    I see Jeff is still addicted to Mtn Dew:-) He's worth his weight in gold. I was afraid he might not come back this season, but I'm glad he did. He's a lot of help.

      Keff, don't drink diet Mtn. Dew! The caffeine together with what is in diet...doctors thought he had a heart attack until found out he was drinking way too many diet Mt. Dew.💛👎sad. He lived several years afterwards.

      FYI. I´m also glad JEFF is back on the ranch for another OWL 2024 Season; this young STUD is worth solid GOLD BARS! JEFF´s experience, maturity and leadership is priceless at any given time when called upon to handle any job in the field. JEFF works hard and smart as any 18 year old cowboy in the country, that´s a fact. JEFF is my Captain America and a HULK at that! Thank you JEFF. GOD bless you my friend.

    Erin, when drawing up meds via needle, pull the plunger on the syringe back and fill it with air. Then insert the needle into the med bottle, push the air in and the pressure it creates, causes the med to fill the syringe without muscles.

I been teaching on line safety, you are doing the right thing, never put our kids your kis on you tube or other media site, it's the first thing, predators, pedophile s and traffickers check out and target, yes I know people do not like to talk about, but it could dave their lives, never allow any kid to have their own social media under the age of sixteen, Florida is the first state to mandate this. Thank you for practicing safe computer practices, I wish more parents did this.
