Week 2 of Duck Season

Sorry I have no new pics to post this week. I have been very busy and no time to get to the farm. Here is how my week went.
Dachser had surgery on Monday. He had a tumor that turned out to be cancer so I had to have him neutered. I will find out on Monday if they got it all. He just turned 2 a week ago. I figured if I could live without a body part due to cancer, so could he. Ha-Ha!
Tuesday I took an 83 yr. old friend, Ann, to the Dr.for her pre-op check-up and on
Wednesday I took Ann for her procedure.
Thursday I did Ann's and my grocery shopping. I took care of my Thanksgiving shopping. The store had a sale and it was their coupon day. If you spend $50 you get $10 off. Also they had spend $50 you get your turkey discounted. The store was packed. I was pushing 1 cart and pulling the other but I did get $20 off and 2 cheap turkeys. We will eat the other one for Christmas.
Friday Susie had neck surgery. They had to remove a disk in her neck, add a donor bone and put it together with a plate and screws. The Dr. was very encouraged that she didn't have the numbness in her fingers and arm that she had had before surgery. I spent the night with her and on Saturday I brought her home to my house to take care of her. She is in quite a bit of pain and just catching cat naps. Dave stayed up with her last night so I could get some sleep. She needs to wear a neck brace if she is up and moving around. No driving for her until she sees the Dr. in 2 weeks.
On Friday Dave went out to the farm and the pump for the New Lake and Old Lake had a blown fuse. Dave said it was very hot. On Saturday he said the pump burnt up. He has someone coming out tomorrow to see if it can fixed and also about having a second well dug. This would help in the filling of both the lakes. Each lake would have their own pump, if it can be done. Dave could also put a pipe from the Old Lake pump to the New Lake so we could fill it a bit faster by using both wells/pumps for one lake. That lake is much bigger than the old lake. We will see tomorrow.
Dave is busy putting on fertilizer at the Bethmann Farm with the row till. Always getting ready for the next season. Howie has been out there helping him.They had to get a new alternator for the JD8630 and put in new wires to it too. There was a small fire. Howie has been a great blessing to both of us. Thanks Howie. You are a wonderful second husband.
Well I hope to get you new pics for next week.
Happy Fall!!!
Love,
Mickey
