An old farmer once told me "A dry year will scare ya, but a wet year 
will kill ya!"

I have been nursemaiding my 87 year old father after his Knee 
replacement on March 9, after 5 weeks of pain at home, we found out he 
had a blood clot in the knee all that time.  2 surgeries with a vascular 
surgeon were no help.  The knee joint was saved, but the leg amputated 
below the knee.  Had to go into surgery to remove dead/infected tissue 
on Wednesday of this week.  He is getting unreasonable about staying in 
the hospital for the antibiotics.  Thinks he has to be at home, so I 
have to move him around with my bulged discs in my back....

Spent so much time with him that I am just getting my swather and baler 
ready to go.  The white 2-105 had air cond compressor problems today, 
and the 7030 allis needs all the gaskets in the cab windows to keep them 
in place.  Bought 200 ft of window gasket for $125 on internet.  The 
dealers here wanted $5 to $8 a foot for it....

Big storm passing thru right now...  I need to get the weeds sprayed on 
the bermuda field as the thistles are 2 ft tall...  Haven't had 2 days 
straight with no wind or no rain...
