t seem to have been too bad, I’m wonder if the rest is just going to come down as rain and wash everything away. We’ll see.
But the soup is good, it’s always good. now I have leftovers in the fridge for a couple of days. Mama’s homemade soup is always better than the stuff I can throw together. So I wll enjoy that.

Watched a Youtube video about old cassette audiobooks (Stegelmann er gud) and it triggered a lot of fond memories. I think I have talked about the old Star Wars audio tapes before. They were translated to Danish and had sound effects and music and looking at them today they look sooo crummy and poor and hilariously dumb, but you gotta remember that was before every kid had a T and a VCR in their bedroom. We might not have had a VCR in the living room by then. Being able to listen to the Star Wars story on tape over and over and hear R2 beeping and everything, it was awesome.
But then in the comments someone was talking about the Tintin comics on audiotape and the unlocked more memories. I used to go to the library (as a kid I was the kind of kid that biked to the library at least once a week probably) and I’d come home with these plastic sleeves with cassette tapes of the Tintin stories. I can’t rememeber if I got cassettes of other things, I guess I probably did. But I specifically remember Tintin because I remember getting a tape of the story of the comic book The Black Island. In that story there is a monster, it later turns out to be a gorilla, and on the tape it made these horrible growls and screams and it scared me so much that I never finished the tape! I can’t remember how old I was, just I was just a kid and that monster scared me so much that I returned the tape without finishing it.
Oh that reminds me further, speaking of not finishing scary things and also Star Wars, I think I’ve told this story before too, but the first time Star Wars was broadcast on Danish TV I got scared by the beginning with the storm troopers and Darth Vader and I stopped watching it. And then on the playground I tried bullshirting my way in conversation with older kids, pretending I had totally watched the whole thing. Haha.
Sorry, my mind just went off on a nostalgic trip to neverneverland.

It’s 1:30 pm, I have held out long enough. It’s time for soup. That’s the nice thing about being a hobo recluse, I can have dinner when I want to. I can have dessert before dinner, I can have dessert before AND after dinner. I can have three times dessert and no dinner. I’m a bad boy I’m a rebel. But right now I just want that leftover soup.

Deprexercising

February 4th, 2024

Good goat times today. A nice and mild day. Mostly overcast, but the clouds not so heavy that it was all dark. A little sun breaking through here and there. Cold but not freezing, next to no wind. Very comfortable.
Whn I got there, I found the three little ladies all out in the big pen, Sky and Bella up on the platform, Luna below it. First time they’ve been out there in the morning since some time in December, before the snows and storms hit. A sign of better weather, if nothing else.
And we had a good time as always. A couple of nice visitors. There was a kid, I forget what his name is but he’s been there several times before. And he’s a firecracker full of energy, running around. You could tell that his lady supervisor had her hands full with him haha. He came in and fed the goats, but didn’t heed Jeanette’s advice not to hold the snacks up high. Soon he had Bella jumping up on him, practically taller than him when on her hind legs. That scared him a bit and he went “They’re monsters!” but he was soon running around happily again. And he really liked petting Sky, probably because she’s a lot calmer.
We all went out in the pen too and he climbed up on the platform and slid down the ramp a few times. He was having a lot of fun. It’s always nice to see people enjoy being with the goats.

Jeanette ‘borrowed’ some more fresh pine trimmings from her neighbour. Here’s Bella and Sky enjoying it.

Luna was a chatty cathy today. She was talking a whole lot. Normally she mostly talks back when I’m making noises or gestures at her, or she’s reacting to stuff. Today seemed to just be a lot of general bleating going on. Maybe she’s the one in heat now? They grow up too fast, sigh.
I was chatty with Jeanette too. I finally worked up the courage to ask about the pavemenet tiles. Jeanette is easy to talk to, but I still got lots of hangups. Talking to humans doesn’t come easy to me. Anyway, sounds like we can get a few more pavement tiles for me to build with. Jeanette said she had a meeting coming up with Andrea, about budget stuff and things like that. I took the chance to ask her how she thought ir was going with Andrea. How long has she been the leader at the playground now? A few months I guess. I remember before she started we were talkinga bout how we weren’t sure what to expect, the new boss could be a bad one, someone who wanted to get rid of all the animals. But Jeanette told me that she was super happy with Andrea and it was going well. Which aligns with my experience as well. I don’t see Andrea that much, but she’s always friendly and king, I am really happy that she comes out sometimes to help with the animals, especially that one day after the big snow storm. I don’t think animal care is really on her job description, she’s more supposed to be managing things and dealing with the humankid side. But she’s doing the work and she seems to vare about the animals and prioritize them. Jeanette said they’re getting a seperate budget for the animals and the stuff she does, so she doesn’t have to be under the general budget. So that’s good. She seemed optimistic about things, talking abotu plans to add things to the playground, like maybe some vegetable garden sort of thing where kids can help grow vegetables. Let’s just hope the goats don’t break into it!But yes, good talks.

Bella taking a rest. Another sign that the weather has gotten better. They don’t like to sit when it’s cold and wet. I don’t think I’ve seen Bella sitting during the day for months.

Managed to get on my exercise bike today. Phew good stuff. Got in 58 minutes, more or less. Not bad. I was going into the cooldown period when Idioteque came on the exercise mix and I had to ramp it up again because that is the perfect exercise song, for me at least. So that got me an extra 10ish minutes. Now my legs are quite borked. But hey I’m doing smething. I’m trying at least. Let’s hope I can stick to it this time.

“I’m so hungry, if you don’t feed me I’m going to EAT YOU”.
Calm down, Sky! Haha. I just thought the picture kinda looked like she was screaming in my face. She wasn’t of course.

Phooey. Today didn’t go as planned. I had planned to go see the goats. Had tummy problems during the night, threw up a little. Probably psychosomatic. But I ended up staying in bed for some 12 hours. Sometimes it’s hard to face the real world.
I did eventually get up and do some exercising, 1:10 on the bike. So the day isn’t a total waste. But I’m still disappointed in myself and feeling sad and tired. Hey ho. One day a day.

In case you’re wondering how things are going, I just read that there are traffic advisories coming because of snow next week.
Sorry, I gotta pick my head up from the desk, hold on.
Oh boy. At least mama will be making soup soon. ut I really don’t need more walks in the snow. I’m going to have to start a gofundme to get me a snow scooter. Or, santa isn’t using his sleigh and reindeer now, right? Maybe I can borrow those. Or a helicopter and a parachute. Just spitballing.
Teleportation, how’s that going? I don’t care if it’s science or magic, I’ll take it. You need a guinea pig to send through the portal? A canary in the conduit? I’m your guy.
What a mech. Robot legs?
Can a human roll himself into a ball like that insect and then roll along?
Jetpack?
Orbital wobble? Like the game we’re you manipulate the marble through the maze, can we shake the planet so I roll to the goats?
Tunneling?
A flamethrower to clear the way?
Let’s workshop this.
