Bad days in lost land

A bad day became a bad week.

So last week I get my fingernail pulled out from the roots by a pig. Messed up the finger good. It hurt but life could be worse. Tuesday I get a call from a neighbor wondering if we were having a burn fire. No why? I guess one of the ATV's shorted out and burst into flames and burnt the side of the house. Broke a couple of windows and caused some smoke damage. Luckily a neighbor saw the smoke and drug the ATV away from the house and hosed off the house.

Wednesday morning about 2:00 Mrs. Lost hears a noise. She gets up and looks around but sees nothing. About 10 minutes later the dog barks and we get up again there are sirens in the field. A drunk driver ran off the road and took out a section of fence. He will live at least until his wife gets a hold of him. Anyhow I moved horses around and into other pens until I could get the fence fixed. Not sure what I have done to deserve this but I am saying uncle.... But it could be worse. The house is standing, the fence has been fixed and some day the finger will quit hurting.

Yikes LF. That's 3 bad things, for sure, so hopefully now you're done.

But here's a happier way of looking at the week: it's lucky that you lost the nail and not the finger; lucky that you have good neighbors and that there wasn't any serious damage to the house; and lucky that no person or animal was killed by the drunk driver. :)

Three incidents should mean you are done for a while! Hope the finger feels better soon, and glad the house wasn't worse damaged. Fences ALWAYS need attention at the worst time, middle of the night this time, but no one got loose or hurt.

So things should all be looking up for your family now!

Not that a pulled out fingernail is fun. That must have hurt!!! :mallet:

Jingling that the black cloud leaves your house and you get everything back in order!! :jingles: :jingles: :jingles:
