It's so hot here that I can only go outside early in the morning and late in the evening,  (I'm not the man I used to be).  I did manage to haul two 50  bags of horse and dog food in the house and one 50 lb bag of laying pellets to the chicken house.  I can't just sling them over my shoulder and carry them in like I used to do, but I get them where they need to be.  Thank God that fish food is not heavy.

I have a garden cart but I haven't needed it so far.  I back the Peamite up as close as I can get to where the feed needs to go and carry it less than 20 feet.  From their I drag it to where it has to be.  I'll not buy a dolly until I can't do without one. 

Just 2 weeks until my appt. with the neurosurgeon's nurse practitioner.  I never thought that I would be looking forward to seeing a neurosurgeon but I am now.  It appears that even mama bears get old and break down at some point.
