Got out from behind the desk at lunch today and and baled 250 bales in 45 minutes. Dropped them on the ground and will pick them up tonight with the stack loader. Hay had been on the ground for 11 days, rained on twice, and still made bales good enough for the horse ladies. Everyone wanted to know why I came back to work smiling!

While seat time would have been nice, I spent my lunch in a slightly different manner. As I am working out of the house this week and both boys are home from school, we went bullfrog hunting over lunch. Naw, we didn't eat them, just caught em, looked at em then let em go. Nothing more exciting for a five year old than catching an 8 inch bull frog.

Frog hunting in the daytime??? Spent many an hour while a teenager gigging bullfrogs..... .headlight and fish gig on a GOOD cane pole; helped to have someone else to spot and "hold" them, i.e. "freeze" them in the light. My mother fried 'em up for breakfast. Very few left now, around here, and no, wasn't 'cause I caught 'em all. Either the farm chemicals got them, or more likely the great blue herons and other birds which we didn't have back then. One more thing, carrying a girl frog gigging was a cheap date..... ..

I feel some blackmail coming on ;>)

Jerry, I know your manager, and this note might be able to find its way to his attention unless - let's see what I can think of - maybe I can talk you into some seat time in front of a baler or something. I find myself missing my tractor time more and more these days with everything I have going on - I could stand a sanity break.

It runs but, like everything else (including wife), it is waiting for me to finally finish school before I can get a-round-to-it. Come this December 6th I go from being overwhelmed with school and the job to being overwhelmed with everything I put on hold while I went back to school - but it will be worth it if I can survive this summer and the fall semester.

Need seat time bad just for my sanity - but 2 more weeks and the senior design project will be done then I can piddle for a month or so. Call me after the 4th and I will see what I can do.
