The List

Our local TV station has a new program called The List.  It is a fast paced review of what is going on in Cincinnati, our country, our world and our universe.  Joe Biden added another reason Why I Can't Vote For Obama last night.

Joe Biden wrecked that debate. He was angry, mean and rude. He was not vice presidential at all. Do we want that leading our country? He was on the defensive with good ole boy, I am older and know better than you, you don't understand how it really is mentality the whole time. The debate was out of hand in 5 minutes, that Martha lady had more than she could handle. She butted in and had lost control early on. That debate was pathetic on 2 people's parts. That was no true debate. I hope the average American could decipher what was going on. Biden had NO defense but was defensive.  That came off as very offensive.  As a Catholic I can tell you one nominee is Catholic and the other claims to be.

I am working on my To Do List.  I made a lot of progress this week!  I took some corn samples to my 3 buyers this week and my May replant tested 22 to 25% water but the test weight is lower than my March or April planted corn.  Some of the kernals were flinty, small, light and not dense like the earlier plantings.  Still, with the Crop Report and the runup in corn prices yesterday I would still net $7.35 per bushel on that corn.  Should I store it?  I wouldn't be surprised to see corn test $10 next year.

My old friend Finkbone helped me replace a broken injection line on one tractor, weld a hitch to my new one row notill planter, repair my broken grader blade and finally put a hitch on the Mule!  We got the electric powered Herd Seeder mounted on the back of the Mule so I can seed those bare spots!  We just made the Mule even more versatile.

I think we can notill our garden next year.  Take that, neighbor Bradshaw!  He has always teased me as being a teacher of notill while tilling my garden.  Hyprocritical, eh?  Right now I have the most beatiful stand of cover crop on our loose and fertile garden.  All I have to do is hook up my notill IH one row planter next spring and go to planting!

It is another beautiful day in southwest Ohio.  Jack will show up after bit and we can get to fixing my broken tile and drain three wet spots on this farm.

Then, I can add new items to The List!
