10/18/2020

(Above: Dawn of 10/18/2020; there were no cows in the southeast pasture.)

**Prepared for planting.** Tomorrow morning, regardless of whether or not the arugula has arrived, I shall be planting some of my available seeds. As stated in the prior post, the bags will house most of the radishes.

Summary: Today began with calisthenics, piano practice, and a brief bout of writing. I next ventured outdoors where I proceeded to fold down the tops of yesterday’s bags before performing the day’s first beef pasture inspection with Padre. On returning to Jacobhouse, I tended to a few house-neatening tasks and wrote for over 1.25 hours. Some PoA course review came next and then a visit to the Studio. Lunch occurred at 12:50 PM and consisted of baked potatoes, leftover chuck steak, and springmix salad.

(6:56 PM Update:) Afternoon activities were initiated with leisure, writing a minor portion of this entry, and working on this coming week’s PoA assignment. This was followed by cattle-related activities, including: moving feed-buckets, chasing a small herd of heifers up to the barn via Segway & flagging tape, helping vaccinate a couple of those heifers, breaking up feed with a pitchfork, and performing two beef pasture inspections. At the end of all this, I gave Padre a haircut and he returned the deed.

Excess skin. This young Beefmaster heifer appears to bear enough skin to cover two Wagyu calves of the same age.
Sourdough rising in the cast iron skillet. It shall be utilized in some bacon & egg bread.
Padre shenanigans; he left a ‘tail’ of hair on the right side of my head.

Final Note: Now that I am back within Jacobhouse, I intend to complete this entry as some bacon & egg sourdough bakes in the oven. I will likely place the eggs on the pizza about 5-7 minutes from the end, so they are not completely hard upon exiting the oven.
