Good goat times today. Lovely sunny day. Enjoying the last weeks of summer. Soaking up all the sun we can. Lots of siesta times with the furballs. I mean, the furteat. Sorry.
We had a nice group of visitors today. Kids and adults in the goat pen. Feeding and petting the goats. There was a sweet little girl who stayed in the goat pen on her own when the rest of them left to play on the swings and do other things. But she just wanted to stay and look at the goats. She was stroking Luna’s back for a long time. Sweet. And Luna has been very good at letting the kids pet her. Everyone is on their best behaviour.
And then just back to relaxing in the sun. I may have laid back and halfnapped a little on the mountainside. Master of my domain. Don’t tell the real masters I said that.

I think I may be suffering from PTPD.
Post Twin Peaks Depression. I’m so sad I finished it! I already made a post where I expelled my praise and lvoe of it, so I won’t go on about it. But what a masterpiece and I just want to start over and watch it all again. I do still need to reread the last book, but that’s only about a 3 hour audiobook. Wishing good health to David Lynch, sad to hear his recent announcement of his health problems. I never like when smking is portrayed as something that makes characters cool in tv or movies. It ain’t cool, it’ll kill ya. I noticed that in TP. I wish Lynch hadn’t smoked all his life. Well, he said he isn’t retiring, so I’m going to go on living in the hope of some kind of continuation of Twin Peaks. You neverk now. Although the three seasons and a movie are absolutely perfect. I still don’t comprehend half of what happened in the last episode, but I love that. As I always say, i’m the type who enjoys the questions more than the answers. I love the mystery, whether it comes in a box or a movie or a show. That’s why I love shows like Lost and Twin Peaks. It’s a vibe, man. It all cannot be said aloud.
But on the plus side, now I can get started on my Lost rewatch soon. I have to go back!

An hour thirtyfive on the bike today. Going going gone. Well, still in the same place. The nice thing about a stationary bike is that you don’t have to find your way back. it’s always more comfortable in starting position.
Keeping at it. I can feel the quality of the tomatoes and cucumbers in stores is starting to get worse, though. It’s still summer, I’d think they would still be good. But I don’t know. Tomatoes, cucmbers and apples have been a huge part of my diet since I cut bread. I got soup days and then I got green/red days. But that will be changing soon. Not the soup part. The soup is my constant.
If you can spot the two Twin Peaks and the lost references in that post, then you’re my kind of people. And if you can’t, well I still love and appreciate you for caring enough to read the boring jammer I spool on the intertubes. Hello and thank you, friend.

Good goat times today. A bit of a cold and grey morning. But the sun came out and it turned quite lovely. Before a little rain on my walk home. So it goes.
Pretty quiet day with the goats. No visitors today. Jeanette had to feed the carrots she had prepared for visitors to feed the goats, to the goats. That sentence got away from me. But yes, when no visitors come to feed the goats then Jeanette has to give the carrots to them on by her own self. The goats are happy enough whoever gives them the snacks. Because you know, they are poor starved creatures.
Now i’m going to have some soup, because i’m a poor starved Lasse.

Good goat times today. Bit of a cold and grey day, though. Not very summery. Light rain on and of. Had to bring my jacket for a change.
We had a bunch of visitors today. Jeanette had warned me in advance that there might be a lot of people. It wasn’t too bad. I think the bad weather kept some away, and kept most of the others overy by the campfire, where there’s some shelter. Jeanette was making campfire soup. Now if the pancakes she made that one time didn’t tempt me, soup surely did! But no soup for me, today.
Some of the visitors did come to see the goats. Sweet kids in the pen. The boy called Svend was back. He’s the one who knows all the names of the furs and feathers. Her clearly likes the animals. There was a sweet girl too who was petting Luna. Luna was just standing still and enjoying it. Kind of like she does when I’m brushing her with the brush. I’m happy that she’s being such a good petting goat now, after the earlier times when she was a little pushy a couple of times. She’s doing so well now, hope she keeps that up.
But that was all quite nice. And then I came home and got an hour and a half on the bike. A workout and a half for me today. Maybe I should have had that campfire soup…

