Overjoyed

I am overjoyed that I have my picture uploader back. The simple things in life! I have no idea whether Google fixed their blogspot problem or MicroSoft sent an update that formatted Explorer to blogspot again. I complained to both. I don't care what happened, I am overjoyed that it did!

I also give great gratitude to God for not sending us too much rain. My friend Lew in southern Indiana got over 5 inches and a friend in southern Illinois got 7. We are probably less than one which is great at harvest/planting time.

I must remind myself that whenver I harvest I must plant again. I got my dry fertilizer program applied to my harvested field before it rained but didn't get my cover planted yet. I might be able to do just that next week. Gratitude!

"Soil was meant to be covered" has become an important phrase to me. We always did that when I was a kid and it is still true today. Soil IS meant to be covered. A seed dealer called this morning to make sure I have enough to plant. Thanks, Matt, all of you. I have talked to 3 different Matt's the last day or so.

I was on the way to WalMart to take my new broken broom back. It didn't last an hour. No thank you, China. The one from TSC is still pushing but it is hard to find a broom that will last. I found 2 and they both walked away. I forget who I ordered them from online. Pretty bad when a push broom walks away!

I never go to WalMart but Lowe's had none and TSC had one so I felt forced to go to WalMart nearby. I don't like the company, I don't like to shop there and I do not like their food or junk. I know, they have some good stuff and some good people but they never appear to me. The breakfast sandwiches sure smelled good though while I was waiting on the UPC code so they could give me another broom! It fell off too!

The neighbor boys helped me finish the last bins yesterday. We hauled out bags of infested grain sweepings, vermin and trash onto the field. There is still a lot to do and it always seems there is around here. I wish Bill would come help me replace a pencil injector in one of my diesel engines.

Ha, I called him and he had no excuse not to come! Just maybe I will see him this afternoon!

Blogging is great, it makes me think what I need to do while I am writing to you. It's even better when the image button shows up on blogspot!

  1. Well the Waltons wouldn't be in the Forbes 400 this week with over $100B in assets ($20-30B for each of the 4 family members) if they were in the business of selling durable brooms... ;)

  2. That's a good one, Chimel, you got 'em on that one! Shop broom quality has really went downhill the last few I have purchased.
