Yeah, JP, I prefer fall myself as well.  It just hit me that I haven't taken part in any "summer activities" this year (beach, lake, pool, vacation, etc.).  We have been very busy this year.

Trust me I cannot wait to get out of this dreaded $hithole.  But I didn't really have a choice in living here seeing as my parents lived here when I was born and they never moved, and for some reason...cheap...I stayed here for college...cheap.  Anyways, I should be done with school by the end of next summer and will be moving next fall to Nebraska  :flag: Which means I will be closer to all of you in the Plains and all.  We will have to meet up or something...

Woohoo!!  Almost soybean and milo time!!   :thumb:

You are the first person I've ever heard cheer milo harvest.  I've never been around the stuff before, but everyone I've talked to that has says its the most miserable crop there is, dusty, itchy, you name it.

 

Soybeans, well in good going they are ok, but if those stems are green they are one huge pain in the ass.  Gets that combine growling and rumbling, even going less than 1mph.  I'll pick corn first any day of the week, thats fun stuff.   :thumb:

I dont muchmind milo, except for the pains that go along with it. (itch, scratch, dust etc.)  If it is a fairly good stand you can cut it high, thats why I like to cut it.  Just dont make me do it with a rowhead.  If I do, I end up forgetting to watch the far end and leave a single row the whole length of the field and I have to go back and get it.  We usually cut it with a reel, fun part is weve got to put the #### milo fingers on before we can use it.  Sucks putting them on and sucks taking them off, removing the sickle guard bolts and holding the fingers on with them.  Soybeans are rough on the machines!  Cutting so low to the ground, it takes whatever is laying there with the plants.  We havent picked corn for probably a little over year.  Just decided not to grow any this year I guess.  I still say my favorite is good old wheat.  All you have to do is make sure your cutting the width of the platform and no rowheads!

Fire bad!  Cleaning out the machine SUX.  Crawling around in there is hard on the knees, I dont get too crazy in there.  Good to peek around everywhere and get chaff off or away from anything that spins or moves.  Anybody ever throw a knife in a straw chopper before??  Man that gets ugly, I wish I had some pictures of that...  Put holes in all kinds of stuff.  Friend of ours gave sunflowers a shot this year.  Didnt look too bad.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
