I'll load up another video tonight, but wanted to write a few things in the meantime....
Granny mentioned posting a video of her own, and I sure hope she does....boy, she sure does talk funny! Ha!
Anyway, it's gonna be 42 here tonight, and although it won't cause any damage - it will surely slow the tomato plant growth....Ya gotta love this global warming thing! The diseased roma plant was pulled yesterday, and a Cherokee Purple seedling was put in it's place. I'll have to purchase another tomato cage, now...
I've also rooted 4 suckers from the Opalka plants, and will have them as backup to my current paste tomato planting. I always like to have a plan B.
I've noticed a couple more people have chosen to follow the blog. Thank you! Man...that makes me feel really good...
As you can tell from my videos, I am indeed - a bonafide redneck. I certainly write alot better than I talk, that's for sure! One time in Oklahoma, I was explaining a very technical programming language to an individual, and he looked at me and asked "Are you really from Alabama?" Aw man....that made me laugh really hard...Just because someone talks funny, doesn't mean they're ignorant..Heh. Another person saw me successfully program a piece of equipment in record time, and then stated "You know....you're a whole lot smarter than you look". I shook his hand, thanked him.....and told him that he just made my day....Stuff like that frequently happened when I was a traveling service technician. I'll have to do a video of something technical sometime, and let you get a good laugh from it.
Anyway, back to the home front....My construction projects are getting backed up - mainly because of a couple of pieces of industrial equipment I'm working on for a friend. They are chillers for an exothermic generator, and take alot of time to assemble. I'll start on the shed again once they are finished, and should have it done sometime before fall. Taking care of the upkeep on 2 homes gets to be a challenge sometimes, and I'm always doing something for my parents, as well. Busy, busy, busy......
I'd like to address the nasty comment that a person left for my good friend sinfonian on his blog.....People have differing opinions sometimes, but that doesn't mean that a person should go out of their way to grudgingly make a point. I commend sinfonian for his willingness to post the rude comment, as I wouldn't allow it on mine. This "farmer" obviously has some kind of deficiency or something.....maybe he needs a "Happy Meal?" Ha....Because Sinfonian is my friend, I kinda feel like he did it to me, too. It's just like my Daddy always told me..." son, there's always an ass in the bunch." This is definitely true.....

I once had a friend with a really funny accent. When she was growing up she lived part of the time in the North and part of the time in the South. So she actually could do either, but she couldn't control it. It was whatever she had been around most recently. So when she came to college she had a southern accent and would gradually switch over to the northern one over about a month. She said her friends from back home would think it strange when she spoke like a northerner when she was on vacation from school.
Daphne, it actually hurts me to talk proper. Ha!
I'll fight anyone who says that you have an accent. Sounds right propper to me! :)
Well said for Sinfonian. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
ribbit - easy....now! Ha! Thanks, I just had to defend my friend.
EG, I must say I've heard you enough to "hear" your posts. They do sound funny to me, but in a smiling kind of way. It's endearing. I for one would never consider one's accent to be a sign of intelligence or skill. There are far too many immigrants here in the Seattle area for that to hold true. Chances are they work for Microsoft or some biotech company had have three degrees, hehe.
As far as your helping your friends and folks, I hear ya. I would have liked nothing more than to play in the yard this past glorious weekend, but I was cooped up renovating my folks' place.
Lastly, a big thank you for your kind words about the American Farmer comment. It was funny that I approved his comment before he even posted the coward one, hehe. Guess he really doesn't know me. Banker boy, I think my brother and maybe father-in-law called me that before, hehe.
I had no problem with his opinion. I get that Monsanto's seed is cheaper, until you add on the Roundup and fertilizers they sell you, and the fact you can't save seed for next year. I digress. To each their own and at least he wasn't vulgar. Hehe. I wonder if he'll come back and read the fresh followups from real readers. He'll probably think I wrote the comments or something. I guess everyone has strong opinions on certain things.
Anyway, superlong comment. Thanks again man, you're the best!
It going down to 42f here this evening as well. Looks like it will be the last cool evening too! Looks like I have a couple videos to catch up on, I'll check them out now.
Personally I find accents attractive, I'm dating a brit at the moment and loving every moment of it. My mother on the other hand favours the lovely southern US accent.
EG, Sin's lucky to have a friend like you.
