Spent the morning milling and stacking 24" wide, 2" thick cedar slabs. Love the smell of cedar, what do you use the slabs for?

Frogsnacks. I am exhausted today.
Didn't do a hell of a lot...got the cows moved, worked on camper, moved a tractor, did chores...ect.
This fugging eyeball......I have a deal where the lashes on my right eye grow the wrong way into my eye.
They either lay on the eye or they poke right into it.
The wife yanks em out with a tweezer when she is here or we are not so busy. We were busy and she is off doing stuff.
Pitiful day. Wore me out. You guys with chronic pain must be wore out all the time.
Here's a go. better slow down Mr Jim only gets worse after 45

Barry, worst part is we caught some lucky thunderstorms in mid-July and got our hopes up but the plague of hoppers chewed that dream all to hell.
Worst grasshoppers I have ever seen. Unreal scene out in the country with windbreaks and road ditches being stripped clean with fields turning now. Hahaha! Year 3 for us.

Hang tough, Big Jim! I know what sucky days and pain are like, but I have never had to raise a family while doing it! That is way tougher than my toughest day!

I'll be glad when this party's over! Year three for bad hoppers, year four for bad drought for us. This year is a terrible wreck. The drought it really spotty. We have no hay, but some guys in the county have double the hay of last year. Was talking to a friend who ranches south of me 20 miles. I felt kind of guilty talking about the 3 inches of precip we have received since the first of the year. Not wanting to sound like I was bragging! He said they were sitting at about 11 inches! Apparently we are due some relief this fall Barry. El Nino or Nina or some such nonsense is going to change into the better one for us out west.

Got up about 6:30. Drank coffee on the deck until after 8. Went to the club and shot three rounds of clays with a bunch of other old guys. On the way home, hit the liquor store for rum, the feed store for bird food, and the grocery for this and that. Got home and had home-grown spaghetti squash with homemade tomato sauce with deer sausage. Took a walk around the yard. Took a nap.
Drinking coffee again…..
Toughest job I’ve ever had.
What fresh Hell is this?

For me, its caused by a hereditary deal where I have two rows of eyelashes. Always wondered if you were part shark. Makes sense now....

El Nino brings the rain and snowpack. Our drought is much more widespread here. Usually east of here gets enough rain that you can buy hay if you need to. Some pretty big hay operations over that way... But this year, they got no love either. Not much hay to be had. One of my bud's is in the hay business. He's making a little where we had spotty rain, but it's gonna cost close to $100 per bale. Damn. Hay. Feed bill. No end in sight. Ain't it fun?

Grains are in the chitter but cattle are climbing!
Barry, how much is decent grass/alf hay per ton down your way?
Depending on quality it's roughly +/- $150/ton around here plus freight. $200 for really good stuff.
We try to grow most of our own hay and I'm guessing the hoppers took +200 ton, which for us is a lot. Looking back we should have hired out our dry land haying, by the time we got there the hoppers raised hell.

It was a pretty good day in the oilfield. I got a title opinion sent off for final review and signed up a rig for thanksgiving. Came home and threw footballs to the kids. The wife made teriyaki chicken, which was ok, but at least she cooked. Cheers everyone.
