Joke of the Day
How bout a blowjob?
Two married buddies are out drinking one night when one turns to the other and says, "You know, I don't know what else to do. Whenever I go home after we've been out drinking, I turn the headlights off before I get to the driveway. I shut off the engine and coast into the garage. I take my shoes off before I go into the house, I sneak up the stairs, I get undressed in the bathroom. I ease into bed and my wife STILL wakes up and yells at me for staying out so late!"
His buddy looks at him and says, "Well, you're obviously taking the wrong approach. I screech into the driveway, slam the door, storm up the steps, throw my shoes into the closet, jump into bed, rub my hands on my wife's arse and say, 'How about a blowjob?' ....And she's always sound asleep."

People think that Italy never did anything after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire but some of the most powerful countries in Europe during the middle ages and early modern period were Italian. The problem was none of them could consolidate power throughout the rest of the Peninsula. Italy is a pain in the butt to conquer.

If MacArthur wasn't held in such high esteem (the American public thought he walked on water) he would have been court martialed. He had advance warning the Japanese might be preparing something, enjoyed local superiority in both ground forces and aerial assets, and while defending the entirety of the Philippines would have been impossible Mac could have held onto the main island much longer. And... he threw it all away and left a lot of good men to die in horrible ways.

Do you run Deere equipment? Read a lot about their "right to repair" stuff. It is as bad as it seems?
I haven't had any problems yet but if you're talking about Deere and their proprietary software yes thats a big deal. Hope the people challenging Deere in court win.

Joke of the day
The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.
The auditor said, "Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, Which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable."
"I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it," says Grandpa. "How about a demonstration?"
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, "Okay. Go ahead."
Grandpa says, "I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye."
The auditor thinks a moment and says, "It's a bet."
Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops.
Grandpa says, "Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye."
Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet. Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
"Want to go double or nothing?" Grandpa asks. "I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between."
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he ends up urinating all over the auditor's desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Grandpa's own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
"Are you okay?" the auditor asks.
"Not really," says the attorney. "This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!"

An event like this, which is bound to happen eventually, would be far, far worse today then it was back then. The world population is so large that even with our incredible farming techniques we would likely see billions of people starve to death or die from disease due to being in a weakened condition. And yes, that would likely include folks here in the US.

best Sunday school ever
Little April was not the best student in Sunday school. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, "Tell me, April, who created the universe?" When April didn't stir, little Johnny, a boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. "GOD ALMIGHTY!" shouted April and the teacher said, "Very good" and April fell back asleep. A while later the teacher asked April, "Who is our Lord and Saviour," But, April didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. "JESUS CHRIST!" shouted April and the teacher said, "very good," and April fell back to sleep. Then the teacher asked April a third question. "What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?" And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time April jumped up and shouted, "IF YOU STICK THAT F*****G THING IN ME ONE MORE TIME, I'LL BREAK IT IN HALF AND STICK IT UP YOUR ARSE!" The Teacher fainted.

Last year I had to pull a few more I calved out about 15 heifers.

First calf heifers are always a challenge-
Working with a client right now that bred 40 to a 2,200 lb Charolais bull-out there at least twice a week but hopefully they are about done
Been a tiring experience

He had his hands full. We use heifer bulls "bulls that throw a smaller calf" on heifers. I did 44 a couple years ago and even with using heifer bulls it kept me busy. Anything can happen with first calf heifers.

You used to post these in the afternoon, and now you've rewound it all the way to early morning.
Pretty soon you'll cross midnight again and enter back into the previous day.
