    RW its good ya'll are dry. I've hauled all I can til the Cache goes down. The bosses are flying rice seed in the water. Getting desperate. They were hooking up discs and Kelly tools today when I got back with my last load. Actually I've got 1 more loaded but the computer's out and that truck won't crank/run. I guess I'll haul it when fixed or towed in.

    Yeah Big John,i'm a member too,and they have always been nice and helpful with any questions i've had. I meant you would get lots of offers from everyone else. I had folks offering boc-3 for $89/year down to $29,and a million offers to factor,not to mention all the insurance companies,your right though,i felt kinda like a tasty worm that a bunch of starving crows were fighting over:biggrin_25526:.

    You keep heading east with them trips,and i'll have to make good on that dinner offer for sure:biggrin_25525:,glad your staying busy. Give me a shout if you have some spare down time when your in this neck of the woods. I'm helping dad and son with planting this week,but i have a mill thats been wanting me to run to Decatur for corn gluten pellets. You ever get in there?

    I'll do that, but it doesnt seem like I get east of I-65. I've been to Decatur on occassion but I try to avoid it. Long lines whenever I've been over there. If you go up there give me a shout in case i've got time to make it over there to say hi.

    Dairyman the Cache and Black haven't went down enough yet to tell about most of the farmground scouring,etc.. They finally opened up 67 to Pocahontas yesterday. I saw several van yankers doing U turns on 63 yesterday after it opened. I haven't heard how bad east Pokys Walmart and stuff were. WalMart and the college had 4-5 feet of water in them for 5-6 days. That's gotta be a mess. The college called their semester done and they're gonna try to get ready for fall. Most all the houses in east Poky were flooded too for several days. Several roads like 304 were scoured and washed out. These are strange times in a lot of ways and strange weather.

    WH, you get any rain today? Looking at the weather report this morning it looked like it was north and south of Hutch. I can't believe it was in the 50's today and suppose to be that way this weekend. I went to Texas today and had to put my jacket on when I got out of the truck, but the wind was blowing pretty good to.

    Just spent my day shutting down bank accounts and credit cards. My wife's car got broken into, and the SOB's got her check book and credit cards. Worst part of all, they decided they needed to break two windows to do it, costing ol' Highside $540 to get them replaced. I hope they enjoyed the $20 in McDonalds food that they managed to get bought before the card was shut off.

    Why can't people be decent? It's not hard.

    Kids raised without morals are now raising kids without morals. When I was a kid, if I got my ### whipped at school, I got my ### whipped again when I got home. Now if a kid gets in trouble at school, his family sues the school.

    True, there have always been thieves. But it seems that there are often no consequences for bad behavior any more. I've got a neighbor walking around with 8 or 10 felony convictions. He's now raising kids with guess what...their own felony convictions. Duh.

    It seems as if the only people that can't figure out how that works are the judges and the social workers.

    I expect it to only get worse with each generation.
