Hayburner, unfortunately we don't expect phone service until Friday (we called them two days ago and that's the best they could do!) so except for little stops once in a while, I won't be around much.
I introduced myself to the goats and got them to eat out of my hand. The previous owner's dogs are still there and they also seemed to remember me and stopped their yapping and growling.
I am looking forward to the Titans playing on MNF, but doubt I'll get to see any of it. I'll listen on the radio like usual, but in the future we will have a TV for local channels.
