pyro
We had a great time on the 4th of July, Zeke is turning into quite a pyro. We blew up some flour bags and powder sugar (smells like cotton candy) both of which flamed up quite nicely.
Jeep for sale
very sad but the Jeep is for sale, I put it on ebay we will see I doubt it sells there.

Crash up Derby
We went to the McPherson county fair crash up derby, talk about fun! This was the boy's first CUD and they liked it, we were on the wrong side of the arena so the sun was in our eyes but it was still fun. I think that we will someday be a part of this type of event, I think maybe I will have some students working on how to refit the car (legally) so that I can win! Oh yeah Judah is again picking his nose, we have given up stopping this (other than at the table).
Clarification
Yes I did hang out my shorts of the truck. On a dump truck the mirrors are big and stick out at least 2 feet. I was very pleased with the results of hanging them. I thought about hanging the underwear out there also, but was afraid of getting pulled over. It was a good idea and I would do it again if need be, but rather not spill my water in the first place. Zeke and I are taking apart an old farm truck, Vince wants a trailer made from the bed for his generator. The rest will go to scrap.
Working hard on the farm
Not sure where the fake cow milking picture was taken? the other is Zeke making something in the kitchen, he is pretty good at making pies.
I took a load of scrap iron this morning to Salina and made almost 400$ from it. of course I had to drive the old dump truck, while listening to the GPS device bossing me around, trying to get me to go on the highway where I didn't want to take a 40 mph sanford and sons farming machine. I bet the the old farm has about 3-4 more loads like that of scrap. I may have to start going covertly to the neighbors to clean up their farms. My mug of water spilled on the seat and soaked my shorts as I was driving, I stopped and stripped and hung the shorts by the belt on the mirror to dry in the breeze. it worked pretty well, although it didn't help my thirst. I also cleared out a fence row yesterday to put up a fence, I had to use the wench on the 4 wheeler which is always fun while listening to a book on tape with my new ipod!
I got stung by a wasp on the junk pile over the weekend, since then I have given no quarter to the little pain givers. I bought a whole box of bug bombs that I lit off in the shop all at once. I was hoping to look out and see the fog coming out of the vents but that didn't happen. I may have to revert to the diesel in the carburetor while parked in the shop method that my dad so much favors. I also have carried around a fog bottle to shoot down any bogies I see, which I must admit is hard but therapeutic when I down one. my inlaws are convinced that I am going to keel over from a reaction to the stings even though I have no swelling now, so I have been faking fainting spells and incoherency to give them something to be concerned about. All in all it has been a good summer here I have the shop about half cleaned, every one is impressed that they can actually walk to the workbench. Vince now comes to me to ask where things are, not sure what he thinks of that. He is pretty patient with me, if I can just keep him from pulling items out my scrap iron to save!
