Not afraid to take the path of maximum resistance. Too loud. Habitually overdressed.

Last year some people were wary of the idea of showing up at a bar and doing a sudden sing-along. Those doubters were WRONG. The entire bar joined in and people were crying.

They are climbing up to the top, but my fear of heights set in on the first landing.

What this vegetarian married into. It's a family farm, but really an industrial operation run by a family of 5th generation farmers.

Jim says, "A guy has to have a leap of faith to do the fence line."
The view from the cab of a combine harvester on the edge of a field. A metal fence is just to the left.

Apparently Blake brought the wrong bolt.

The ride along did not increase Elliot's interest in a career as a farmer. Now we are waiting. For a semi, I think. For all the walkie talkies and satellites, I would think this would be more efficient.

A combine harvester is a bit like a serger sewing machine. It cuts the corn stalks, then smushes the dry corn off the cob, and then puts the corn in a hopper.

My youngest is getting to ride along for a bit.
A red combine harvester in a field of corn. There is a lot of dust.

Blake is back with a replacement bolt.

Apparently there is a shared bolt in the auger.

Men fixing things. There is a lot of cursing.
Men laying under a combine harvester. Something is wrong. They are arguing.

Thoma Trucking. These trucks take the corn to the siloes. There are a lot of them. This is why Bill has had a CDL since he was 18. It is super hot when he talks farming.
The cab of a semi. It is red and says in silver letters "Thoma Trucking."

As a change of subject, today I will love skeet the Iowa corn harvest. Currently we are looking for my 84 yo FIL who is out in a combined harvester.

Not to be a pedant, but that is a parlay.

A duvet is a person who stubbornly refuses to change their course of action or opinion.

Not to be a pedant, but that’s a Matinee.

A duvet is when one wagers the winnings plus the initial stake of one bet on a subsequent wager, or engages in a series of such increased wagers.

Hate to contradict you my love, but that's a pince nez

I had mine Tuesday and was just tired yesterday. No fever or other symptoms. I just took a hard nap and went to bed early.
