I'm jealous. When I got up for work at 3:30 it was a tad chilly that changed shortly after the sun came up.

Just about 6pm here & my phone says 95°, the girls slipped into the corn to go check out the timbers.

4/10's yesterday &1/2" today,that looks like some of our early planted corn,it seems like this hot weather makes this corn jump an inch or more every day,but the late corn will take a while to catch up.Been seein' hit road coons but no kittens yet on the road.That storm that went threw had a bunch of wind some corn was bent over.

Hay here goes for whatever they can get u to pay for it I think most my friends pay between $3.50 - $4.00 a bale for grass hay. One friend said her hay guy called her about a month ago wanting to sell 500 bales of last yrs hay to make room for this yrs. She pd $3.75 last yr and he wanted $3.50/bale for what he had left over. Then he told her he might raise his price to $4 for this yrs hay.
Gave Jas a bath today, the plan is to ride at a dice run on Saturday. Normally I would leave tomorrow and camp 2 nights, but might go fishing tomorrow and have to go to a graduation party on Sunday.

That ain't a bad price,a few years back really good alfalfa hay was bringin' as high as $11.00 a bale,I never bought any,back when I used to have hay the best I ever got was $2.00. Well I reckon the P.C. crap has hit Wriggly field,today is the start of no tobacco for players or fans,but I'll bet if your a homo you can hold hands & kiss

Where's the pull in PA?
There are quite a few farmers in this area so that probably helps to keep hay prices down.
We spent 7 hrs in the boat today. 4 of us caught over 120 fish.
We buy cigars in NY at reservation smoke shops. 2 cartons for $10. I only smoke the if the bugs are bad..
Hope everyone has a good wkend. Going riding tomorrow and to great neices graduation party on Sunday.

Working in the asphalt patching can get hot fast in this weather.

Rode for 5 hrs today at the dice run. No one in our group won anything : ( . But we had a good meal: 1/2 a bbq chicken, macaroni salad, baked beans, watermelon, ice cream, water and pop.
Talked to a few people about hay today, they're paying $3_$4/bale. We use to sell hay for 50 cents a bale. Then when we moved here, we bought it for that. After a couple of yrs, the price went to $1.40/bale and Chuck said we'll make r own. Had to get all the equipment, but most was used from friends and family so we didn't have much $ invested...until we had to replace some of it.
My friend lives in Washington Co. Not sure if she goes to the pulls there, we've went up here together.
