The new and improved Good Morning thread!

Good morning everyone. Biggest thing on my agenda today is hooking up and making sure the electronics work right on the planter. Recalibrating if necessary. Need to enter farms, fields, and populations. Maybe get started Wednesday, depending on weather. Calves are still coming. I have one pair in the barn because the calf is just dumb, can't figure out how to suck on his own. 3 times a day I put the cow in the chute, drag the calf over to it and put a teet in his mouth. The calf fights it until he realizes that he's getting fed. Just stupid.

Hahahaha. Is that the stereotypical Auburn fan talking?

I am not sure that Auburn as anything to do with it but I can't discount that theory either. I was mostly the stereotypical nerd ... constantly reading, could do molar chemistry and calculus in my head but didn't have the common sense that God gave a doorknob. Then I finally got laid, had a beer and smoked a joint and never recovered.

I'm not smart enough to do calculus in my head, probably cant do it on paper or with a computer either, and never smoked a joint. I do get the avid reader part, beer and laid part though. 👍 And incase the Auburn thing didn't go over right, it was just good natured ribbing.

IMHO my math aptitude was nothing but practice. I could not stand watching television so I spent my time reading papers, encyclopedias, and textbooks if necessary. One of my brothers was three grades ahead of me so in the seventh grade I finished his algebra textbook. Once I quit using it I lost it quickly.

It went over just as you intended, I got a chuckle. The first thought that crossed my mine was something like "an Auburn fan should have had his own cow, leave mine alone". ;) Please never worry about cracking jokes on me, I love it and will always find some humor in it. I really encourage people around me to pile it on.

Glad to hear it. You probably wonder why I read and respond during the middle of the morning most everyday when I have so many things to do, that's because I'm waiting on another load of feed to mix and have nothing to do for 10 minutes but make sure the slip clutch dosen't shred itself. This board makes the time go fast.

There is nothing better than something that helps dead time pass faster. My best and shortest workdays were the ones that I was constantly busy but not killing myself. BTW, if you see me laying in your barn this evening just remember that when the calf is done, I am next in line ...
