Just for a little fun (and to answer some of your questions) I’ll post these few photos of the Corvette Stingray
We’ve had the car for a long time (I never drive it–but I do ride in it)
He used to drive it in the winter
Since it has a rag top and a hard top.
But the icy roads and blizzard conditions made him stop that nonsense and just use it in the summer time….with the top down.
He gets offers all the time to buy it…but, well, you know the answer to that question 🙂 It’s Terry’s baby.

The next night found us in Denver. Terry had a meeting he had to go to and I thought I would enjoy having a break.
First Independence Pass then a canyon of very tall buildings… skyscrapers they are called (as all of you know).
We had a room fairly close to the 16th Street Mall so we were able to walk over there.
Now DO NOT laugh at me, but I get lost in places like that….all the buildings look the same, there are vehicles EVERYWHERE, and tons of people from all walks of life.
I had it in my head that I would walk around and take some pretty cool city shots…I didn’t make it. Two blocks to the mall, one block one way and then one block the other way is about all I could do or I would have been hopelessly turned around and not able to get back to the hotel.
I admire all of you who live and work and can function in large and giant cities.
We had snow on the passes, but not too bad.
I’m just glad we are home. (I don’t get lost in land around here or on the forest areas…just in concrete jungles, I guess.—I know, rather sad.)

When the heat gets to be too much, and we don’t want to work (work is always there waiting for you), it’s time to go for a little drive.
For more Sunday Stills go here!
Sun on your head, wind in your hair, the sound of a cool motor….

Terry finished rolling late Monday evening
(Rolling is where you smash the plowed clumps down into soft manageable soil)
After the fertilizer was spread he covered it up by marking out the water furrows
(That’s the combine herd…and a couple of old cars which really needs to be hauled away…. Someday, I’m told, we will get to it.)
Straight rows are a must. Other farmers drive by and always (I do mean always) make a comment on if your rows are straight or not.
With today’s tractors the GPS does all the work, therefore the rows are perfect. We have no such tractor…Terry relies on scribes (marker bars), getting started right, and driving straight. Otherwise, he has to take a ‘ribbing’ until the rows grow shut.
Today we (this is where I start helping him with the farming) work on setting up the gated pipe, making transmission ditches and waste ditches, it won’t be long now until we start water. In fact any day now.

One thing farmers love is good sale, but it also looks like ‘car guys’ like a good sale also.
A neighbor of ours who is a salvage/collector/??? held an auction. The road was packed with interested car part buyers, making our little farming area hum with big trucks and assorted vehicles from local and out of state purchasers.