How do you guys feel about cutting a goat’s beard off?
I was thinking about it for Bella, because her beard has grown a little. Not a lot, not nearly as much as Luna’s. But enough that it makes it harder to tell them apart in some photos.
I remember we once considered painting something on Bella’s horns, but it turns out covering the horns may not be the best idea because it might obstruct the horns ability to.. do stuff that’s good for goats, something about heat and stuff. I forget the exact thing. But it wasn’t recommended when I read up on it.
As far as I can tell, cutting a goat’s beard of wouldn’t be a health problem. I don’t think it’s really known what goat beards are for, there were some suggestions but they didn’t really seem very likely, especially for goats living the easy life like ours.
I don’t know, I just feel kind of bad about doing it haha. Like it would be mean. But it’s not like her beard is very big at all. I wouldn’t cut Luna’s off, it’s bigger and more.. part of her? Funny since she’s the little goat. Bella is so much more bigger, so much more dominant and strong. You’d think she’d have the huge beard. So much for gender stereotypes! Luna is also the one doing most humping and grunting and snorting. Yes, I did actually at one point check to make sure she wasn’t just a little buck. That thought did cross my mind.
Anyway. Anyone have any thoughts about this? Would it be mean? Have you done it if you have goats? Any reasons not to do it? Would you be mad at me? Would Bella?
I’ve though about putting a bow or something on her horns, but itw ouldn’t last long, and I just don’t like messing with the horns either.
Anyway, leave a comment if you have a thought. Related to the subject. Most of you probably ahve thoughts. I don’t want to brag, but I have a thought in my head like at least a couple of times a day. I am so smart. S M R T I mean

For refence, here’s bella and her beard. NOT ME, the actual beard. It’s not super prominent. But it’s enough that in some photos it makes it harder for me to tell them apart. If I’m there with them I can tell them apart, but when at home looking at photos it sometimes gets difficult. I’m blind, that’s my excuse.

Got an hour and a half on the bike today. I wasn’t going to do it since I wasn’t feeling so great. But then I pushed myself to do it because that’s the kind of can-do macho attitude I excel in. Not all heroes wear capes, but I’m definitely going to get a cape.
And I promise I won’t let it go to my head. The cape, I mean. It goes over the shoulders, not the head. See, I am still so s m r t.
Anyway.
It was an effort. But it paid off with a new record low on the weight, so that’s nice. How much of that is muscle weight lost though? The other day Debbie commented that with all the fruits and veggies, she wasn’t seeing much protein in my diet. And I hadn’t really thought of that. I do get some protein in me, but since I went on the stricter diet I don’t think I’ve been getting near the amount you’re supposed to get. My legs and arms have been getting stronger with the exercise, and clearly my brain muscle is am get big and strong work good, so that’s can’t be can’t be can’t a porblem.
Anyway. I need more protein. Tomorrow I got a pepsi delivery coming, and I decided to stuff the basket with some protein stuff. I’ve been eating sugarfree licorice as snacks, they have almost no sugar or fat. They doo have a ton of fiber, so if I eat too much well let’s just say I don’t have constipation issues. They have some protein, but not enough. So, I’m going to try to replace them with something with more protein. My first choice to try is something called Skyr. Google says it’s called Skir in English. It’s something I’ve heard of but never tried. It’s a dairy product. I found some that has zero fat, not a lot of sugar. Lots of protein. I don’t know if it’s something I can eat, I’m a very picky eater, especially with new things. But my plan is to try that for a week or two, see if I can still lose weight while eating that, see if there’s a reaction in my blood sugar levels. I’m still planning to go back to a more relaxed diet soon. But I figured I’d give this a try and see how it goes. My metabolism is probably underperforming right now so I should probably be careful adding more calories to the diet, not rush in.
I have no idea what the hex I’m talking about with all of this, I’m pretty much just making it all up as I go along. But I’m to 44 pounds lost since November and my blood sugar has gone from “needing medical attention” to perfect, my blood prssure has gone from trending on the high side to perfect. So something has worked okay for me so far.
Anyway, today is soup day, brain say go soup now brain smrt listen brain. punctuation!

Heard a loud sound outside. My first thought was that it was an explosion. Or something BIG falling over. It’s 10.30 pm. Looking at the weather forecast it says rain and possible thunder tonight. Guess it was thunder. Had me spooked for a second. Didn’t sound like thunder, but I can hear more now. Hope the goats are cooped up snuggly together.

Got my pepsi&protein delivery this morning. So i’ll be trying out some Skyr tonight. Let’s hope it doesn’t make me go all Ramsay on it. YOU DONKEY.

