Oh my aching back , hip, knees if only I had become a office worker instead of a manual labor .....
Wait a minute , I was an office worker , well sort of , Teaching school was a great job , Got 3 months paid vacation , only had to show up for 185 days to work , what was I thinking ? Full pention after 25 years .
Started farming on a shoe string with nothing and 40 years later I have most of it left plus the shoe string . No pention , bad back , weak mind , poor hearing , but would not trade it for any thing else .
Well good morning all it's a lovely day blowing snow and a balmy 15 degrees , sun pokes out , snow blows , clouds over , sun peaks , lovely spring day . !!
Yesterday was so lovely , spent the morning out in the shop with doors open , got the new 12 KW gen set mounted on small trailer , hooked the Kubota to it and we now have stand buy power @ the turn of a switch . Ready for the Lions of March . Plus have 7000 gallons of fuel on hand to run it .
Ag show in Lethbridge Alberta ,Canada got to go up and see all the new expensive machinery . Makes one glad they retired , let the next generation of farmers try to make a living and pay for the inputs and equipment .
Now to get my mortar built ... Need it for our annual 4th of July "Blow the farm up celebration ."
couple years a go my son in laws nephew who works for the US goverment was here .His job is so classified that he can only say he works for the Goverment .... Any way he showed us how to make really big bang with sparkelers , Even Jack the wonder Airdale went looking for cover after the first one went off !
Was in Gt.Falls Tuesday , Picked up some more 17HMR ammo @ Scheels , Hornaday 17 GR V-MAX on sale for $99.99 a box of 500 , $11.95 by the single box .
The other Hornaday 17 GR is called Varmint Express , Both have the same muzzel velosity , a little different color box on the new stiff , Wonder if it is a design change on box or what ? Any one else seen or try'd out the new ?
