How she was a ag business major in college.   A disgruntled student adviser in high school told her never be a teacher.   With 3 kids she about lived at school, a principle took her aside and said you should be a teacher. The rest is history. That women is the only principle she ever liked. There are a few it is lucky, she is kind of scared of big machinery like a backhoe.

So yes Tyler I try real hard to nod and yes deer , that miserable asshole. An no generally does not keep me out of trouble. But she could not take all the BS and was tired at 24 years.  And then they wanted rid of the older teachers so she grabbed there insurance for almost free for 4 years and left with a big smile. But did not keep her away from school, volunteered in 3 or 4 classes until the covid. So the school talk  did not go away.

Had to go by the Tasma Hall district office and pay copay of the dental  and eye care for coming year yesterday. An along comes some gal and the school talk begins as I yon, an yes , an more nodding.

The opening comment was only partly in jest. Must have been 97 crops where so bad, or was it just prices so bad, even with her pay the tax man got us errand income credit thing so IRS sent me a check rather than the other way. An set the oldest son up for low cost college as his parents was poor people. The banker was very happy I did not have to barrow grocery money, beside fuel, seed, and fertilizer money. 

Have two Nieces are teachers, dare say they leave some level of desire to what I would consider for a woman of intelligence, my comments around them have started a few arguments.

no, but wife now tells me what to do..when to and how to . that's a teacher,right ?

Instead of using Roundup to kill the weeds, she's decided I have to move all my implements next door,use my stack of patio stones and steel roofing to kill the weeds,then I get to move the stuff back, well most..she has zero nee for a dozen good T-posts, the 5' rototiller, the B112/tiller ot 3 IBC totes.....

hmmmm....

 Old one room school house fixed up with community use as a big part of its use. Some put forth the idea of advertising it as wedding venue for the  BIG EASY money we would make. Finally the other males, and even some females could see what I was saying no money left after we paid for the extra maintenance and such. With discussion was decided we wanted a professional wedding planner between us and Bridzilla.  The idea was cooling quickly, and then covid came. Hopefully that idea doesn't come back to life anytime soon. 

May you have quality time with the dog.

Anyway when people ask me how my wife is doing I like telling them that I have a thing for my daughters english teacher and we've had this thing going for a whole and ( insert wife's name) is doing fine too.

From the projects you have shared, you never make excuses. You just keep pushing until a answer shows up. You sur are an inspiration to me. Not that it has got up off my butt every day. I still find many excuses of to much pain in my joints to get a lot done.
