Gone

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Tuesday evening and I am just a little bit on the shot side tonight. Cutting wood all day, or most of the day between different chores that pop up here and there. It was raining in the morning and I just worked outside right through it to get er done and out of [...]

Rain Ah Coming!

Monday, October 6th, 2008

I had better write this post fast because I don’t know when I’ll have to unplug the old computer. Looks like rain coming and I hate frying computers from lightening, been there, done that, and I don’t want the expense of a new one this year, (or next). No I’ll just keep [...]

Laid Back

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

Its finally Saturday evening and I’m a bit too tired to do anything beyond setting back tonight. Fresh air and honest work have a way of doing that to a fella. Got the fence all up across the county road and the cows are getting fat the last couple of days and it [...]

A Timid Preacher or Not

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Day after day putting up fence around here and I should be finished up tomorrow Lord willing! The weather was good today, sunny out and in the sixties and they’re talking up frost tonight and tomorrow night. I had frost on the building roofs this morning for a bit but don’t see any [...]

Den of Vipers and Thieves

Monday, September 29th, 2008

“You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”
Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, who said these fiery words to a delegation of bankers in 1832:
“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and [...]

Let Us Be Therewith Content

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 1 Timothy 6:7-8
We had us around 3/4 inch of rain this morning. Surprised me, I didn’t really expect it. At least not that much. But around noon [...]

The Awakening

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask for forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know your Word says, “Woe to those who call evil good” but that is exactly what we’ve done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it [...]

Done!

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Done! Done with chopping corn! The pit is full and I’m more than satisfied. There’s still a 16 acre field standing of Minnesota 13, looks good, and that’s for picking in later October sometime when its dried down and will store in the corn cribs. Oh Lord, what a feeling! Now its straighten [...]

Rain Delay

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Had us a rain day here, and no silage got chopped today. And that’s OK cause I’ll be back out there tomorrow and Saturday weather permitting. This rain should cut the dust in the fields, the last three days were some of the dustiest I ever had chopping silage. But the yields are [...]

That Old Hereford

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Again the week is coming to an end, and as I stated earlier, fall is in the air in these parts. Nothing freezing yet, but short sleeve weather has slipped south for a bit. Got everything ready for the main chopping of corn silage today and plan on starting Monday or Tuesday. [...]
