Just picked nine dozen ears of corn, that’s some kind of record. We are in third gear here with production. That’s good being this is Labor Day Weekend. Should be able to sell everything I put out there. And the quality is supreme. This is it, we are peaking.
Remember yesterday we were talking about Wiley and Hanna and the new dog. So check this out, an old family friend sold them a runabout and a trailer for $11. The boat was $10 and the trailer $1. Hanna’s father Jim is got them all running around cleaning out old gas, filling up with new gas, finding life jackets, washing and scrubbing. They want to take it out for a spin today, wasting no time on these four day weekends, squeezing the most out of it.
I’m going to run over and see what time the launch is going to be. Can check the corn in the stand and see how the supply is holding up. Man, action central around here, no time for naps. OK, talk to you in a moment.
OK, the sailors are out to sea and they don’t seem to be answering their ship to shore phones. Well their was just a FB post with them frolicking so must be good. Having too much fun to answer their phones. So glad Jim the mechanic is with them.
Well, the character of this post seems to be all four day weekend. Might as well go with it. My Rebecca and I off to dinner with friends, probably BBQ. Then tomorrow have Mass with Catherine then off to visit one of my old hunting buddies in hospice. I’ll have to prepare for that one.
OK, time to prep for the dinner party, have to be in the right frame of mind. OK, if I know you I miss you and if I don’t know you I still miss you. Same same, love, Phil.
Well then! Here we are stuck indoors and it’s 105F with unhealthy smokey air outside for miles around us.
But YOU–
Part of MY hair blew off just reading about the high speed fun and progress! If my math is right, that’s more than 100 ears of corn! Perfect for this weekend especially– peaking for the big game. My first memory of being in a runabout was a plywood one like that one. It was made by a Seattle boat company and the runabout model was called a Sea King. We had it on Lake Chelan about 1000 years ago, powered by two 15 hp Johnson engines. People waterskied behind it!
Nice post to be with tonight.
Carry your immediate joy to visit tomorrow, buddy. That’s more than enough.
Steve-O ~ its like Christmas around here. Harvest time in all sorts of ways. I haven’t talked to the sailors yet. Really curious how things went. I think that boat was made by Mansfield in 57 and the outboard is 45 horse, same age. Apparently never run in salt water.
Yea, the corn is going nuts. So great. Did find anything on the corn grinder?
