Granny's gone and done it again

Good enough for cattle.

For roughage only. No real nutrition in it. They can chop it up and mix with grain for filler to keep their digestive system working properly.

In fact, wr see a lot of fields drying up to next to nothing every year that is for feed.

Yes they let it dry down to where the ears are a low moisture then the harvest with a corn combine to where it shells the grain out and spits out the cobs to be returned to the soil. Trucks follow the combines and when full another truck is waiting. The same is done with soybeans and wheat. In fact that is the procedure for all crops where the seed is stored dry. I used to work around the farms in NW MO and had farmer friends and customers who farmed as much as 6000 acres of row crops.

I've been out working in the gardens while it was cool. I've moved the new sprinkler down a notch to where it will run until 2pm. That's 6 hours in that spot and then move it down one more notch to finish that block out. I finished thinning a row of the fall planted pink eye purple hull peas. My good neighbor stopped by on his way to town driving his big rig John Deere with his flail mower. He was on his way to mow something that got to tall to use his push mower on... He will be here when he is done and help me to put the new belt on my JD riding mower. I can't remember what I hit but I broke it in an instant. I need to look for it today and see what I have to do to fix that spot. It was in a spot I don't normally mow.

I'm back.
Had a bit going on recently and was feeling a bit down which is unusual for me.

I'm glad to see you back. I know the feeling when the bits start going on and turn into chunks on my plate.

The science of new hips has had major improvements from what it used to be. You are a positive person which makes the recovery from walking with a walker, then cane, then a free man so much easier!
When DH has his done they wanted him to stand up right away (they numbed him so needed to make sure the urinary system is still working) He didn't cooperate well because he did not think those hips would work yet. When he finally got up, his anxiety kept him from following through with their request. So they ran the water faucet- and yep! Everything worked!
Good Drs think out of the box

I know about the running water treatment. In 1965 I got a really bad case of food poisoning and laid in a bed in a ward in Detroit hospital. After two weeks of being on an IV they allow me to get up and to the bathroom. I could not pee no matter how hard I tried. That's when a nurse came in and turned the water on in the sink. As soon as I was drained I was dismissed and free to go. No more IV and nor more catheter. I came close to dying because I waited so long to go to the doctor. I hadn't been able to keep any liquid or food down for 2 weeks.

Drs and nurses must have a colorful life with lots of stories they could tell!

storming out . So cold. slept from 3-7 am. I woke up soaked and no coffee was made I will need to make some or do without.
SD is supposed to come this evening No mowing with this much rain. Im so thirsty

Granny I hope someone has been there by now to help with the coffee you need and dry clothes. A visiting home heath nurse is really needed for you and Tom both. Your doctor should be on top of that and have it already started. Sometimes I think they are treating you like a disposable weed in a garden.

My wife has a few. Not sure I can repeat one of them on here but I'm going to because it is the truth. On night while she was on duty in the ER a young man was brought in with a butter nut squash stuck in his colon. It had to be surgically removed. When he was asked how he got it in there he told the doc that he fell on it.

Then there was a tragic night when another young man was brought in bad shape but still alive. He told the doc he wanted to get high and all he could find at his house was Dursban. It put him down for good. They had no way to treat him for an overdose of that insecticide that has now been taken off the market.

It's normal for it to hit once in a while. Life can throw us some surprises for sure.
Glad yoyr back.

You're right about hip replacement is better. Years ago my brother in law got his done. He started feeling ill, all over. Long story short..again.. their was a lawsuit going on for the type of hips put into him. When the dr. removed the old he said there was a huge amount of black goo in the whole socket area. Yes, my brother in law got some money from that law suit. He felt a bit better after the change, then e mven better, but still has problems from it all.
