Howdy friends and neighbors. Missed ya last week. Bill Gates and I had little disagreement but it seems he was right and I now realize that I’m a PC…. and it crashed. Oh well, with the help of a local computer whiz, I’m up and running again, for now.
It’s going to be a short one this week as well. We are smack dab in the middle of wheat harvest and I have to get my wheat cut before the idiots in the US congress decide that wheat dust is causing climate change and I’m forced to buy a hybrid combine. I can see it now, a 4-foot header, a 40-foot solar panel and no air conditioner. Duct tape, 900 amp batteries, and jumper cables will be outlawed as well due to the fact they might have been used by a terrorist who had planned to wipeout a major city.
Well I’m glad I’m not in DC trying to win arguments with idiots. Instead I’m just trying to convert God given natural resources (soil, water, sun and wheat plants) into consumable products (flour, bread, pasta, etc.) while using natural resources that my neighbors produce (oil, fuel, and grease) using machines that other neighbors built (combines, pick-ups, trucks, augers, and bins) so they can buy my consumable goods. And all this couldn’t be done without duct tape, high-temp grease, a nine-sixteenth wrench, brake fluid, and a water jug. The difference between what I do and what Congress does is that at the end of the day, I can wash all the dirt and grime off.
I’m Monte Tucker, and that is what’s under my hat covered with wheat dust and high-temp grease.
