===================================



	I was sitting in my lazyboy with my laptop in my lap doing a little 
writing. One of the  storm windows started rattling as it sometimes does 
in the wind. A few seconds later the rest of them (a 20' row of windows) 
began rattling badly and they don't usually do that even in the wind. 
Then my chair began jiggling. I went to the patio door and opened it and 
was a little surprised that the wind was dead calm. The dog and cats 
seemed completely unconcerned so I went back to my keyboard... The house 
has creaked a few times today while I was inside. I suppose it was light 
after-shocks. They said to expect some.
	A couple of more tons of iron left the farm permanently today and a 
couple of more tons will leave in a week or two.
	It may soon get a lot lighter... I am still trying to decide on getting 
rid of some of my bigger equipment that I don't really need now that I 
have retired. I want to keep the smaller stuff that will work well with 
my 50 to 55 HP tractors and smaller but I am still debating with myself 
on the stuff like my 4020 and the 16' IHC disk, the Glenco chisel plow 
and the Deere 24' field cultivator. Of course I want to keep all of my 
hay equipment but should get rid of my Gleaner F combine.
	I need to pick up a manure spreader this spring.


	We have been back in family funeral mode again this week. Son Scott's 
mother-in-law died of cancer last weekend and the funeral was yesterday. 
Scott thought a lot of her and her husband is a great guy. I worked with 
him on Scott's house addition.

	I just went out a bit ago and yelled at a batch of coyotes... It 
sounded like about 5 or 6 of them about 40 yards outside of the back 
door going into full chorus. We couldn't even hear the TV...  :-)
Now they were making the dogs nervous.
