This hasn't been a bad week. No goat kids or lambs yet, so it hasn't been a ton of work. The weather was mild at the beginning of the week, but it's gotten colder.
A few 'newsworthy' things happened. One of them was that I broke the well in the barn. I ran it dry when it had no power, not realizing it had no power. One of our friends is coming on Monday to look at it. The well being broken is a pretty big deal. The normal amount of water used per day is around 6 5-gallon buckets. It's not an issue at all when you can just stick the bucket beneath the well pump and fill it while you're using the next one. But without the well, I have to walk two buckets to the house, fill from the faucet outside (or from the bathtub inside, if it's too cold and the faucet outside won't turn), and carry them back to the barn. They're heavy and it just takes time.
The other interesting thing that happened was that I was in an auto accident yesterday afternoon on my way home. The good news is that nobody was hurt, and that I am not at fault. The bad news is that my car may no longer be safe to drive. I was slowing down to make a left turn on a two-lane road, and a truck behind me decided he did not want me to stop, so he passed me on the left just as I was starting to turn, and he clipped my bumper. He pulled my bumper half off and torqued the front of my car. Pictures are here if you are interested.
Luckily I have the Jeep to drive, since Andrew is out of town. I have already contacted both my and his insurance, and I assume things will start to move forward on Monday.

[...] Today I’m leaving work early so that my car can be towed. The guy’s insurance found in my favor and they are paying to have the car towed, estimated, repaired (ha ha, they will total it), and a per-day rental car allowance. That’s a relief, since a police report was not filed. If you are in an accident, no matter how minor, get the police out to see it! [...]

Some good points. There's a few things you could do to cut your insurance premium; easy changes such as improving security. People always search to find the cheapest insurance estimates. Actually if one changed simple stuff to make you less risky, you'd probably save just as much money.

Wow - what a crazy few days you've had. Glad you're okay. As for hauling water - I'm not sure if it is going to be long enough without a well in the barn to justify a quick shopping trip but back when we were living at the yurt we owned a few of the big blue 7 gallon water jugs with a spigot on the front that they sold at Wal Mart. They could be filled, sealed, and then carried in a wheelbarrow to wherever you need to go. Then you just unscrew the spigot and pour it wherever you need it. Saved us tons of grief over hauling 1 gallon juice bottles which is how we started.
Oh, and the photos link you provided seems to require a login but the standard wordpress login doesn't seem to apply there.
