As some of you know from previous blog posts here, I am battling an illness called "Valley Fever".  I have had it since 2006 and it has been a real pain.  I have just had another lump taken out of my arm, just below the last one.  They are leaving the wound open, as they did with the last one, to let it heal from the inside out.  So I have a big ball of gauze shoved into the spot in my arm where they cut the lump out.  Luckily my wife is not squeamish, because the gauze has to be pulled out and repacked daily. . .pretty disgusting!

You know you think my tractors are sexy!

I was driving around yesterday and thought I would share some of what is going here right now. . . and this is the time we consider to be slow!

Probably none of you want to hear about my medical issues, but I need a place to get some of this out and this is going to be it.

I thought I would show you all what my new (part time) office looks like.  In a couple of months I will be in this thing for 12-14 hours a day.  This is a brand new John Deere 4720 sprayer with a 90' boom.  It will have a gps guidance system that will drive it in a straight line with no help from me.  You take your hands off the wheel and it does the rest.  This thing will cover several hundred acres per day.  Probably not so interesting for the rest of you, but this is "cool stuff" for us farmers.  Sort of has a mech/transformer vibe to it?
