Well...not easing, more like jumping. Two days ago the ground fault interrupter on the receptacle for the stock tank started tripping. Result: frozen water. So I decided to switch the heater, just to see if that's the problem and not the receptable or the wiring. That one didn't even wait a few minutes; it just tripped the GFI as soon as I plugged it in. It's 16°F today, which is considerably below the freezing point. It's wonderful how failures like this never happen until the worst possible moment--or weather.
Bucket shuffle! Five gallon heated bucket came out of the Saanen does' stall so Angel could have water. Extra two gallon bucket went into the stall. I have to fill the 5-gallon bucket 2 or 3 times a day, but that sure beats carrying water from the house. I take comfort where I can, and I'm very grateful right about now for that extra heated bucket.
The hay net continues to be a hit. Beatrice and Leah chase everyone else away when they can. Angel, of course, is too big for them to intimidate. I'll be glad when I get a couple more NAG bags. One is not enough to go around.
