    I hate life, not a fair moment in it.

    Been MIA since spring planting and life has been crazy. Currently in the process of moving to a farm 10 miles south of where I live now. Redoing the kitchen, 1 of the bathrooms, all of the flooring as well as knocking out a couple walls to open the place up. It's an opportunity I approached back in the fall of 2016 after I bought my first farmland and it is finally happening. Not sure if it'll be for 2023 yet but a good chunk of farm ground is also a part of the deal. Possibly enough I might not be working full time in ag research anymore. More than anything, I can't wait to get my kids out on a farm full time and enjoy the childhood I had living in the country. Kids are happy and healthy and the wife is up for a promotion in the coming months as well. Sure have a lot to be thankful for.

    Surprise. They live in town, so it's a short hop. But a pleasant surprise...

    Had 1 important task to get done today at work, compliance for the company 401 K had to be done by July 31st. Got that done and it was huge weight off my shoulders, left work at noon going to grill up a nice top sirloin steak then go for a pontoon ride tonight. First time in a long time I feel great, care free, no grind in my head. I have to post a picture later from Saturday night northern lights and a million stars.

    Dont miss the 60 degrees below 0 in winter, snow in July, but seeing the Aurora Borealis was 1 of the highlights of my life while I was stationed in Montana. Will make it somewhere sometime in the near future so my wife can share the experience. Miss seeing the stars also.

    So my little sister had tickets for today's Twins game with her 3 boys, she had a medical procedure rescheduled so she asked me if I would take her boys to the game. I took my little sister to ball games when she was a teenager so it is only fitting I bring her boys. It will be an Uncle Buck afternoon for the boys at the ball park.
