My pickup's odometer hit 100K this morning. Of course when I bought it a year ago December, it had 78K miles. DW's van just hit 150K a week or so ago. My hope is still to keep the van at least as long as it takes to pay off the truck. I hope to have the truck paid off September or October, or maybe even November 2015.

Remember when I posted the picture of the goats a few weeks ago? And one of the goats was much smaller than the other? That smaller goat has continued to have health problems, including now a torn ligament in one of her hind legs. She won't make a good fair goat now, or a good breeding goat either. She'll be a pet. I'm guessing that mother goat stepped on her foot. We've separated the young goats from their mother now.

So, DD2 needs a fair goat now. Because of the very harsh winter, a lot of the goats born in Jan. and Feb. were lost, so there is an actual goat shortage now. At least a shortage of meat goats of suitable age for the fair. DW did some calling around, and found a wether (castrated male) goat to buy. The owner is asking $50, which is cheap. The problem is, it's a dairy breed, not the meat breed we've always used.

DD2 is happy, which is all that really matters. She won't be in the run for champion, but she wouldn't have been even if the other goat would have been healthy enough for the fair.

Today is the last day of the month - pay day for me.
