Random Thoughts XII - This Thread Delivers

Went to an auction in town, there was a John Deere B that was basically completely stripped down, but looked to have most of the parts with it. Went for $500. Back tires went for $200. Kinda wish I would if bid on it. Dad has one he got from grandpa when he passed away, its his baby. Would have loved to have one of my own. Not sure what I would have done with it, but I would have figured that part out.

These were the tractors everyone had when I was a little kid riding with my dad on his rural deliveries. I remember being sort of scared of belt driven auxiliary stuff running off of the big flywheel/pulley wheel. You'd have the pop pop pop pop of the tractor and the flapping of the belt.

Two bizarre calls in the last few minutes. Chicago number, called me first. I answer, and hear "Ni hao!" followed by a spate of Chinese. I hang up and block. Less t han a minuts later, Lew gets the same call.

Random discussion from work yesterday: Is maple syrup a condiment? The consensus ended up being yes, but that then started a discussion on whether or not butter was a condiment...

And yes, my boss was out of the office all day.

I’ve had two recent calls -let them go to voice mail - also Chinese. They are blocked.

Both are condiments what else would they be.

Butter can also be an ingredient.

It's not precluding it from being a condiment as well though

Yup. I was just responding to "What else could it be?"

People actually answer calls when they don't know the #?
I'm surprised by this. I won't touch a call if I don't know who it is.

I will if it's a 319 number but I had a job where that was an expectation at my new job I don't.

There are a couple of calls I am expecting so I don't have that luxury right now.

This, I dont answer if I dont have the number in my phone. Thats what voicemail is for.

Busted, it was me.

How can my phone’s autocorrect change “voice mail” to “bum”? Did I buy a British iPhone without realizing it?

 

[BoxsterCy]

People be texting me to save them a seat at the Mpls gamewatch cause they might be a little late. I am currently still sitting at home and yet to change out of my pajamas. Sloth day.

Probably not be getting there early.

I on the other hand am at Torrent Brewing watching the end of today’s Nebraska beat down, brought to you by Purdue.
We got here just in time for seats at the bar. Oktoberfest new beers and Cyclones football-can’t beat it!

My mom has called me 5 or 6 times in the last 2 or 3 days. I think she is dropping not some not so subtle hints.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Should probably stay away from the football board for a day or two.

The only thing I had planned for today was to mow the lawn but mother nature had different ideas. So instead I took the opportunity to drive around rural Story County with my camera. At least I got a good picture of Iowa's state flower!
