Vintage Farm Equipment Show
We enjoyed the Saturday, Sept 16th, event in Atkinson. Mother Nature dished out some rain around 9 a.m., but it didn’t last too long. I gave two Navy presentations, one at 10 a.m. and again at 11 a.m. The first one had good attendance, but only a few at the later one. We always enjoy the show. Congratulations goes to Dave Carton and his volunteers for a very nice event.
No More Heated Days
Boy! That was one hot summer. I think it was said that August was the hottest month recorded in many a moon. Fall kicks in this coming Saturday, the 23rd. I do think there is climate change going on so it will be interesting to see what Mother Nature has in store for us this winter? I don’t think our country is doing too much about climate change. Our politicians seem to have more bones to pick with each other than worry about our planet. Oh, well! At least the air conditioning companies should be doing well.
Long Ago Humor
Where does a T. rex buy clothes? A dino-store. What material do dinosaurs use for the floors of their homes? Rep-tiles. Which dinosaur roamed the wild, wild west and what did he ride? Tyrannosaurus Tex, and he rode a bronco-saurus.
Timber!
A compliment goes to 2 Brothers Tree Care, Geneseo, who recently chopped down 4 trees on the west side of our house. They did a very nice job and the cost I felt was reasonable.
Yikes!
Last week I was at my doctor’s office which should have been a minor visit. That is until they checked my blood pressure. I have never had a problem with high blood pressure, that is until now. If I make it to the pearly gates I am going to ask St. Peter if I could talk to the person who came up with the saying, “The Golden Years?”
Coyotes
Last week a friend sent me an e-mail with a photo taken from his trail camera. Not surprising it showed a coyote. He wondered how he should capture it? I offered to lend him a Have-a-Hart trap, but the biggest it would work on is a raccoon. He said he has one of those traps, too. Coyotes are very smart animals. Of course, a high-powered rifle, scope, camouflage, call, hunting license and permission, if need be, then you just might eliminate one. The last time I set up my trail camera it showed one coyote, a deer, and two raccoons.
Change Colors?
Maybe if the “Fighting Illini” and the “Bears” could trade in their orange and blue jerseys they would win more games. Okay, maybe not!
Spacy Humor
What do you carve on a robot’s tombstone? Rust in peace. How do astronauts hold up their pants? With asteroids belts. What did Neptune say to Saturn? “Give me a ring sometime.” How does the man on the moon trim his hedge? Eclipse it. What did the space alien say to the cat? “Take me to your litter.”
