Does a baseball cap, t-shirt, and a pair of jeans count as rain gear? If it does then yes I did.

It didn't start raining until I was on the back yard. I got both sides and the front done before it started raining, but we only had the seeder for a half day so I had to get it done right then.

And Mark I need to go buy an ice scraper and get some of the wiper fluid that's supposed to work to melt ice, etc cause we'll be getting frost here pretty soon. Getting condensation on the windows every morning now so it's only a matter of time before it freezes.

And speaking of sick: Go see a doctor, Lisa.

I call BS on this whole "apple a day" thing. I definitely eat the most apples when I'm working on the orchard in fall yet it never fails that I get sick at least once every fall. And outside of fall I'm rarely ever sick. Allergies yes, but sick no.

Probably doesn't help that I'm dealing with the general public sniffling and sneezing around me all day in fall though.

The apple a day thing is BS..for the most part. People who are healthy, and eat vegetables and fruit and plenty of protein have better immune systems, and get sick less, so that may be the relation.

Speaking of immune systems, that is where the Vitamin C and Zinc come in.

Btw...

I'M GOING TO GO TO THE DOCTOR.

geezz.

I gotta like, you know, make an appointment and stuff. That and I have a new job with new insurance so I gotta figure out 1) where I can go and 2) what my copay will be and all that. Whatever I have it is not life threatening.

Not necessarily. Some of the smaller stuff will use backhoe controls instead of excavator controls. That is, left hand controls boom rather than right.
ummm once again you astound me with your knowledge, I have yet to see that. Good info!

I cant help what everyone thinks they know about me, and only a few on here know the real me...
