> [@Greywolf73](#): > > I also shucked corn today. I husked corn today. Four ears. This week, I have begun the weaning process for eight calves, unloaded one and half wagons of hay by myself, and assisted in the stringing of an electric fence. Today, I watched my dad cut down an enormous oak tree on the other side of the embankment for the new cattle barn, and thought the tree landed on him, because he didn’t emerge immediately, which caused me to cross myself for the first time in freaking years. The tree didn’t land on him, but it did land on a fence. All in a day’s work in McKnittington Hollow. ---

I named the four dump trucks that park behind John’s Pub. Two are named Tar (Tar 1 and Tar 2), one is named Gamma, and the fourth one doesn’t have a name yet because I’ve only seen him around a couple times and haven’t gotten the letters off his door yet. ---

- I announced on the radio today that my darkest music secret is that I attended a Cher concert. - I had a date with a girl I hadn’t seen in 7 years (it went well, thanks for asking). - I completed a Sudoku on the “fiendish” level without guessing - pure logic baby. ---
