Anybody know why literally all of a sudden everytime I try and upload a photo all I get is: "Oops! We ran into some problems."

We are currently back in central Indiana where I grew up. That is my uncle's house, it was built in 1910. No style there, that's a farm house.

I see a couple of goats and a mini horse as well 😂

That articulated 4WD snuck in on the Johnny Poppers...

Yea the goats and mini are pets. There are some cattle out back too.

Yea occasionally some things that aren't green sneak in somehow hahaha. The combine was down on a different piece of ground so he didn't get to see that this trip. The semi's are white and the new honey wagon is black so they are getting real color crazy of late 🤣

Every spring and fall for the last 6 years, I have traveled 170 miles to central Illinois to help Wife's 80+ brother in law and nephew put in and take out crops. I'm quickly approaching 70 years of age myself and every picture they take of me looks just like this :).
They tell me to keep track of my time and they will pay me, I laugh and tell them they should charge me for playing with their big boy toys. Since I won't give them hours, every year, I get a phone call telling me to go to the meat locker and pickup the beef with my name on it. Truth be told I "almost" feel guilty eating, "almost" :)

With the price of meat these days that's probably worth more than a paycheck hahaha. We just got bought and had a longhorn butchered and shewwww that was pretty penny. Filled up the freezers for the next year+ though.

As soon as he's old enough to drive, so 12? 🤣, we are shipping him down to farm boot camp for the summers. I told my cousin, give him a bed and some supper and he's all yours!!

I started driving IH 350 tractor by myself at age 10, drove 1948 ford pickup at age 12.
I wouldn't turn a youngster loose as soon these days with farm equipment just because the equipment is 4X larger, more powerful and much much more expensive.

My first accident at age 10, talked Dad into letting me gas up the IH 350 while he finished lunch. Pulling into the 300 gallon overhead farm tank, I had trouble getting the clutch in and instead of hitting the gas tank, I hit the wood garage door next to the tank. Backed the tractor out of the door, filled the tractor tank and was fixing the garage door when Dad came out. Expecting the worst, Dad flipped over a bucket, sat down, looked the situation over, and said nothing for the longest time. When he finally spoke, he calmly asked is the tractor full? Yes sir. Check the oil like I showed you? Yes sir. Good, good job missing the fuel tank, maybe you should not pull up to anything until you get better with that clutch. Pull up along side the front, understand what I'm saying? Yes sir. Good, get that door fixed and bring me some ice water about 3:00. That was it. :)

That's a beautiful farm!
Those were the days, I'd do it all over again in a minute but there are no farmers left living in the family that knows me,
I got an uncle that ownes a bunch of texas and some of Mexico but he dont know me.

Thanks! My cousin is at least 3rd/4th generation on that land.

They have a pretty spectacular place and it's always expanding. They buy up ground like it's going out of style haha. They have several thousand acres if recall. I know it's a ton!

Had a couple of chickens ready when we got home so butchered three up last night and threw one straight in the crockpot for a batch of chicken salad for lunches this week. Other two went in the freezer for later.

Vaca is over and we are back in PHX 🙁 it's hot lol. And obnoxiously humid this year! These were a couple of birds that I should have done before we left but just didn't have time. They are a couple of weeks older than I'd like but still look great though.

Had to take him out of the crockpot this morning with a spoon!!

Hot damn 🤯 look at that debris free place right there.....that guy does fast work! We did that whole place I'm about 8/9 hours. I actually just unloaded all the stuff out of my trailer the other day.

We are also state licensed to act as guardian/conservator/trustee for disabled and or incapacitated adults.

This is for a client that has a special needs trust that we are trustee for and she begged for a new car and then when it finally showed up she changed her mind. Hence the special needs trust.

So we will just sell it and put the money back in the trust.

We actually got one that was incoming already on a truck, so we got it pretty much right off the semi. So a week, since it was already inbound. But.......then we tried to talk her into actually keeping it for 5 months until we got tired and gave up. So it's just been stored it's short life since she wouldn't touch it.

Dogs earned their keep today! Just gave them both a big ol' beef stick.

Was trying to get my son to bed and heard holy hell being raised outside, not their normal bark, it was their hunting bay. Ran out and the boys caught a snake and had it pinned down about 5 feet from the porch. Didn't get any pictures in the commotion, but got them off and picked him up and moved him off the property.

Good boys!! Guard that house!

It was kind of a doggy day now that this happened.

We took the kids up to the water park and ordered some pizza for lunch. Just a little after church fun on a hot day.

After we got back while the rest of the family was resting, I did some command refreshers with one of my other dogs. Remington "Remi" has come a long way since I got him! He is super smart and is attached to my hip. He goes to work with me everyday, sits in the garage with me, everything.

I can't remember where you are at but my wife said the "Produce on Wheels" Tucson location this week has a great box for tomorrow! She was pissed because it is way better than the one up here this week. Check it out if you need produce. 🍺
