    BREAKING NEWS: Terror Alert in Chicago ,IL



    The Chicago Bears football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field. Lovie Smith immediately suspended practice and called the police and federal investigators. After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white substance unknown to players was the goal line.

    LOL, that's pretty good, rag.

    You know how to keep a bear out of your yard? You put up a goalpost.

    Every place around here was full of wet corn by 3 today. Could be noon tomorrow. On the bright side, I passed a Level 2 DOT inspection today with flying colors. Didn't have the scales with him, but showed him my 2 previous tickets, and they were good.

    It pays to be lucky once in a while.

    Power Service sells a product called Bio Kleen® Diesel Fuel Biocide. http://www.powerservice.com/bk/

    I think there are dozens of other brands, just make sure it specifically states it kills off the bio stuff. LOL heck maybe you could just squirt a tube of anti foot fungal stuff in there and call it good?

    Harvested milo last two days. Have 50 acres to do then finished. Profit wise not the best by far but could be worse. The good thing put very few miles on during harvest...sure helps on fuel.

    Hope the loads keep coming and don't die out like last year. January and Feb. are the months I worry about.

    Well WH, maybe you can come over to IL and sit in line with us for a while. I actually had a decent day, the guy I was hauling for had corn that qualified for a non-GMO premium, and found a place 55 miles away that would take it, so I got 4 loads of it. The old man however got stuck in some lines, managed a big 3 loads hauling it 16 miles, and one of those was the preload from the night before. Heard a report today that IL's corn is 72% complete, I'd say that's about what our area is, still a lot left in places.

    Finished harvest. Called the dispatcher to see what was going. He said it was dead...not a big surprise. Seems to get slow after harvest and being December it will probably get slower.

    Good luck everybody on harvest, hope you're done by xmas.
