On Target Miniatures - foal updates December 2014

Thanks Cassie - you just made my day!!!!

Cassie you could do the early shift and I will do the later one

 

[Becky]

Mary, does your Equipage have an internal battery? If so, it may be on the blink and that will cause the system to not function properly. You can take the cover off the repeater and disconnect the battery. It should work properly after that.

My Equipage has been in for repair for a month! It was supposed to ship back to me this week, but I haven't heard anything yet......

 

[targetsmom]

Thanks Becky - If you mean the battery inside the box that the antenna is hooked up to, we removed/disconnected that a long time ago. Maybe it was your advice on here where we learned about that fix? One of the transmitters seems to be working now, so as long as we can figure out which mare needs it most, we are set. We also still have our backup Foal Buzzer and baby monitor which we may have to resort to. As if foaling season isn't stressful enough anyway.....

We changed all the batteries last night - 9 volts and AAA and I think that helped one transmitter but the other seems to have a bad connection for the 9 volt battery.

 

[Becky]

Ok, Mary. That's the battery I was talking about. I know those can make the systems not function correctly if that battery is getting old. Hope it keeps working correctly for you and it pretty much takes a back up system to foal these mares out!

 

[Eagle]

At least I don't need batteries Mary

I am off to bed now, I will post as soon as I wake.

Cassie you could do the early shift and I will do the later one

Dancer was just down sternal and got straight back up again 7:47pm

 

[targetsmom]

You guys (sorry - Aunties!) are just great!!! We think the alarm is working so with you two as back-up we may try to catch up on our sleep tonight. But if Dancer decides to foal tonight that is just fine too!!!

 

[cassie]

If I can't watch I'll get someone else to kep an eye out for me, but I'll definitley be here for at least the next 4 hours

[AnnaC]

12.40am Toffee down sternal (glad t hear the pager now working Mary) and Dancer now standing snoozing near her door.

 

[Eagle]

Anna good morning

why are you up so early? Cassie how long will you be watching tonight?

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! Morning Renee - I've been up since 4.15am (will suffer for it later!!) due to sounds of horsey domestics going on outside. Went to investigate - yes you guessed it, pouring with rain! - but found nothing out of the norm, so soakig wet, I decided to change back into my night clothes and go back to bed. No such luck, wide awake! So made a cuppa and booted up the laptop. Now I'm just beginning to feel like sleep, but too late, may have to do a short 'catch up' nap this afternoon! The dogs I might say slept through the whole thing and are still snoring away on my bed as I type - they often dont wake up until I get IN from my early morning chores, when they suddenly realise that it might be breakfast time. LOL!! Lazy whatnots!!

 

[Eagle]

Lol Bicky is just the same, she doesn't get off my bed until I am walking out the front door

you will be tited later

I feel aweful this morning, I watched LB until late and switched the light off after 1.00am now I am tired and have a headache

 

[Eagle]

Dancer is out flat and waking Mary no doubt
