rainy update

Well we decided earlier today to try and replant some of the fields that weren't coming up. Grandpa finished one field and then a surprise pop up shower came that surprised us all. We should be able to get back at things later tomorrow, the overall rain wasn't that much. Hopefully we can get everything in the ground and growing here soon, we do depend on such a thing to make a living.

The dealership where I bought my truck keeps sending me incentives to come in and buy a new truck. I wouldn't mind doing such, but I don't think I can afford one this time of year. If I buy a truck, I can use that on my taxes as a farm expense and get a bit of a tax break. I don't know if I would want to trade in my current truck though. My youngest brother has expressed interest in buying it from me to use as a college truck. I would just as soon sell it to him than get a low trade in value at a dealer. From what I can find on the website, they don't have any chassis cab diesel crew cabs on the lot. Oh well, those are going to set me back about 50 grand new anyways.

I am also considering more of what I should do with my savings. I had thought about using it to buy a wood burning furnace to heat the house with, but think I might use some of that money to work over my upstairs some more. The wood paneling room is letting in too much heat, and a drywall work over would do it some good. I did get all the junk out of the unfinished part so now all I need to do is shop vac up all the debris and put down some plywood to walk on. I don't think I can spend the money to fix that part of the house like I should now, so it might have to wait another year or two.
