Well it’s been awhile and you guys are speeding up. Still 170 post behind. Was over 400 but more time lately.
Made it to 90 today but humidity while increasing still bearable. Lows in mid 70’s. Rain chances for next week that’s good and you’ll see why in a few.
Birds are gone more come in a week.
Did spring oil change on both tractors. Massey is at 54xx hours and Kubota over 900. Kubota is a 2015 model.
Lost a former vocational ag teacher a few weeks back. He was 46. He hurt his back over spring break. Then during the healing process fell at home. Then was bed ridden for a couple of weeks. Doctors thought he developed pneumonia but that turned out to be a misdiagnosed blood clot. The blood cot is what ended up killing him. He was still an active teacher in another county here. He was the teacher that jump started my FFA involvement. He signed for me to join his class without the prerequisite as long as I took it the following year. I was wanting out of the vocational program I was in at the time. Spent 4 years in his classes. Hadn’t seen him since right after my oldest was born. Wife also had him for 3 years.
Hay season not going as planned. The cutting and bailing tractor has puked a clutch. Dealer comes Monday to get it and change clutch. That’s why rain next week is good. Should be back by end of week. 1 farm cut and baled. 2 more to go. Although that farm had to be custom baled.
Many of you going back to work on light duty. I’m also on light duty. Went to doctor with abdominal pain and swelling. He thought I had hernia but those test came back negative but he sent me to a surgeon anyways. Surgeon thought it was my gallbladder. He was right. Depending on where your information comes from your gallbladder is supposed to work 35-80% or 40-60%. Well either way mine was working at 97%. Basically a big muscle spasm. So that was removed Tuesday laparoscopically. I didn’t handle the anesthesia well and had some pvc’s, heart rate and O2 problems. That all straightened out when the narcotics wore off. But it was enough for me to see a cardiologist and he didn’t see any reason for concern. Called everything side effects. But it also gave them a reason to force the sleep study on me. So I go Tuesday for a sleep study for sleep apnea. Wife’s happy. I was trying to avoid it because of my CDL. Adds lots of regulations. I’m on a 20 pound weight limit and missing a gallbladder. One incision is bruising really bad below it. Wife’s having a fit about that. I’m having trouble getting up and down. Really sore changing positions. Fine once I get in a position (standing, sitting or laying).
Probably not taking it as easy as I should but I’m the boss. I don’t get sick days. When I call in sick, myself tells me to get off my ***** and go to work. When an employee calls in sick the boss gets to tell someone else to do that job. See the difference.
Drew nice potato harvest.
Roy you might have found a grill already but here is what wife gave me for Christmas.
