Water Tank Plug

Sometime this morning both Dr. Hoerr and Dr. Pallen are coming to the farm to collect Raven for 2 mares in Morton, IL. Dr. Pallen is coming to observe, she will have to come collect Raven herself next week for the customer in Des Moines. Dr. Hoerr is vetting the shore to shore endurance ride and will be leaving on Friday.
Raven is so easy to collect that Dr. Pallen will not have any trouble even if she is a GIRL!
Velvet was glad to see me this morning, she had cleaned up all her hay from last night. She still had plenty of water. Her colt was lying down and didn't get up right away. He needed to be checked for swelling so was asked to stand up. He is sore but no swelling from the gelding. He was hand walked for 10 minutes but all is looking good with him. He was eating hay with his momma when I left. Jenis and Ylse at the cabin field are so funny. They listen for my car, mill around up front until they see me driving in then run to their buckets. All buckets and feeders needed to be dumped first this morning. We had an inch of rain in 15 minutes last night. Altogether an inch and 3/4s of rain fell from that storm.
The water tank in Raven's pen is leaking through the heater, we need to find the plug, pull out the heater and plug it up. If I can't find the plug we can always buy another one at TSC. Funny how even when we know we don't want to lose something we lose it! We have decided sometime before winter, one of our projects this year is to install an automatic waterer in the cabin field.
Before our work day new 2x6x16 boards need to be purchased and delivered. There are some fence lines that need repairing before the company comes August 22nd. It is SUCH a GOOD thing to have company once and a while.
