Warriors post this weekend inspired me! Just wondering what everyone did today. I worked on a irrigation nightmare. 12” to 10” then to 8” plus the well hookup. Glad it’s done. 2 more to go!

Looks good. Taught JH and HS students.

I answered emails for half a day, then I took my son to a doctors appointment. It went well.

Looks like a good job you did there. Keep up the good work

Today, I set 744 quail eggs and around 30 chicken eggs. I pulled and froze some quail eggs that were just finishing hatching. I wheelbarrowed and dumped manure. I made 2 quarts of bread and butter pickles that are mostly onion, 3 pears and 2 small cucumbers that grew from a cucumber, that I threw out as compost in the Spring.

Lots of little things but a highlight of the day my youngest helped me fix his grandma's car. Had to replace the driver door window chase because the bracket was snapped. Before I started that she told me her wouldn't start. Every cable was loose as a goose and the intake box wasn't secured. She and her husband are driving to see his parents tomorrow.




My youngest

Slept. Night shift sucks

Started off getting my thumb snapped in a NO B S 1.5. That was amusing can't wait to get them in the ground. Don't suspect any pullouts after what it did to me. Then worked on a deer feeder I need to get hung and running this weekend. Finished changing the fuel pump on the 87 Toyota 4x4 I won 2 holloweens ago. She's good as new and ready for the season.

Took a boat and pontoon off a lake today. Normally this is a piece of cake but not so much today with 30 mph winds with gusts up to 50. Not my boats or would have waited for better weather. Older couple and it just had to be done today.....

Bolted up flanged pipe, mostly 6” on some H2S gas busters, replaced manway hatch gaskets on a chemical tank. Got a couple 500 barrel tanks ready for valves and plumbing. Nothing exciting

Started out (yesterday) hauling a load of 3 inch base rock to a company called old castle. They are expanding their staging area and the rock is for a road. Spent the rest of the day hauling dirt to them. Good black KS top soil. Its run through a machine that grinds clods and removes any rocks bigger than sand. They mix cattle manure that has composted for a couple years into it. Then its dried and bagged. Sold at Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot and others. Some is just called topsoil and some potting soil. They ship out well over a hundred tons a day of bagged dirt. This plant also does peat moss and mulch but dirt is the money maker.

Stupid question from a cattle guy. Why did you freeze hatched eggs??

I've got a hard job today. My phone took a crap, so am waiting for my replacement phone to show up sometime today. Now twiddling my thumbs.

Wash turkey drinkers and level the litter.

Nothing.

Mowed the yard, dyed a few dozen traps and now I think I'll have a beer

I sell the eggs that did not hatch wholesale for 10 cents each, to my main buyer, who resales them and retail, for 20 cents each, to people who feed the quail eggs to reptiles. I have a $20.00 minimum purchase. It beats just dumping them on my egg dump.

Keith

Thanks for the explanation Keith. Very interesting

You're welcome. There was at least one company selling frash, cleaned eggs for feeding ovivorous reptiles. I think I was the first to think of selling incubated eggs that did not hatch to feed ovivorous reptiles. Reptile prefer a stinkier egg.

Keith

very interesting.love to hear of somebody using a niche market i guess you could call it.

I know your pain!!

Did 28 years on 3rd shift. 11p to 7a.

Slipped out to sit here tonight

Golfed 18 holes. Stabilized 2 gallons of bobcat meat for bait. Cleaned up 100 lbs. of onions for storage. I was a productive little bogger!

Fixed knitting machines at work then came home and got some creek chubs for walleye fishing Friday. Also, got my old outboard motor out that hasn't been ran in 3 years and tinkered with that till it purred like a kitten. Now relaxing drinking a beer and watching the outdoor channel. Also, 4 coiled some Briders which took a whole 10 minutes.

Shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. He was an imbalanced used car salesman, oblivious to the importance of showing respect to potential customers and their family members.

did he forget a pill?

Climbed several trees as always. Cutting a view out on Beech Mtn NC

Great!!! He called me today and said if my son gave him $3000 in cash and wrote the check for the balance he could save us $250 in taxes. What a crook. Idiot

Wife lost her uncle so we went to his funeral. Vietnam veteran great guy and true Patriot. Got home and worked on more underground irrigation pipe. Spent an hour in the trap shed replacing unreadable trap tags with some new brass tags from a Larry Finch. Good day

Held our first work breakfast gathering. Took my students to a reality fair, they learned kids and insurance are expensive. Beded and fed steers. Tuned 16 No BS Extremes. Great day.

Worked on more irrigation jobs and watched my older three boys win a district football game

I need to cut some hardwood firewood.

Finish corn harvest in the snow. First grain corn field I have got to help on and the last. Great to have it done, and a good day to stay in the cab. Cold and windy.

Forgot about this one! I’ve been going in circles (literally) all week putting anhydrous on corn pivots. Can’t wait to get off this thing tomorrow. What’s everyone else been up to?

Loved night shift.

Done almost 37 years 3:30pm to 11:30 pm

Taking care of poultry. Fixed the tiller.

Spent way too much time yesterday putting a crank sensor in the hunting vehicle. Someone with hands a lot smaller than my big mits put the original in.
Relaxing therapy afterwards finishing up a dozen marten boxes.

Pawnee ever do that with a MF85 with no GPS or cab we had it so nice back in the 60's.

removed lower a frame on atv to be replace as soon as it is shipped to me.

Yes on the no GPS and no on the NO cab! Lol... Reminds me of a story Dad tells.


After a long day in the harvest field in the late 70's. My Dads younger brother was complaining about the AC in the 750 MF combine. Dad told him he had it great because the one he started on had a water cooler that only worked half the time. My grandfather Piped up and told them both how bad he had it with no cab or even a shade on the Oliver he used to cut wheat with in the 40's. Without hesitation Gramps my GGF got up. As he was about to the door. He turned around and said. "Goodnight boys..... I walked behind a D*** mule".
