Gerry, the emaciated horse is doing OK. He was not so food aggressive last night and even let me scratch his ears. He's still anxious for his food, but isn't pinning his ears and charging me any more. I just keep talking to him and telling him what a good boy he is. I did growl at him once, but he was a love last night - he's just hungry and his hip bones are breaking through the skin. He started pooping Wednesday, so that's a really good sign. We just have to get him past the 2 week mark. Often they are doing great and they hit that 2 weeks and then crash.

I will miss going down there tonight, but I'm also really glad I don't have to!

Opening day of deer season tomorrow - which is equivalent to a National Holiday around here. I don't hunt any more, but am heading up to the farm around noon to see how everyone did. My step-daughter usually never misses deer season, but she broke some ribs a few weeks ago, so won't be making the trip here from Virginia. This also means I get some days all to myself! Setting hubby's alarm for 4 am.

I really want to see them. It's the last thing on my bucket list. I'm much further north than both Chicago and my daughter, but clouds got in my way.

I've been pondering sneak/melee. Sneak is great for thieving except now I have *that* piece of armour, which renders sneaking mostly useless unless I commit more points to it.

It's really nice being able to lockpick and hack, and my engineering skill is high enough to be really useful, but combat remains problematic. I might have to put some points into either melee or guns.

Thanks, Marian!

Those are ancestors of mine with a machine that also churned butter.

Thank you: Linda is having a tough time losing her independence for a while, and I am having to become rather more involved in housekeeping as well as taking care of her, quite a learning curve for both of us!

But what is it you are "calling out"? This sounds like one of those games where you have to type some instructions into that could be anything. It definitely doesn't sound like my type of thing at any rate. I still hope to hear from somebody who plays it what exactly it is you are doing.

Thanks for the information Ana.

Good one Dan.

Sounds good, Tally Ho.

Thanks!

Thank you, Marian!

Sweet, thanks for this.
