Congratulations Bud. I had my fourth anniversary in September and I know it does feel great. We'll celebrate the big "5" next year.
-
Congratulations Judy !!! So happy for you and Stan. Now you can just enjoy your Christmas. Take care my friend.

Hey folks
Sorry for not being here in awhile. I have tried to find time to read almost every day but haven't been posting. Really busy time of the year with alot of traveling for work and trying to get everything on the farm ready for winter. I have a neighbor going through a difficult time with L/C so been trying to help him out as well. Thanks for thinking about me and yes Eric the tutu is put away for another year. LOL

Had my upper left lobe removed in September 2007 followed by 4 rounds of adjuvant chemo. Got my x-ray results on Friday and still NED. I thought the scanxiety would lessen the farther out you go but I think waiting for the results was the worse yet. Maybe because I didn't go for the x-ray until 10 months instead of the 6 like I was supposed to.

Hey folks
Another hot, sunny day in the north. Lots of grasshopper's just getting big enough to eat the crops.
I read an article last year that said in studies, the municipal drinking water in Toronto was better for you than bottled water. Can't recall the specific's of the report. From working with the City, I know water treatment plant's have very strict regulations to follow.
-
Well it is an overcast, humid day but still no rain. Another thunderstorm last night that produced about 10 droplets.
Still waiting for you to share Ann. LOL
Judy MI, sounds like you had a great weekend with lots to eat. I'm sure all the people there enjoyed Randy's cooking.
Lillyjohn, I think the only hill for miles is coming up the road to my driveway. Not much of a hill only rising maybe 20 feet over a 1/4 mile.
Good luck today Annette. Great to see that you have a Plan B as well as Plan A.
Bud a friend of mine caught a 35 lb Lake Trout last week just outside City limits. I think he has the video on youtube. Maybe search Prosperous Lake.
Sara great to see you here. All of us can use a laugh and an outdoor comedy show sounds like just the thing.
Judy KW, you tried to convince me earlier on email that there was a Sunday Air. LOL Seem's like you are the only person who read it. I'm beginning to worry that you are suffering from blurred vision having to do your own cooking ! ( Sorry sweetie. Just teasing ya but I had to get that one in there for Stan. LOL)
-
I think the cleaner took my eyeliner as well as your cracker jack's Annette. Can't find it anywhere. LOL
-
Busy place today. We had a little drizzle here today with chilly temperatures. Just enough to make it uncomfortable standing around at an auction I went to.
Bud you have the chain of events pretty accurate. But I think it resembles three's Company with the bull reminding me of Jack. LOL
Eric I would guess that Annette is right in the type of plug you have is the type on washing machines here. I also have that type for an RV plug in on my house.
Sorry I don't have time to reply to everyone individually but wish everyone a good weekend.
-
Well Judy MI I would love to know how they got those 4 bull's back home. I bought a bull this winter and have to move him from my coral to a pasture 1/2 mile down the road.
He is beginning to know me now though. When I go over to the coral with a bucket of oats he will come running over to where I am. Actually it is more of a bounce than running, with his head going side to side. An older farmer dropped by last week and he wanted to see the bull. Well the bull came bouncing over and the old farmer looked at me and said he thought the bull was gay ! Now that is not very funny when I paid $4000 for him and am depending on him to breed my cow's this year.
-
It's a deal Ann. After you send the rain, I'll send some fresh vegetables to use in those recipes that i'm sure you will get to trying. LOL
-
Ann if you would like to share some of those afternoon shower's we could use them here. I have never seen weather like this ! We have cloudy days where the sky is just black but still no rain. we are after having 3 thunderstorms in the past week and only got a few drops of rain.
Annette the only animals I ever planned on getting for the farm were a couple horse....for the exact reason you mentioned. But along with 1 of the horses came 7 Llama's because the owner was moving and planned to put them down. Then my water delivery guy showed up one night and was in a financial bind. So I ended up with some cow's. And it just continued until now I have alot of pets. I have lots of tree's, acre's of grass, canola and other grains all around me, etc. There are so many different odor's that you really do not notice one in particular and to be honest it is not as bad as I would have expected. LOL
Judy MI, I do environmental consulting work. Could range from cleaning up an oil spill, setting up a recycling program, or designing a new landfill.
-
Hey folks
Well my business trip up north got cut from 4 days to a 1 day turnaround. The guy that I am doing some work for had to leave town when his wife developed some complications with her pregnancy. Rescheduled everything for next week.
Well Judy KW I'm not into orchids just Alfalfa and hay for the cattle. LOL But I'm sure your orchid's are alot prettier looking. I have a big vegetable garden does that count ? LOL
Alan I always enjoyed the scent's in a greenhouse but since I had my operation I find that it bother's me now.
Bud I would love to retire and spend all my time here on the farm but my bank statement tell's me i still have to work. LOL
Hope thing's stop spinning and you are having a better day today sara.
-
Hey folks
Overcast today and looks like we may get a shower or two.
Sorry to read about your loss Judy MI. During test after my surgery I was diagnosed with COPD. They prescribed inhaler's that I took every day and still got short of breath very easily. Since I got out from behind the desk and moved to the farm, I do alot more physical work and very seldom take the inhaler's. Maybe stress was causing more problem's than the COPD.
Judy KW, good to see that things are returning to normal and your social life is in full swing. LOL
Annette sometimes the rule's, regulation's and paperwork can get more frustrating than the actual problem. Common sense goes right out the window.
Lot's of walleye here in the north with the colder water Bud. They are treated like a delicacy and a 5-6 lb walleye makes a great meal.
-
I have the same story as the rest. I haven't seen my surgeon since shortly after my surgery. Has seen an Oncologist since then. Every 3 month's for the first 2 year's, every 4 months for the 3rd year, and now every 6 month's for the next 2 year's.

