I am definitely going with the theory that the world ended in December of 2012. We don't actually exist but our minds couldn't accept that fact as our concept of existence is based on the relationship of consciousness vs nonconsciousness. With out that conflict, we don't know if we exist or no. In fact probably all the real Christians were raptured and us chronic procrastinators, trash talkers, inappropriate, losers are all left behind.
However, without the rules of the Universe holding everything together, or "The Hand of God," random and crazy things happen. There is no longer order. It it is all falling apart.
Or not.
My wife finally got her knee replaced. She set it up in advance, she applied for medial leave, (which the State of Oregon has screwed up-because that is what the State of Oregon does) and was going to go to work Monday. However, work is slow and so she is being laid off until it picks back up.
I suspect this will result in even more paper work and confusion and possibly problems for her employer and us. You can't collect unemployment and state paid for medical leave at the same time. Having the medical leave paperwork filed and then being laid off before getting an official medical release to return to work will undoubtedly confuse the system.
In other randomness, the local weather people were convinced we were going to have wild thunderstorms, hail, possible tornado. My former supervisor texted me to make sure I stayed safe. I was running this large forklift. (see below) There was no thunderstorm, hail, 60 mph winds, but it did rain for a couple days.
I am not sure that alarmist predictions by the US Weather Service is going to say them from the crazy cost cutters. I have gone so far as to disable the weather alarms I used to get as not a single one of them was accurate.
I am looking for the thunder clouds which didn't appear. It was a dramatic sky. No hail. Just rain showers.
My nephew adapted a junk loader to this junk tractor. I think it actually may work. I suspect the key to happiness is just lowering your standards for success.
I have been making feed pellets. This is 1/3 alfalfa hay and 2/3 oat seed. I sold like five tons and now I can't even give them away. I actually have progressed to where I am making a decent pellet. I got a tip on adding apple juice at the roller instead of just mixing molasses into the mixer grinder. The sugar liquid at roller makes more friction and thus a better pellet.
My neighbors are convinced I have a genius plan have given me lots of encouragement. However I am going broke at it,
I even resorted to filling bags. I was going to buy a sewing machine and do 40lb poly bags but decided to try burlap first. They do look rustic as heck but weigh 70lbs.
The bag with the double xx has a little hemp bud in it. My neighbor's goats have been getting out so we decided to get them stoned for a couple days and see if it helped. No word yet.
One of my neighbors has a business of selling plastic totes. Sometimes they have material left in them and he has to pay to dispose of the material. I am seriously thinking of dumping this in my molasses tank.
I have been attempting to spray. This whole gator sprayer was a dumb idea. Now my GPS cable has failed. My computer died. Farmer GPS won't return my calls. Probably because Johannes H. is worried Trump will invade Stoney Plain, Alberta.
I need this weird Tyco connector. It is for a Novatel Smart 6L antenna. This should be the same as maybe an Ag Leader but I haven't found anything. Doesn't really matter if
FarmerGPS only will run in trial mode.
My neighbor hit the train last week.
He spent the night in the hospital and was back to work the next day. He has a neck brace. Making jokes about not completely swallowing his Viagra Pill and getting a stiff neck causes him to laugh which then affects his neck which makes him laugh more. This never gets old. I suspect this guy is the only person who has hit a train because he had
Sandi Patty turned up too loud on the tractor radio.
It is now time for me to build up the fire and get my wife another ice pack and a hit of OXY. Hope all three of my loyal readers have a nice day.
