Bro do you even lift
And they say you don’t give a crop…..
When I was I kid and working for a farmer, I loved harvest season. It’s cooler, the smells are different and it’s nice to see the results of all that hard work. Good memories
Probably the best ever. With current prices... not quite good enough to be profitable. So it's a weird situation where I'm disappointed with the best yields I've ever had.How’s the yield looking to be this time around?
In this business there's more of the latter .Somethings you can control, somethings you can’t……….
Do you ever hedge a bit with some futures?
I also didn't buy an airplane this weekend. Today's not looking good either. I did, however, drop a bit of change on good BBQ.I did not buy a new airplane today
You don't have trees on your property?I've done my research.... After having spent nearly 2 weeks sleeping on a cot and hiking the woods in New Mexico...bears do in fact **** in the woods. And so do I. Gonna be an adjustment when I get home.
3 acres of em. But no bears. That's the adjustment.You don't have trees on your property?
No farmer here would consider that situation to be weird. Consider yourself lucky!Probably the best ever. With current prices... not quite good enough to be profitable. So it's a weird situation where I'm disappointed with the best yields I've ever had.

In other news, I am now night current in everything I'm rated to fly. So it's definitely fall. In late June, 'night' for currency means 10:56 p.m. to 4:55 a.m. and I just don't fly much during those hours. In late December, it gets to be 6:04 p.m. to 7:40 a.m., so lack of currency can really cramp my style.
Maybe it's just me...but I stopped watching the NFL a long time ago, when it seemed like the needle was moving from something like college football to something like professional wrestling with corporate sponsors. Then again, I ramble too much and want to yell at people for being on my lawn.
I can't take that one seriously at all. If the players are someone that *I* could knock over, let alone anyone on the second string team from the high school I went to, it just doesn't seem like a contact sport to me. My version of football has..or had... "blocking", where that means a 6'2" 250 lb person running into someone and launching them into the air, without any need for penalty or explanation. Football is a game of strategy, tactics, and violence. Maybe it shouldn't be, but if that's the case let's just decide to retire the sport and let people play more civilized gentlemanly sports like baseball.Football, you say?

And that describes pro football, which I don't watch. Try watching a D3 game, or high school or even a pee wee game. Much more fun.American football is 5 seconds of actual sport, followed by 2 minutes of "analysis", replays of those 5 seconds of movement, and light beer commercials. Boring. Throw in the occasional challenge where teams get out their lawyers to disagree with a call, and you have plenty of time for a nap.
Even D1. I used to not watch any of it; then my youngest played from middle school through high school, college (NAIA school) and even one semi-pro game. I still done care the least bit about pro football, but I did develop an appreciation for college ball.And that describes pro football, which I don't watch.

How do they do that? Rum is supposed to be fermented and distilled sugarcane.sugar free rum
1 - congratulations! I'm positive that wasn't easy.Not news worthy, but this morning I weighed in at 191. Down from a high of 247.
How did I do it you ask.?? Well, it is just one tiny pill I take once a month.
Ha.....you wish it was that easy.!!
It took dedication, determination, plus major changes in diet and even what I drink. And no wavering, no occasionally sneaking a little bite every now and then. I only walk 2 miles a day but need to get that to at least 3 miles.
And if I am a good boy and stick to my diet and other routines then on Friday I get 2 ounces of sugar free rum mixed in with 8 ounces of fat free, sodium free, carb free, sugar free including no added sugar, caffeine free, protein free but with 2% of my daily recommended value of potassium, lime flavored seltzer water.
yum yum.!!
sugar free rum
How do they do that?
... So I landed on the idea that you're drinking a glass of air.
Unsure, but apparently it is a very expensive process...How do they do that? Rum is supposed to be fermented and distilled sugarcane.
Nice to know that my rum is not a cheap brand, I mean at almost 3 bucks for a 1.75 liter bottle...Many cheap rums add sugar for flavor.
If you ever visit North Dakota, make sure to try my dairy-free eggnog. The recipe is far too complicated to share online, but you start with a glass of bourbon, neat, and then drink it.Unsure, but apparently it is a very expensive process...

It is also nearly carb free, which also proves to be a very expensive process...
That might explain why it's never been written down. All I know is that it's 100% dairy-free.That sounds like a Kentucky eggnog.
The handheld radio I use in the Cub has a feature where it checks, every one or two seconds, for alert broadcasts on one of the weather band frequencies. That process includes you missing a syllable once every one or two seconds in AWOS and other long transmissions because it silences what you're actually listening to to check the weather band. I didn't know that that's what was going on until, one day, a Silver Alert went out on the weather band alerts and my radio switched over so I could hear all about it. The alert was that a 60-something guy in a city 200 miles from me had walked out of Thanksgiving dinner upset and his family was worried. That was the day I turned off all these alerts on all my devices. They're basically the boy who cried wolf alert system once you start using them to alert a whole state that one guy was grumpy on Thanksgiving.Fun Fact 1 - I have my phone linked to the audio panel so I can call for clearance at untowered airports.
Fun Fact 2 - I, being the humble and perfect example of an exemplary citizen, am subscribed to the Amber Alert system. It blares out a warning at the highest volume possible.
Fun Fact 3 - When flying an approach and talking to ATC, getting somewhat important information about cleared for approach, other traffic, etc., AND since I'm that low I also get cell coverage,.......
Yeah, just a bit "distracting". Got to remember where that "Mute" button is on the audio panel.
