Son of a gun...

Well today I was mixing corn silage up for the cattle and I decided I would listen to some music so I put in my earphones and turned on my iPod and after 15 minutes I was tired of listening to music and turned it off and stuck it in my pocket


I finished mixing silage and decided it was time to feed it so stopped the tractor and checked my pocket for my knife and thought I would get my iPod just to make sure it was still there and no iPod

Needless to say : It fell out of my pocket and got ranover

There goes $150

At least it was an ipod and not a $600 iphone. Trying to look on the bright side for ou. It could always be worse.

That's why I am a real big believer in making younger people purchase their own toys. The sense of ownership is stronger when one is spending their own money. My friends kids were losing phones every few months. I told him they weren't losing them, they simply wanted the latest and greatest. Since he had been buying them (they are 25 and 28 yrs old) they could care less.

He stopped buying them and they haven't lost a phone in almost 2 years. He pays the service bill so he knows when they make changes, etc. and he insists they still have the same phones.

One month, the two of them sent over 6,400 text messages combined. That's over 210 messages per day.............I can't imagine.......
