Been drizzling and cold 45 degrees here last couple of days and I'm tired of it.

I want to finish my last 100 acres of beans but hoping everything planted doesn't rot in the ground.

Wife thinks were gonna work on the yard today.

Yeah I'm probably gonna do it.

Anybody need help in fields today? I'd much rather help you.

Gary

We're real dry out here in eastern WA..... couldn't get the plow to go in the ground for the last job, had to irrigate for 12 hours first. Garden tilling has been a dust storm, weeds have sapped out all the moisture. We usually have rain up till July, but none in the forecast.

Oh yes david I remember those days well.
Had four daughters and one year they were in five different leagues.
Had 126 games that year.
I made it to 107 of them. Dad thought I was nuts.
I was working 40 hours at welding shop,farming and raising hogs that year.
Good memories tho. Wouldn't have changed a thing except trying to make more games.
Made 4 towns and 6 games one Saturday.
Enjoy it now. I did.
Gary
PS Oldest granddaughter had very first game last week so now the games begin again.

Thanks Gary, I'm gonna try and enjoy it but I just don't like the idea of playing in cold and wet weather together either one by itself ok but not both, my daughter is only 8, and my son is only 5. Thanks again David

Gary,
Come in down, I"m going to slog around in the mud and fix a tractor tire today. He"s gotta mow hay so it can get rained on. I"d rather be in the garage working on the VAC for a tractor drive.

Doc One of my good friends runs a tire repair business.
Once and awhile I go help him when he has several big tires to fix.
You guys earn every dollar you make. Its tough work.
And then guys ?itch about the price of the bill.
I'd like to see those guys do your job for a week.
Friend had a call once to replace rears on a 1066 and customer said it would be parked in the drive.
Got there about an hour sooner then he said and there was 1066 so he changed them about that time customer drove in with another 1066.
Wrong tractor got tires.
Had to change again. No charge

Hey Gary!

You're setting in that front that went thru here last week. Cold, wet and miserable. Nothing grew.

We finally broke out yesterday, it warmed up and everything jumped three inches overnight.

Hang in there, nice weather on the way. :>)

Allan
