Things are going well around here. I really seem to be making progress, catching up on things and finishing up some small projects. One project was adding a Pan Tilt Zoom Camera outside. It is not totally finished yet, but the main camera is now movable so I can pick different places to watch outside. I can see Zippy, the yearlings, the weanlings or the back paddocks. I can also zoom in and out on each location. I still need to figure out a few things with it and I was wondering if I could program it move to certain locations by itself. I was also hoping to control it over the internet not just our network. That way I could check on the farm when I am away from home. The camera is actually a model that has been upgraded and therefore was affordable. I used it at the dairy expo and as long as I had it sitting around I thought I should put it up and see how it lasts. Stay tuned, because you never know where it might be pointing.
The yearlings are getting back out on grass now that the water hydrant is fixed. It will take them a little while to get back there full time. I will be bringing them all in soon so when the farrier gets here later I will not have to go out and get them. If you wait until the last minute of course one of them will not let me catch him and then I will be running around like a fool with everyone watching. I speak from experience!
I have been talking about Elvis with a farm in Missouri and they seem pretty interested. They are going to have the vet give him a once over this week to determine if they want to buy him or not. They currently have 2 horses- one yearling and one 8 year old quarter horse. We shall see what happens!
