Yeah, we like to do an assortment. Not too many melons though, they don't seem to grow that great up here. We can in the fall so mostly stuff to make tomato base and chili.What is on the list of plants , corn , potatoes, watermelon, squash, peppers, onions , maters ?????
Thought we might have finally been warmer than somewhere else in the nation but just checked and it's only 30ºF, at least it's not snowing.So far I've showed up to work to open pools. It's 34f and snowing. I'm the only one here. Think I might go to the thrift shop and look for work pants. And bonsai containers.
Haha, maybe after a month of working off my winter hibernation weight lol.Thought we might have finally been warmer than somewhere else in the nation but just checked and it's only 30ºF, at least it's not snowing.
Btw, I've always pictured you working in just shorts. No homo.
Few things are worse than strutting around in soggy boots. Waterboarding maybe.I went to the local rock show. It was $6.50 a beer. Garbage. I did preparty a bit, but that is just too much. I got real drunk and enjoyed the music. The kicker was I was walking back and tried to ford a little river. Well, I shit the bed, fell right into that river. It turned out to be several feet deep. My boots sure squelched on the way home. Mothafucka.
Back in 86' I worked for a pool co. for about 6 months , in February I was epoxying an olimpic sized pool and adding a rope and fiber glass steps . I was cold as fuck , but after the acid wash and the white epoxy it was so bright that it felt like 100 fucking% I was in my underwear , the inside of my nose got blisters and my nuts too . I learned that it's best to keep your clothes on . But it paid well.So far I've showed up to work to open pools. It's 34f and snowing. I'm the only one here.

I never want to picture that again. Thanks, now I'll certainly have nightmares.Back in 86' I worked for a pool co. for about 6 months , in February I was epoxying an olimpic sized pool and adding a rope and fiber glass steps .

I ordered a dumpster when I remodeled the house and added on my family room ......it's nice having one to get rid of extra shit sitting around ........funny story with mine was ,,,I got it most of the way full and literally woke up at 3am to a loud banging noise ......so I got fully naked incase shit got crazy and I had to fight (((more aerodynamic))) went out to see wtf was going on .......there was two guys going through my dumpster and one of them was pissed at the other because he used his bike to get in the dumpster but then couldn't get back out ...lol....so he was banging on the side trying to get his friends attention to get him out .....long story short I was out watching quite amused tbh,,,,,and since I live in the country and was outside for a while ,,,,my wife called the sheriff thinking it was a bad situation .....so then the sheriff shows up and begins being a total asshole to these guys .....I ended up having to get a ladder out of my shed to help the old dude out of my dumpster ......I told them to come back during the day and they could look through it all they want .....but it was pretty comical watching these two old scrappers trying to rescue each other.........the cop acted like a total dick .....even asked me what I was doing out there thinking I was with them .......I politely told him it was my property and he could suck a massive penis because I have no problem with what they're doing .....besides the noise .......they actually came back the next day to .........there were a few old flat screen TV's in it and they planned on packing them full of rice to try to get them to work again ......i paid for a 30 foot dumpster but a 20 footer showed up today. oh well. started watching the masters, got hooked, and didn't get to work until 5:30. got done in 2 hours what i had planned would take me a full day, so looks like this job is gonna go really quick. a lot quicker than planned.
My apologies I'll go stand in the corner nowI never want to picture that again. Thanks, now I'll certainly have nightmares.

Weathers getting nice again so I'll be doing more.
Hopefully. I did promise the wife and kid more time together this summer. Farm has been taking a lot of my time the last few years.Like building a cabin for us to watch?
Do u employ guys to help you out? Seems you'd have more family time if you delegated some of the easier, more mundane stuff.Hopefully. I did promise the wife and kid more time together this summer. Farm has been taking a lot of my time the last few years.
Nah, wouldn't be cost effective. I have a lot of free time, it's just that I get wrapped up in projects and before I know it summer's over. I don't really have anything planned this year yet. Couple things that need to be done but hours long projects, not days or weeks.Do u employ guys to help you out? Seems you'd have more family time if you delegated some of the easier, more mundane stuff.
The farm is home, ergo you are mostly at home. Don't let those women confuzzle youHopefully. I did promise the wife and kid more time together this summer. Farm has been taking a lot of my time the last few years.

ur a good story teller....i almost always wind up reading the whole story...unusual for me as i have a very short attenI stopped at quick stop to grab some coffee and some smokes this morning .....as I'm walking out a lady asked me for a cigarette ....I could tell she was obviously on hard times so I gave her my pack that had about 3 left .....it's cold and rainy so I asked if she wanted a coffee .....first she asked for the money instead ....I told her I couldn't do that but I would buy her a coffee and a donut if she was hungry ......she said yes ....so we go back in and she makes her coffee as I'm talking to the clerk who I know real well ........so then the lady asks if she could pick something off the hostess rack .....I said sure go ahead..........took her literally 20 fucking minutes to decide what she wanted ........I think she was punishing me for not giving up the cash ..lol.
My great grandpa taught me the best response for pushy panhandlers asking for money ..