Well, I had my first taste of Skyr just now. Went okay. I actually tried two different kinds. One of them was pretty good, the other not so much. None of them exactly made me ecstatic. i don’t think I’ll be eating them for pleasure. But I’ll try a week or two with them for protein, see how the weight, blood sugar and exercise goes. Take it from there. One day a day. And then the day becomes the night. One night a night.

That’s all for now.

Good goat times today. A beautiful sunny day. Up around 24C/75F. That’s hot for Denmark.
I don’t think we’ve had any days up at 30/86 this summer. One or two that got close. But no scorchers. But plenty over 20/68. For me it’s a good summery day when it’s above that.
Just trying to enjoy the last weeks of summer, before hte gloomy months start approaching. Better not think of that yet.
And sweet times with the goats. Summer vacation is over, hopefully we’ll start seeing our regular visitors from the neighbour school soon. There were a few people going by today, but none that stayed very long at the goats.
So we just relaxed in the sun. I maybe have laid down on the plywood board and taken a half-nap. Roasting in the sun. Well baked. Lots of treats and cuddles of course. The goat days of summer.

Busy day of goating and tech support today.
My parents got their new printer, and I promised to come over and hook it up.
First I had to get some good goat times in, though. Even if it was shorter than usual, it was still good to spend time with the furbles. I did get a little worried when the skies suddenly opened up and a massive, heavy rainfall started. There I was in my t-shirt, no jacket or raincoat. Jeanette asked me “don’t you have one of those small packaway raincoats?”. I do. I just.. hadn’t brought it. Oh dear. Thankfully the rain stopped before it was time for me to leave. Otherwise I would have gotten completely soaked to the bone.
But I went off to my parents place. It was easier when we were at the old playground. My parents place is more or less halfway on the road between my place and the old playground. So I could swing by more easily. This playground is not on the way to my parents place. So now it’s a bigger detour. It’s a bit of a problem with my bad back. I took the bus for half the way, but there’s still a fair bit of a walk. But I got there. Got the new printer unpacked. No USB cable in the box. I’d been worried about that, since everything is wireless these days. Thankfully the cable from the old printer worked. The new printer is basically a newer version of the same model. It would have been a big bummer if we had to postpone it all and find a new cable. But got it hooked up. It took some work to get it all in order, but got the computer to see it and got it to use the new printer instead of the old. You’d think when there’s one printer connected to the computer and one printer ‘offline’ it would be smart enough to figure to use the available printer, not hte unavailable one. But no, had to set the new printer as the standard. All of this done hunched over with my magnifying glass, trying to read the screen. Again, stuff that would take me 10 seconds on my own computer takes ages and is much mroe difficult there. The printer gave soem errors, first with the ink cartridges then with the paper feed. But I got it sorted and it was a relief when we finally got it to print the first page. Phew.
Thought it was all done then, but then my mother tried printing a recipe from a site and it came out with not as it should, so I had to spend more time trying to fix that. But I think it was a problem with the site she was using, it was doing something weird with the page formatting. She tried another site and it worked fine. And my dad could print his mails. When we talk to each other I usually send him an email afterwards with the details of what we have agreed on, because otherwise he will forget it immediately. So he prints a lot of mails from me, and other stuff I’m sure, to remember stuff. That was the main priority, getting that working again.
And it seems like it’s working. So that’s good. i’m happy that I can help them with tech stuff. It’s frustrating now that I’m increasingly getting ‘left behind’ by new tech. I haven’t followed the evolution of tech stuff as much since I started losing my eyesight. Like wireless stuff. I don’t do wireless connections. I need wires. There was a day when it was unthinkable that a printer would come without a cable. Now I guess it’s standard. At least it still hast he USB port. How long before that just goes away?
And my dad was supposed a photo to his doc of his hip, after his falls. But sending photos over the computer is kind of beyond them. And I can’t really help since I don’t know anything about smartphones. His phone has a camera, but I have no idea if he has a cable somewhere to connect it or if it’s supposed to be wireless too. I can’t help them with newer phone and smart device stuff.
But I’ll stop rambling about all that now.
Walked home, thankfully it still stayed dry. But my back is killing me now. It’s been better in the last few months. The weight loss probably hasn’t hurt, and I got psoas massager that I use on my back before leaving home and I bring it to the playground so I can use it before walking home. It seems to help my back a lot. But when I’m out for a long time and walking a lot and in uncomfortable positions in places I’m not familiar with, my back pain still gets excruciating.
I need a nap now.Sorry for the blabbing.

