what happens when you have too much coffee and no breakfast...

1. Stare at the eyesore of a truck canopy resting on pallets on the ground where you park your cars.
2. Flip the canopy over, tie a horse lunge line to it and drag it across your lawn.
3. When you reach where your Christmas trees were harvested (stumptown) start flipping the canopy end over end until you reach your destination by the goat paddock.
4. Drag those pallets over, and better grab a few more that are laying around the property...
5. Make some measurements, pretend you know what you're doing, get a drill and screws and start attaching stuff to stuff.
6. Have a beer.
7. Ask for help placing the canopy on top of the pallets, even though you considering flipping it up there on your own.
8. Make a bunk bed for the boys.
9. Bring your first buck home to his house.

Goat pictures coming! I still have to fence off the area so the boys won't be out there until Tuesday so that gives me time to clear space on my phone to take tons of pictures of the new guy

I keep looking at this, and it may be the best buck hut ever. Of all time.

I use the old toppers too. Got one built up on supports with wheels so I can hook on it with the tractor and move it around with the portable electric fence.
