Ahhhh good morning. Finally got the sleep I needed after being awake roughly 40 straight hours .
As promised, here’s why.
My son chose to raise a pair of pigs to show to his fair project(remember the pair thing)
One is really good, the other is about average. Well pigs had to be at the fair by 7 am Monday . So around 6pm Sunday, we tried to load the pigs into a trailer. The good one weight over 300 pounds, simply laid Down right in the loading chute and would not move. Then she literally fought us.
This circle when on until my wife and son gave up, him in total tears cause he’d worked so hard, spent his own money and now wasn’t going to get to take his pig to fair. They went home around 9pm. I however am a stubborn asshole and kept trying by my self in a thunderstorm and downpour.
Finally it hit me, he has two pigs,try to load and take the other one. Sure as a politician lies, that other pig ran right into the trailer no issues in about 30 seconds…. By this time, it’s 0230, I rolled into the fairgrounds around 0315, got the thing penned up and left around 0430. Got home at 0500, showered, had to wake everyone up to leave because my daughter had a rabbit show at 8 and pig had to be weighed at 730…
Rabbit show lasted till 530pm, then the goat show that 3 of my kids were in, started. Got home around 11ish last night.
But when he found out yesterday morning at 6 am that he was going to have a pig at the fair after all, made it totally worth it and then some. Kid spent every waking second yesterday pampering this dang walking piece of bacon. This one is only 170 pounds and not near as big as they want them to win but oh well. He’s thrilled and hasn’t stopped smiling.
What a week so far. Pig show is today.
And Sunday will be a hog roast… pig 1 gonna find out …
