It was a pretty quiet day at work today, especially in the afternoon. 🤫 I worked from home all day and it rained a lot. I have a Zoom meeting tomorrow morning so I’ll probably drive down to there for a while. Watched some YouTube videos 📼I downloaded weeks ago after work and started to read but I couldn’t get into the book 📙 I got from the library. No big loss for sure.

That YouTube video on Justin Rhodes channel of the unassisted cattle birth 🐄 really is quite amazing video to watch 📺. I was also watching the Arms Family Homestead chase around pigs 🐽 that had gotten loose and NB88 chop down trees 🌲that were in risk of falling across his driveway 💥 during the winter. Yeah, I do watch videos sometimes but I don’t have commercials when I watch them at home 🏡 and I am sure most of commercial television is about glammer and not about shoveling poop 💩 or moving cows.

I went over to John Wolcott’s house 🔎and was looking through his photo collection 📸 and documents 📄 some more. Some of those photos I found were quite neat. A pretty good thunderstorm ⛈ rolled through right when I was leaving but it let up to almost nothing by the time I got on the highway 🚘 but it still was a dark and rainy drive home with a few limbs down on the road. 🍃At least I didn’t loose power where I live.

Before visiting John Wolcott I went to Walmart for supplies and food. 🍞🧀🌯 I bought a replacement hair trimmer as the one I had was getting plugged up and dull and lacked the shorter blades I need for cutting my hair shorter. ✂ I was going to order another set of cutting guides online but they were nearly the price of a new unit. I’ll have to see what parts I can salvage from the old one like maybe the power cord 🔌 before tossing. 🗑️ Maybe some wire from the motor too.

If you don’t believe autumn is coming, 🌽 I saw a farm in Washington County was already chopping silage for the fall. 🐮 Dairy cattle with their high nutrition needs rely a lot on silage and unlike most other dairy commodities like high moisture corn or hay, silage is almost entirely grown on farms where it is fed. Too heavy and to risky for spoilage for it to be traded. Outside of hay its the biggest part of dairy cow feed. All of it has to be chopped before the first frost or it will be destroyed. Next Tuesday is September 1st, Labor Day is late this year.

Got to bed early 🛏 and I woke up quite early too. But that’s good it ensures that I can go for my morning walk 🚶🏻 before what appears to be a very busy day today at work. I didn’t even realize last night was the DNC speeches this morning as I was too busy reading that book on pig farming. 🐽 Understanding feed rations for hogs is probably far more important than whatever bull 🐂 Biden his Time or the Trumpster is rambling about.

I was annoyed that I am out of milk 🐮 again but I had enough for my coffee ☕ which was a little blacker than normal. 🖤I don’t do creamer or sugar or salt in my coffee but I do like milk on my coffee. I usually prefer my coffee cold this time of year – after sitting on the stove for a few days. I’m sure the mold growth adds flavor and is important for fighting off the Corona’s virus. 👾

Starting out as another autumn like morning but more heat will push in today 😰 and especially tomorrow. But fortunately tomorrow I’m planning to head out to Schoharie and spend some time at the Mine Kill Pool 🏊🏻‍♂️ before it’s done for the summer. The morning walk 🚶🏻 should be nice today.

I realize with two Zoom meetings 📹 today I’m going to have to shower 🚿 and shave and put on my politician’s suit 👔well at least my dress shirt and blazer. Otherwise with remote work nobody knows on the internet if you are dog 🐶.

On this day in 1959, United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs an executive order proclaiming Hawaii the 50th state of the union. I guess that makes Barack Obama a US Citizen. 🧓🏾Doesn’t matter neither President Trump or his fan club Q Annon would believe that as they think the former president is a child sex trafficker like their former buddy Jerry Espstein.

See, there is the evidence that I follow the news 📰 carefully, which isn’t quite true ever since my radio 📻 started giving me problems. Heck, I didn’t even realize that last night was Joe Biden’s speech 💬 at the DNC. I do remember listening 👂 to Barack Obama’s 2008 DNC speech up in that holler camping at Burnt Rossman ⛺ listening to 1010 Wins as that was the only channel I could get besides that very werid Christian Raddio station. I’ve listened to that station a bit and I can tell you I think 🤔 you’d have to spent too much time breathing in burnt plastic or smelling the chemicals in the sprayer tank 🚜 to get into it. But I respect folks belief and I totally get why folks want to live in the mountains ⛰ with their guns 🔫. Me too!

Yes, it looks like Sunday is going to be a hot one. 😰 But I figure it’s best to enjoy it as September is just around the corner 🍂and autumn is just over a month away – September 22nd. 🎃 All those moldy carved pumpkins for Halloween sitting on door steps just waiting to be tossed in the garbage, crush and preserved forever next to the crushed television 📺 set in the local mound. 🗑 I think when I own land I’d rather compost, feed them to chickens 🐔 or pigs 🐷 especially because I doubt moldy pumpkins would burn well in the burn barrel. 🔥

I am still hoping to get up to Piseco Powley Road ⛺ come mid September should Stratford get its bridge rebuilt by then. 🚧I heard they’re making progress but I’m taking a wait and see approach to hear when it will be open again. I want to cool off one more time at the Potholers before it gets super cold out and the road is closed for the winter.
