I have a great uncle who was a successful moonshiner during Prohibition.
It's not embarrassing, though I'd be a bit ashamed if he'd done all that work and not turned a profit.

Busy day today, out hunting and gathering. Costco for two of everything, the eye vet for an updated med for Rumor, Aldi for some fave food, Petsmart for horse toys, Tractor Supply for zero cinnamon bears (alas!), gasoline, and finally the library to drop off books.

1) They gave control to The Mouse?
2) Instead of leaving the Doctor on BBC America, they wanted me to sign up for a Monthly Mouse Fee?
3) For a whole season, they do the Buffy Musical schtick in nearly every episode?

If you've ever watched "The Wild Wild West" (the TV show, not the ya-gotta-have-a-giant-spider-in-act-3 movie) you've noticed the pattern in the titles. They're all "The Night of the X".
I think they missed the boat by not having a Steampunk King Arthur story called "The Night of the Round Table".

The fence was nearly completed yesterday. Still needs one rail, the posts topped, and a few other things.

Also thankful that the rain today was very light. The yard is already soft from snow-melt. If it had rained hard, tomorrow's fence work would be extra difficult.
And as I hauled corral panels through mud and horse poo, I reminded myself that I'd gone to college because I wanted an indoor job.

YAY: Starting the last phase of the drainage work tomorrow--some new horse fencing.
BOO: Getting up at 0720 because the contractor will arrive at 0800.

Fencing contractor coming tomorrow to finish off the horse fence by the new retaining wall. Today, we'll go out and move the corral panels to keep the horses away from the pool and the workers. And it's raining. Whee!

Yesterday I went back to the dump with the load thwarted by last week's dumpster fire. I was thwarted again, that time by a weather closure.
Today the third time was the charm, as the old saw goes, and at last my rubbish had been left in the midden for future archaeologists.