Good goat times today. Lovely sunny day. Hot and humid. We had more heavy rain coming in overnight. But it stayed dry to and the sun dried everything off nicely.
Lots of visitors today. The neighbour school friends are back from vacation. Some old faces, some new. Good to have them come by again. There’s especially one lady who is always nice, I think her name is Cecilie, but I could be wrong about that. But she’s always kind to me. You can tell she cares about the animals, and appreciates what Jeanette and I do for them. She told she was glad to see me again, and the goats too. Some of the kids came into the pen and got some closeup time with the goats. And feathers. There is one boy, Svend, who knows the names of the goats, and the feathers. He’s better at their names than I am! Yes, the newfeathers have names now but I only really know Susie, the big white one who isn’t Henrietta. She’s a sussex. The two other are Hanna and Maren, but I’m not surew hich is which. Is that all of them? Henrietta, Sonja, Susie, Hanna, Maren. Yup, five feathers.
But that was all lovely. And then home for an hour twenty five on the bike. Phew. Pretty beat now. Time for soup.

Oh yeah. I got my results from the doctor visit last week back. My longterm blood sugar levels are… “exactly how where they’re supposed to be. Good job”. Hooray! So that was a success. Last November we were talking about maybe putting me on new meds because the levels were too high. But I wanted to try to fix it with lifestyle changes, which I’ve managed to do before. And I managed to do it again. Let’s hope I can manage to keep it down this time. At some point I’m going to go less restrictive on my diet, we’ll see how that affects things. I’ve kind been back on the strict diet, after the pizza and Corn Flakes break I took for a couple of days. I’ll probably try to keep it going for a couple of weeks longer. But I do want to get back to eating a little more normally.
Happy to have lost all that weight and gotten my blood sugar down to where it’s supposed to be, though. I’ve been working hard on it, so it’s satisfying to see the results.
Thank you all for cheering me on and listening to my b&m.

My Twin Peaks rewatch is almost at an end. I am loving it so much, it’s been a great experience going through the whole thing. Still need to finish the last two episodes and then reread the last book. But just, what a masterpiece. Beautiful, frightening, thought provoking, hilarious, melodramatic, spiritual, ridiculous, hammy, slow, fast, brilliant and wonderful. What other show could feature the words “see you in 25 years” and then actually come back 25 years later and be the best thing on tv. Twin Peaks could. IS it about the bunny?
Anyway. It’s about bedtime for me. Just finished the Eddie Vedder episode. I am not a big Vedder or Pearl Jam fan. Respect from my afar was my relationship with him. But I have been listening to this song over and over since this episode aired for the first time in 2017. I love it so much.
🎶 And I am who I am, who I was I will never be again. Running out of sand.
Who I could have been, i’ll never have the chance. Running out of sand🎵
Man, I feel that so hard. Sometimes I feel like there’s just a single grain or two left in the hourglass. And what could I have been? I don’t know. There’s another us somewhere with much better lives,
Okay, goodnight folks. Here comes the sandman.

Anyone else getting just a blank page when they try to look at their notifications?
Strange, when I switch to the goat page, the notifications load there. But not on my personal profile. Maybe fb just realised that they’re forked up the notifications system and are getting rid of it alltogether. I am tired of it.
My dad was just over, he seems to be doing pretty well. A big swelling on his leg from the falls, but other than that he seems to have recovered well. So that’s good.

I want to trap Dave Grohl in ember and keep him as a prize for thousands of years and then the aliens can extract his dna when they try to bring back the human race after we nuked ourselves into oblivion.

Got an hour thirtish on the bike today. Still working hard. And good results, dropped another couple of pounds. Great motivation to keep at it for another couple of weeks. See how low I can get before I start easing into a more normal diet. I tell you what, it’s kind of surreal seeing such low numbers on the scales. I have been at least 20 pounds heavier most of my adult life, and at times 40 all the way up to 60 pounds heavier. Estimated numbers, but the point stands. If I didn’t wear a belt, my pants would be dropping around my ankles. And we wouldn’t want that now would we.
