    Between the cold snaps and rain they are projecting about a 35% loss between Central WA & Hood River OR. On par with the last 3 years of weather unfortunately. Cold snaps + record highs. It will be a shorter season for sure.

    The biggest problem will be the eventual heat with this rain. 85°f+ after a rain = cherry explosion.

    Some idiot came blazing around the corner at the shipper only to find that we are backed up that far. Had to darn near lock up his brakes.

    Two lines form. He has a space ahead of him at the speaker. Moron went into the sleeper. I hope the guys behind him climb inside his rearend.

    I'm back! Yesterday morning we had to call for the Hampton FD to send an ambulance to pick me up. Some fantastic neighbors closed ranks around Keri and took really good care of her until about 5 PM when I was finally released. I do think as I sit and wright this I am on the downside of this #### bug.

    Upon reading up on nonsense while waiting for my 10 to complete... a few more minutes then i can drive 5 miles to reload headed to memphis, which I’m not even going to try to get it off today, last week was a try and the place made it worthless, and still didn’t get empty til noon the next day, so. I’m dragging this one 32 miles out of way to go home tonight then head to memphis tomorrow morning.

    Here’s what i read for you big rice eaters.

    Brown rice contains arsenic
    Long-term consumption of arsenic may increase your risk of chronic diseases including cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. However, this should not be a concern if you eat rice in moderation as part of a varied diet. A few servings per week should be fine.

    I don’t remember seeing that on the package.... if it is it must be in small print.

    Today must be thundertain day. :rolleyes:

    I ran straight through the heart of one crossing the Bay Bridge earlier, and now I’m parked waiting for another to blow over while watching hail stones bounce off my hood.
