Call me impatient boys, but I rearranged my shed yesterday and placed the tractor and planter directly in front of the door. With any luck, I'll get some seed placed in the ground within the next couple of weeks. Now I can only imagine what most of you must be thinking at this moment and believe me, I too would be thinking those exact same thoughts. However, before I get crucified by a few select few of you, allow me to finish. Over the winter months I've updated the electronics on the planter and also some updates to GPS equipment on the tractor, it all communicates together now & functions as one unit. My dealer would like to get it in the field and make a few test runs to get it all fine tuned. What better place to rid myself of a few leftover bags of cheap sorghum seed.
As far as my plans, today is the last day of my extended monthly weekend off from the off the farm job. Yes that's correct, I only get 1 weekend a month away from my job, so I cannot let them go to waste. I'm going to super tune my lawn mowers and get them ready for the upcoming season. Kids are home from school thanks to spring break, & my youngest is always looking for a way to get dirty. What better way then to let him perform his first ever oil change. I'm sure it will create quit a slick, so I've stocked up on a few extra bags of kitty liter, just the price we have to pay for training our relief. If time allows, maybe a reward of an ATV trail ride along the River, he's been hell bent to find a few antler sheds. As the old saying goes, all work and no play makes Shaggy a dull boy.
