I am the waterer whisperer (erer)
My sister Lucy and her husband Josh are in town for the weekend because it is his father's 50th birthday this week. So I had the pleasure of picking them up at the Indy airport last night at 12:15. This morning, both of them helped me move our meat chickens out to the coop and put up a creep gate at the entrance of the goat stall to stop the cows from coming into the barn (and making Mr. Strickland look like a big wussy!) And then Lucy and Josh went out to see the cows and Lucy noticed that the waterer in the Chicken Gypsy Wagon (which is a movable vehicle we built so we could free range the chickens. So I went out to milk the goats and feed the our two bulls (and this morning I chased them into a new more grassy lot, well I more enticed them by throwing corn out into the lot). I can back in and started the milk pastuerizing and decided to mow the lawn around the house (it got really long) and then I went out to check on the waterer for the chickens. I lifted up the plastic cover and found that for both the switch for the float was stuck so no water was coming out. I pushed is a couple times and now the waterer was working again. Then I went to the coop with the meat chickens and pheasant and saw that neither waterer was filling with water. So I check to see if the float was stuck or something, but that wasn't the problem. Turns out the spigot that the line for the waterers was not working for some reason. So I move the line to another spigot and now both the waterers are working. Then I walked through the garden as saw that the spinach and lettuce that my mom and I planted are up and both plants seem resistant to the rabbit scourge. Or perhaps Maddie scared them off with her fierceness! I have to admit failure on a part of the day, because I didn't make cheese today!"Bobby, you kicked your father! We all think about doing that but we never actually go through with it!"-Connie Souphanousinphone, from the episode titled "Bobby goes nuts"
