Germs are No Fun!
I’m still fighting the ever lovin’ cold, but today is much better than yesterday. I’m still medicated with the OTC cold and sinus medications, but I am at least able to go to work today.

Tillage in the Patoka Bottoms
I love to chisel plow, it is without a doubt my favorite thing to do on this earth. I’ve started helping Ron whenever I can now, after school, and on weekends. All I’ve done so far was pull his disk, which I like but not as much as the chisel plow. I finished disking on…

Long Weekend
I feel like my weekends are way too long and way too short all at the same time anymore. I’m always running around doing things, which takes forever. It makes my weekends go by so fast, that I feel like I didn’t get a weekend at all. But, I guess that will just have to be ok, because I…
