Today I decided to wear a hat I have owned for a little while... OK so I have owned it for a fair while but I rarely wear my ridge line hat. Its just a spare hat I have. I rarely go shopping at many shops unless if it is something I need to get for the farm. That there was only one shop I was stopping at. It had two choices in the cap design. Ridgeline and Oska, I didnt like the Oska cause I didnt get it at the time ever since getting back into farming a little while back and then later on realizing months and months ages after I bought the Ridgeline hat. Anyways I found another hat after that which I wear more often than any other. Until I went to this once a year function where I found a hat which I seem to wear the most. So anyway I rarely wear the Ridgeline hat that today it was the first hat I put on. Every time I have worn the hat I have so far skinned a few animals. To find what was wrong with what looked out of place if it was found on my fathers farm. Only rarely do I not find something when wearing the Ridgeline hat. Most of the time I find something fresh which has just died when wearing the Ridgeline hat. The kitten be looking its eyes large, ears slanted and claws reaching to climb your leg for what there is in hand! Wallaby!!! ***Runts it aint done yet! Get off my leg you *****!!! To after it is skinned again this time in one bounce this orange fluffy thing leaps into the air! The black of its eyes wide it has covered the whole eye of each eye! Its ears slanted flat to the sides. Whiskers fine yet the tip points towards the orange fluff balls legs meo-ouch the claws stretched out wide do not look towards the meat in the hand. A good lesson to learn for the cat will climb your leg so lovingly ears slanted back and those teeth sharp it swipes for the meat. Well anyway today. What I thought would be a simple start on the farm so I can get to my brother Stevens Birthday party... It first started as all my brothers went to lunch and I had to go move the cattle across the road. All by myself. To move more than 20 cattle acros the road by yourself, Well Its a heck of a lot of fun. Really it is. You got to be here there everywhere whilst remaining calm. I succeeded in getting all the cattle across the road **relief** Next job. Check sheep in shed and feed horse. Then head back to the place I need to go to get ready for the party. Haha the last part didnt happen. A lamb was dead in the cattle paddock with crows going at its eye??? Hadnt been there before??? I went over and checked on the last years born lamb. Under his elbow he was still toasty warm. Called my father and let him know what happened and thus landed myself into the job of investigation of what happened to the lamb and it had to be done there and then. That lam was still as warm as a toast. With the slight tinkle in its eye I thought at first it was a female. Found just before I started skinning.it, it was a male lamb. There was a hole must have been just over 1/4 of a CM by the heart going through the rib cage just above the sternum of the lamb through to the other side. A perfect shot at the heart. Still could not be sure until the lamb had been fully skinned. With the only knife I have it has not let me down yet every time I have taken it with me to the farm, My Winchester. It has been the best out of all the knives I own the Winchester. Anyway skinned and investigation was just over 2 hours. It was still toasty warm through the lamb from last years lot born I think round September/October. Found a slice like mark right through the lung which I had not cut through yet until I got to the heart of the lamb. Which looks as though the heart had filled with a lot of blood, One of the arteries was clogged. I would possibly say it died of a heart attack. Either way I had enough of investigation and had to head home there was cooked lamb, chicken, beef meat to eat and I was starving! OMG Investigating something to the detail I am finishing it up with the fact it either got shot by some idiot and the hearts arteries clogged up with blood and now its skin and wool, head hang on the fence and I am so going to get a feed and so finished up the rest of the job and helped Dad feed the cattle then went to see to my horse making sure she got a feed and has plenty of water which both of she did and checked on her coats. The cats got a feed but some possum come along and ate the rest of their left overs as they sat there watching the big fluffy brush tail eating their feed not knowing what to do!!! Grr cats! Sometimes really they should be like a Dog and just attack the stupid possum with their claws and teeth as dogs would use paws and teeth as well to rip em around for thieving their food. Then I done a double check on the horse and the cattle were happily silent with their feed tonight. Then me and my father got back to the house and there was already some cooked roasted lamb, chicken and something beefy as well as a salad and potato cooked in its skin still. SO loaded up went to the plate in my hand just before 6Pm and like gullet it was gone before anyone could talk! haha ate it down. Oh My GOSH!!! FOOD!!!! Maybe next time I will think better before wearing my ridgeline hat again. This always seems to happen if I put this hat on first out of the rest of the hats I own except for 3 or 4 or almost 4 times out of all the times I have worn it. I hadnt had to skin an animal and the cats got the wallaby meat and they were so delightful that no one could come near them except for the person who gave them the meat cause they thought ALL MINE! GIVE IT TO ME! Anyway after the investigation I was that hungry I am just going to saying either some idiot shot it after the sunrise and it hit the lung where there was a tear I didnt get to with my knife yet. And will assume by the blood clogged in the arteries. It died of a heart attack. ;/ Ok I am hungry again! desert time!!!! :D Cake and ice cream!!!! :D :D
