Ag Report

The ag report is as follows: We have agriculture. You just can't see much of it because of all the snow.

 Abnormal and weird to see these two together on the window sill. So the past month has been a bit strenuous on the old farmer. (Whine) Finally finished the blue print for my sister's new house. Hasn't been easy as I have been fighting back problems and a really bad cold and another snow storm. (Whine) The day I finished I went to the doctor because of some really bad pain in my big toe. In January I dropped a piece of steel on it and was sore and turned black and blue, so I thought that maybe I had broken it and it hadn't healed right. Wrong! X-rays were fine and the Dr. said I had gout. What? Oh yeah. Extremely painful. So he gave me painkillers and anti-inflammatories and yesterday it finally started to feel better. Now I have to change my diet. Less beef and pork and meat in general and more fruit and veggies. No beer. It seems beer is one of the worst things for gout. Good thing I don't drink much any more. Whiskey and pop cocktails are out. So the occasional vodka and  fruit juice will have to suffice. Low-fat dairy products are good, so ........

This is me eating LOW-FAT YOGURT! Yes it is me, not a doppleganger or celebrity look-alike, but the old farmer himself. Not too bad. So, anyway I'm going to get real healthy even if it kills me, and it probably will. Hey, someone has a birthday tomorrow, but I just can't remember who. Oh well, maybe it will come to me. Be good, be careful and be sure not to let your horses step on your chickens, cause it ain't pretty.
