Happy Wednesday. Not sure if I like this color. Something different.
Yesterday, if someone told me I was "full of horse s**t" I would have agreed! I went to the county fairgrounds and shoveled a load of horse manure into my pick-up bed. True, I was full of H.S. I threw it out in a big pile in the garden. It's still smoking hot which is good. I should have done it earlier to allow time for it to "cure". I'll spread it out later. All free!
You know how people have heart attacks shoveling snow? I thought about that. "There lies Randy Smith.." You can fill in the rest of the sentence!
The grounds on which my garden lies used to be the site of a big barn. It's been a labor of love transforming it into a nice garden bed over the past 35 years. Worth every minute of work.
I also went to the soil conservation district to re-apply for a CRP grant permitting me to maintain 3.3 acres of prairie grass on my farm for the next 10 years. What a hassle it was. Now that the farm is in my name, not my Dad's, I have to prove it's legally mine. They can't just take my word for it. Brother.
$42.12 down the drain. My vinyl records were skipping, so I figured I needed a new needle. Ordered one off the internet, replaced it, still skips. Grrr. It's a very old stereo (w/8 track!). Time to buy a new one. Any ideas? Store or internet shopping? Brand?
Later. RS
