Lots of Little Stuff to Report
Classes are off and running. I have twenty-nine students on roll in the university life section I teach. We have met class twice, and they appear to be a serious group. Since most are pre-nursing majors, they will need to be very serious students in order to make the cut and get into the program later. I am enjoying getting to know them.
Had one helluva day last Saturday at the Lebanon community farm. Was mowing the big hayfield and had sectioned off a larger portion of it that I felt I could manage in one day's cutting. About 80% through, Saturday afternoon, the bush hog stopped cutting. I found a sheared bolt underneath the gearbox on the mower, so headed ten miles to town for another one. Since I was on the tractor (trailer I have ordered was not yet finished), had to drive at 20 mph all the way back. One 88 cent bolt cost me the rest of the afternoon. I was frustrated but realized this is the farmer's plight.
Cut grass in the yard at Lebanon house over the weekend as well as the grass at Mom's. In other words spent six hours or more on the Huskies. Plus about 8 on the John Deere in the hayfield and running up and down the highway.
Finally saw Marion Medical and Gwen (PA) Monday for "lower digestive tract" problem I had had sporadically since Sturgis return trip. Put me on Flagyl, an antibiotic which I hate. Leaves terrible after taste that stays with you. But it does kill bacteria--it's what they give me for diverticulitis flare-ups...Yuk!
More later. Be careful out there.....pd
