This past week has been awesome.
Let me explain...no, there is to much, let me sum up. Sam is out of the Farms. Bailey is in at ISU, Jessie is coming back to the Iowa region, coaching gear has to be turned in on Sunday, and best of all; Paul starts working his contract at 8 AM Saturday!
Three of my remaining bastions of sanity at the farms and I had a celebration of paychecks starting to come into my fairly well depleted bank account.
DG bought me a bottle of Port and a cigar (same kind that U.G. got me for Christmas), and CK bought me a 12 pack of beer, and a pouch of hand rolled cigars. JO gave me a hand forged damascus style knife that he and SC made in the blacksmith shop last year. ... Needless to say: It has been a great night.
The last three days I have spent all day fishing the ponds at the Farms. Over these days I have got 13 keepers and an additional 8 throw backs. Also a snapping turtle.
I sent a picture message on my phone to a couple of people of the first two keepers I caught with the message, "Got Dinner" Dad responded with good job, my coaching boss replied with, "Assh-le, I'm stuck inside all day." A girl that I've been dating replied with how jealous she was that I was fishing without her.
In any event, I start my 40 hours per week in a few hours and I'm very excited. Oats are already coming up, no winter wheat, and the soil is too cold to put corn in. '50 doesn't have any lambs, but hundred has 8, or 9.
That's all I've got.

Why are people giving you all that stuff? Did you tell them it was your birthday? I'm so glad you are excited about starting work (or more precisely, getting a paycheck) and that things are going well. Hope the first day back on the job goes well!
ReplyDeleteNo, three of us finally got hours and some green. I shouldn't say that these were gifts as everything got shared, but all in all, it was a fun night
ReplyDeleteI have to write down the cigars you like, because I wanted to buy some for the last box I sent, but didn't know what you like. Tell us all, then we'll know. Many people might send you cigars. Wouldn't that be fun?
