It’s a busy trucking day, with both Bill and Brandon out on the roads.  There are 9 loads scheduled to be delivered to GPC today…and one to Newburgh, Indiana!  We are grateful for today’s sunshine; it makes it more pleasant to be out and about… clean, dry roads and a bit warmer temperatures.  It’s 58ºF (14C), with very little wind.  Quite a contrast to yesterday, when the wind gusts were up to 40+ mph, and steady in the 30s.  Lost a few shingles off my roof at home yesterday.

Loading Bill and the Volvo for another trip out.

The ‘Tony Truck’ is ready to go…

John used this beautiful day to replace the flag on our taller grain leg today.  It was getting pretty tattered, but now it’s beautiful…again.

John replaced the flag this afternoon. Looks great flying up there.

John and I saw a bald eagle flying over the farm today.  I know the population is increasing, but still it is a very special sight to spot one of these magnificent birds.

What a big wingspan!

Impressive

The calendar page flips over again tomorrow.  My, oh my… how the days fly by.  I hope we are in the fields by the end of the month.  It would be great to get most of the nitrogen applied for the 2023 corn crop before April arrives.   Easter comes on April 9 this year, and it is rare to get much done in the fields before Easter.  We will see.

The Indiana HS Boys’ Basketball tourney begins tonight.  Our local team, the South Knox Spartans will play Sullivan in the opening game of the ‘sectional’.  There are five other teams in this sectional, and the championship will occur Saturday evening.   Our sectional is one of the toughest in Class 2A in Indiana… with several highly-ranked teams.  We are hopeful for a sectional win.

Class 2A Sectional #47 at North Knox

Have a good week.
