    Well, it is over. 5 or 6 radiation treatments to try to show things down but even my lead oncologist was shocked when he saw how things had spread over the previous 3 weeks since surgery. No more farming. No mor Z06 rides as it looks like lasting until spring is possible. Just have to get mr...

    Good morning my dear friends. Home for six days now, only fallen three times and no injuries. Wow I had to take breaks when reading the thread postings I've missed, the tears were just endless. So what can I tell you? Go for 3 days and end up spending 39 I think. No shower during that time...

    I think there are few things that can compare to being don with the harvest. Knowing that you'll have food on the table for the next year etc. Now to focus on my son and my health. Great when one major stress factor is gone! The z06 stays with me here too in the garage. I like to go and...

    Got a different prescription. Higher rate, lower interval. Freaked out when it came with a Naxalone kit and a warning that if I take a pill too early it could kill me. Going to just have to be ultra careful. GF will have to walk me through step by step. But I've been resting all day...

    Finished up last night! Very exhausted. Got up on time, cleaned up, had breakfast, wrapped arm and back to bed to suspend it! Up again, goin to try to go for exercise now, close to out of pain pills. So tired so thanks for carrying me this fall, along with GS, Jesse, mom. More when I have...

    Good morning, Final two fields. It is testing 8.9% now but will be close, showers called for Friday night. Picking up swaths much harder than straight cutting for some reason. Still optimistic! Cheers, Garry

    Good morning, It was a really hard day yesterday. Maybe worst pain ever or second worst perhaps. I just can't see going on another six weeks or so if it continues to escalate like this. Should be 3/8 done at the farm, maybe 1/4 tonight which would be great. Poor gf really dragged down by...

    I rather doubt seeing such a fine collection could make my day end any better! Just fantastic! Another maybe 50-60 ac done. A few technical issues we had to work through plus Jesse's gf from F S John came to surprise him at 5. So we'll try out luck again tomorrow. Cheers, Garry

    Good morning, Yeah, maybe it will get better. Seed activity needs 20 to 30% moisture so I don't want to go back to that area ever! Oddly in talking with my friend Norm who farms at Donnelly, his moisture content is 22% and he is just crushed as he doesn't see combining or it being dryable for...

    Good evening, So continued to prepare the 8820 combine and added lifters to the header or at least Jesse did. Had to get mom to come and get me and return me home. Squeezed in a few hours of combining. Pain again escalated. Now at the max point, 120 mg/day. Just couldn't function...

    Good morning! The weather does look good for at least the next week. So if the crush is good we surge along. I think I'll have to get mom to come and get me though. The drive home sort of scared me. Bad enough I'm not up to par but worse if I end up hurting someone else. Wow that sound...

    Good evening Eric, Sounds like you've been having a nice time! Yes, the letter from the councillor made a lot of sense and explains why the school only contacted me. Aidan actually texted tonight looking for his volleyball team jersey and would I bring it over. I told him it was in his...

    Good morning, So all the wheat is done! I had some plugged manifolds on part of what I seeded, 2 of 6 manifolds, so for a chunk of the field I was only seeding 67% of it. Even so it yielded 55 bu/ac which for this year I am very happy with. We started Dad's soybeans, very poor but our first...
