    She called a number on an email from Etrade, not, gave the guy access to her computer, had to change bank accounts, have her computer cleaned, couldn't find my house, been here 8 years and she called 4 times as she was lost in this small town she has lived in 20 years. It's got worse since then

    Very sorry to hear that. My Mom was so good at masking the signs, I didn't realize how far she'd slipped until it was too obvious to miss. I don't know that anything would have changed if we knew earlier. It's very hard to deal with.

    Do you have to make hay when the sun shines or can you do it at night when it's cooler

    Hotter the day the better the hay. Animals love it, humans hope to survive it,lol. It does make a person appreciate those that work in these temps all the time.

    I used to make hay and we did it in the daytime but you usually let it lay a couple three days before baling so I just wondered if it couldnt be done at night

    maybe, bt not up here. We get to much dew as it cools down at night. Would like to be able to.

    A lot of the corn here, has had tassles for weeks.

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    Not sure what they’re putting in corn seeds now but “knee high by July” is gone. Some of these stalks are taller than me already

    It's not Milo is it, relative of corn but doesn't have ears, used for feed, used to cut cane from the milo fields in eastern Kansas as a kid

    Installed a couple irrigation control panels this morning, one for my Aunt, another for her neighbor.

    edited July 6

    You guys are dear friends to me and in that I know if you had this happen I’d want to be there for you too. I didn’t quite reciprocate that as I didn’t want to be a thing. I’ve been keeping this one to myself cause I didn’t know what to really say about it. My dad passed July 1st following his battle with cancer. I’m thankful he’s no longer confused, scared or in pain. He was never a smoker but he did enjoy the jokes and stories I’d share with him from vHerf or here. Going to miss him for sure. Thanks y’all.

    Sorry to hear that Glen, I know the pain. He's in a better place. Cherish the memories

    I was 40 when my dad died of Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. We knew it was coming, of course, but that didn't really help. There were so many things that I could only talk with him about, and for years afterward something would come up and my first thought was "Oh, I need to tell...", and then it would kick in again. As Randy said, cherish the memories, I'll add this, let them make you smile rather than cry.

    I'm very sorry to hear that, Glenn. Condolences to you and your family. In time, it won't hurt as much as it does now.

    My condolences to you and yours, Glenn. Its tough losing your dad. I cried like a baby after my dad's funeral. I hope you can find peace with it soon.

    I'm very sorry to hear that, Glenn. Lost my mother unexpectedly at 25 I know the pain isn't easy to navigate.

    I don't have problems, just more work to do.
