Something.

.
.
Nothing fancy.  A can of sardines, the last of the cream in a fatted coffee, and insulin.  Now I just have to let that settle, then on to bed.  Tired enough, just not sleepy.  I will set the alarm, for... six and eight?  Yeah.  It isn't enough sleep.  Even so, it might do.

The goal is to do chores first thing.  Then do some yardwork.  Move the last of the logs over to the side area they are currently being collected.  Then begin raking up the yard, and putting a wheelbarrow or two full of twigs in the trailer.  Then, hopefully, empty that.

That would probably be as much as I can do.  Though, if possible, filling a last wheelbarrow, and getting most or all branches piled for one, eventual, last load.  The goal is to have the yard done by this week.  And, maybe, get the rabbit hutches all moved to a better place.  Further, maybe setting up the last set of cages and getting all of the minis out to the outbuilding.  The rabbits seem to do better in the outbuilding, so I am putting the smaller, possibly weaker, rabbits out there.

The bucks seem to be... anxious to meet the girl bunnies.  Which is fine.  I just don't want them working on babies quite yet.  Too hot.  Depending on how the rest of the summer goes, I really don't think breeding will happen  until mid to late August, or more likely early September.  I have two males, I think, of each sort.  And... five smaller does, and three larger does.  I don't want to breed all at once.  There are limits on the males, my time to manage, and I am not sure how many rabbits I can process at once, and how many rabbits others would want.

If things work out, I could see, in time, getting two does going a month?  Though I would probably need an extra open feeder cage.  Possibly doing smaller litters in one, and the larger rabbits in the other.  If no one else claims them, I would have to cull them when they reach a certain age.  I could attempt to sell them, for food or pets, but... that... doesn't seem to work all that well.  I don't think they are worth the cost of feed, except as a food backup plan... much like silver, gold, and diamonds.  Highly liquid in some scenarios.  But in those scenarios, getting one's throat cut for that liquidity is just as likely.  Understand business, hunger, and desires.  Though, even then, you won't always see it coming.  And, if you do, are you willing to kill them all, if you are alone?  Trust me, they have already started coming for me.

Well, a bit of reading and listening, then on to bed.  Good night.
