Been one crazy year.?ÿ I'm still trying to catch up.?ÿ I need to slow down, act my age.?ÿ Body is telling me to stop.?ÿ Trying to shut my business down and go to work part time for a younger surveyor.?ÿ Let somebody else bear the stress.

?ÿ

Just glad I didn't see my name in the Rest in Peace catergory!

?ÿ

I see a few have left us permentantly.

Always good to hear from you, Ridgeline.

A short while back someone mentioned something here that made me think of a certain photo shared of a group of surveyors at some meeting out West, including you.?ÿ At the time there was a cute name given to those in the group photo.?ÿ Do you remember what that name was??ÿ It has slipped by mind. (One of those things that happens when one reaches our age.)?ÿ Was it something about taxi drivers?

"Eastern European Cab Drivers" as I recall. I also recall that it was a bit chilly that night.

Just realized that it's been a while since I've seen a post from you. Know what you mean about letting someone else have the headaches. Hope you are hanging in there healthwise. Happy 2021 to you.?ÿ

Assume you are still on the farm, Leon.?ÿ Miserable year in 2020 thanks to too much rain early followed by no rain later.?ÿ Talked with my farm renter in the Oklahoma Panhandle today.?ÿ One farm he owns has 220 acres of farm ground.?ÿ They planted it all to wheat last Fall.?ÿ A terrible windstorm came through in early Spring and literally blew the seed out of the ground.?ÿ So they planted it all to milo.?ÿ Another windstorm came along and blew out large portions of the field so the planted some haygrazer in the same field.?ÿ They combined a total of 15 acres and it only made 9 bushels to the acre.?ÿ The haygrazer did fairly well so they put cattle on it to make a little money.
