Empire Farm Days

I am on vacation this week, initially planned for the sole purpose of working at Empire Farm Days at Empire State Meat Goat Producers Association's tent. It is their first appearance at EFD. Believe it or not, I forgot to take a picture of it. Well, I know why. I am sick again with the same GI malady that struck in November when I went to doctor after doctor for test after test (one more day of illness and a colonscopy was promised to me!). Needless to say I felt better after that visit. Well it is back and came back the night before my birthday. After 2 days of being laid up I thought I could manage a day at EFD. Eager to miss more than my fair share of porta-potty visits, I bought an OTC remedy and popped it on the way. That was a mistake.
It made me very light-headed and I somehow managed to be cool clammy and sweaty in 90 degree weather. And very out of it. I ended up spending the last part of our trip in the truck and Gary struck out on his own, but I did manage to take a couple pix. Just a couple.
Gary has taken the whole week off and the plan was to get work done around here but I am still laid up with this nasty bug. We hope to visit our BIL tomorrow as he is in the hospital after having a truck accident. Something about rolling a 10-wheel dump truck over an embankment on a hill is not good for your health. We stopped to see his truck on the way to EFD and were quite impressed. The man at the garage was quite impressed as well that Wiz was ok after such an accident. We are all sending healing thoughts his way and hope he gets out of the hospital soon.
