a whole lot o' poopin' goin' on

Got up in time to watch the full moon set this morning...a great way to start the day. After last evening's wind storm it was dead calm all night long. Morning chores were really glamorous here at the Field Lab. Collected 2 wheel barrow loads of longhorn dung from around the yard. The big cows leave nice concise piles that are easy to scoop up in one go, but the calves like to drop lots of little pellets all over the place - they look like large junior mints. Worked on another compost bin for longhorn dung only - I don't want to mix the DNA from my humanure compost (just in case a home cloning kit comes out on the market anytime soon). Cleared a spot for my next delivery due tomorrow from McCoys. Called the shipping container guys in Ft. Stockton and it looks promising. Will head up there Thurs or Fri to hopefully pick one out. Ended the day with a nice hot shower. In my never ending quest to provide insite into life at the Field Lab - here is another nice blast of color from tonight's sunset. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO_18raXemk
