Hello All
Well Today's stuff and a Sunday Project.
With 2 days of ice storm/freezing rain/sleet predicted I decided it was time to get my back up power generator out and started up.
Test Run. Also Pre-positioned at BC1 ready to patch power into camp. If Main power line goes down.
Normal Maintenance, change oil,filters, hook up to a 20 pound propane tank (Yes, Propane) Generator runs on both Gasoline or propane but I like propane for "Mechanical" reasons. Ask me about the advantages of propane if you want to know more.
I have more propane around BC1 than gasoline anyway as most things here life supporting run on propane. or can.
Back to Goats:
Pete and Sam had to check out the generator while I hooking it up. Then when I fired it up they jumped went 5 feet and came back to "Sniff" the exhaust. Sneezed a couple times, and walked off to browse.
==================
I re-stacked a couple 2 X 4 X 8 foot pieces of 1/2 inch plywood. guess what they made a bridge out of it, and it had "Flex" in the middle they had fun walking over it and fighting over who had right of way a couple times. I also have another 1/2 " piece of plywood Ramp they already like to play on to get to the top of their Goat hill.
So I don't think I will have trouble when they have to walk over a solid wood bridge at a creek crossing when we trail. ?
Comments appreciated.
Anyone here ever taken goats over " Small Suspension Bridge like for hikers" ????
The weather here is going to be cold and damp the next couple days, with wind.
BC1 is down out of most wind with a good wood lot around it to break up most direct wind. so it stays calm wind wise here.
Happy Trails
