Am I the only one around here with dvr?! I dont even watch commercials. Just record the original and no reruns on what ya like and walakazam! Your entertained with tv of your liking.
No you're not. That's pretty much how I watch TV these days. About the only thing I watch live anymore is baseball.

I am all over the DVR. I never watch any commercials, except the superbowl when i watch the commercials and fast forward through the game.

This boat hit The Bonner bridge at Oregon Inlet a few weekends back. Lost steering and the capt ran it up on a sandbar to try and save the motors. Motors still flooded!!

Finally got a day kinda off! I been harvesting wheat for 10 days or so 14-16 hours a day. Its a really good year and we got 115 to 120 bushles an acre best I can figure till I get totals from the elevator. Got a few days now till barley is ready to fix a few things on combines and the truck. Im so used to it now that I cant sleep over 6 hours and been waking up at 4 most mornings even though I didnt have to be up till 5 so I should be all ready for early mornings hunting this fall:)

That is some really good wheat Musket Man. What do you normally yield up there in WA? We were down pretty bad here, cut a bunch of 20 bushel wheat.

I think the average for winter wheat in this area is around 65 bushels? 90 to 100 is pretty normal on summer fallow on good lower ground. Recrop 70 is pretty good. Go west of here 15 miles its alot drier and I think 50 or 60 is pretty good. I rotate winter wheat, barley, summer fallow.

I hear you on coors time MM. Farming and the equipment required like to throw curve balls. We do wheat, corn, fallow on our dryland. Irrigated is pretty much corn every year.

I wonder who was the brilliant YouTube executive who said "Hey I have a great idea, when a viewer is watching a YouTube video, lets post an advertisement OVER TOP of that video so it blocks the video actually being watched."

Was actually mud dobbers that threw me the curve this time. Thought the shift valve was stuck on my truck transmission but turned out all it was was they plugged up the air exhaust port up. of course by that time I had the seat floor board floor mats insulation ect all tore out for nothing. 2 more days and we will be done!

I have the truck full, both combines full and less then 2 combine loads left to cut and its trying to rain..... Had that feeling I should of made a mad run to the elevator lastnight and tried to finish. It was perfectly clear when we quit at 6:30 lastnight but the weather can change at any time around here.
