Everyone at my house is sick except for me and the dog...

The cat is even coughing.
Wife and daughter are coughing and have sore throats. They are curled up on a heat register and look cozy except for the hacking cough...
I feel fine. Well, my back hurts and my head hurts, and I feel kind of foggy- but that is perfectly normal for me.
I should be on my way to plant.
One farmer (with the small fields) didn't want to wait for me and engaged someone else. The someone else has drill problems and didn't plant yesterday either. I took the opportunity to work on my drill. It would seem that after 7,000 or so acres you have to replace bearings on a Great Plains 1500. Who would have thunk? It is a bugger replacing press wheel bearings when it is cold as the rubber gets hard.
I had to put two new tyres on the drill. Over $200 each. Ouch!
I am sticking around to see if the family needs anything.
I have a funeral to attend at 3 p.m.
A friend died setting in his easy chair. I good way to go for him. Freaks out the friends and neighbors. I just hope he wasn't looking at porn or 3 and a half men or GLEE! I doubt they will say at the service.
Have a nice day!

  1. I guess everyone has his own idea about the best way to go. I remember one old fellow saying that he wanted to go at 110, shot by a jealous husband!

  2. Wife's cure for sore throat: juice of half a lemon, 1/4 cup hot water, a tsp. honey, one healthy shot scotch whiskey. She had it last night and today her sore throat is gone. I tried it too and feel quite better even without having had the the symptoms.