Congratulations on the good results Annette. I went to 6 months last September and it is scary.
-
Morning folks
Yep another sunny, hot day here. At least it sound's like a good complaint.
Becky I'm glad that Judy KW posted first because I'm not sure I would want to follow your post. LOL Have you looked in the mirror to make sure you do not have a tattoo on your back like the guy in the advertisement ? LOL
Judy you have a busy few day's this week. You're not losing any battles and these results will confirm that. Never been to Seattle. LOL
-
Hey there
No rain here Bud. Everything just passed right over us. The temperatures have really cooled down though. Didn't think that I would be wishing for rain in the summer. LOL Just working outside for a few hours in this heat just drains all me energy. Not sure how you manage a 200k ride with temp's in the 90's.
Annette I think a beach towel is a great idea for a Friday afternoon.
Judy KW sorry that you failed the walking test. Did Stan tease you about that one ? LOL
Judy MI, hope that the storms miss you and pass over like they did here.

Hey folks
Busy air here lately. Good to see. Good luck on your check up Bud and on your results Monday Annette. Nice to see that you still have that sense of humor. When I read your post Judy, the Alan Jackson song, "it's five o'clock somewhere " came to mind. LOL Sara your post about not being nervous at the ball game really did put everything in perspective. Little things that bothered us before just doesn't seem such a big deal now.
We are supposed to get thunder shower's today but so far just a 30 second sprinkle. It is 14C/57F here now but where I just moved from 400 miles to the north, they are at 0C/32F. It was 23C/73F yesterday and snow this morning. In June !!!! Alot of very unhappy campers.

Hey folks
Another hot, sunny day on the farm. Moving the cow's to the summer pasture on Saturday. Will be gone alot over the summer for work and they are maintenance free there.
Sorry to read of MJ's passing Judy. This cancer is really giving your family a difficult time. Just not fair for one family having to go through so much.
Annette you really have your plate full. Sound's like everyday there is something new for the boy to get in trouble with. Hope that things begin to smooth out a little for you.
Did Sara throw a strike ???? LOL
-
Sounds like things are really improving Judy. Now you just have to not push it.
Another bright sunny day here. I cannot remember the last time we had rain. Someone said that we have only had 2 brief shower's this spring. Alot of farmers in the area are afraid of losing their crops. My next door neighbor decided to get back in to farming this year. He told me yesterday that he expect's to lose over $100,000. Bad timing. Only 180 miles south they are getting too much rain.

Hey folks
Another smoky, hot, sunny day here on the farm. My son is a firefighter so I'm hoping they get these forest fires under control pretty soon. Over 40% of one town was lost last week.
Well Dawn I live in northern Canada where -40 temperatures is normal in the winter. So if you want to trade places for January and February I could handle that. LOL
Judy sorry to hear about the pneumonia but great to hear that you are getting better and soon be off the "O".
Annette you really have your plate full girl ! Doesn't sound like a great rehab facility so I'm sure you will get a few complaints about that as well. Nice to know that duct tape is a multi-purpose item. LOL
Bud you posted the same time so I had to edit. LOL that is great going on the charity ride. Doing what you love and for a good cause.
Congratulations Sara on throwing the first pitch. You must be very excited ! I think that i would be so nervous I would probably turn the wrong way and throw the ball to second base. LOL
-
Another hot, sunny day on the farm. Judy MI, we could really use some of your rain here. The 7 day forecast has only a 10% chance of precipitation on 1 day. Not good for crops. Really smoky here today as well from all the forest fires so I'm trying to stay inside as much as possible.
Annette, Eric, calves are doing great but still waiting on 2 more cow's to calve. They are in no hurry. Beginning to wonder if they are bred even though they show all the signs. A neighbor that I gave 5 Llama's to last fall just had his first baby llama yesterday. His kids are pretty excited.

Hey folks
Another sunny day here in northern Canada. Could really use some rain for the forest fires and the crops.
Good luck with your appointment Judy.
Eric I don't see you getting bored in retirement. LOL
Bud you are such an active person I can understand you getting bored on a stationary bike.
It was a long weekend here in Canada Annette and I already had commitments made which is why I couldn't go to D.C. The May long weekend is like the unofficial beginning of summer here. Most people go fishing, camping, etc.
