Pappy Thanks to you for taking the time to post. It is appreciated and is a most welcome diversion to take my mind off other stuff going on right now.
Take care,
Brian

Ya Brian, that is one of the things I love about the farm and doing what I do, I can get down there and all the junk that is going on in the world from the Cov19 to all the other stuff that just seems to keep coming just goes away from my mind for a while and I can have some peace until I get back home and turn on the tube, open the paper or even talk to someone.

Seems their is no good news anymore and folks pessimist attitude just drives me crazy. As they say it is what it is and we really have not choice but to make the best of it, so why wine and cry. $:-\$

Pappy, thanks for putting up with us this past weekend. Connor really enjoyed it. He slept most of the way home yesterday. He was wore out. Looking forward to the next time down there.
