Has anyone played the German card game Skat, pronounced scott. It started in Altenberg Germany in 1810. My grandparents and father and uncles played it. I know how to play it basically but the finer points i usually have to review. My Dad played it until he could no longer see the cards - but he still drove his tractor.

I guess I was somewhere around 10 years old when my Dad taught me how to play cribbage. So my favourite card games are in order of preference; cribbage, rummy, hearts and euchre. Never did like canasta.

Nice fox. Great looking tail.

ahhh the good old days, before tv, when Saturday night card games were common.
My parents played bridge with the doctor who delivered me, close friend of my Fathers, for almost 20 years.
They would all drink and smoke too much. The good doc's wife must have been the DD.
But he never had to worry about his driving after all, poor guy died from two bee stings
. Even with epi and rescue squad there relatively fast.
Always wondered how the hospital couldn't save him. Early 1960's.

I never played cards much, little skill, not a gambler.

Shower felt good, got all the fertilizer and insecticide spray off me. Pulled the water wagon behind the JD garden tractor.
Got the entire place done, all the potatoes and all the collards. I expect them to all look darker green tomorrow.
Used about 100 gallons in all. Neem oil, spinosad and concentrated fish and kelp extract. Bonus, no smell.
I only have to do this fertilizing once so nice to know next thing is harvest in June. Actually next thing for the potatoes is running
a bush hog over the stalks a few days before harvest. So now they are fed and coated with insecticide and that's about all I can do.

mowing and watering on tap for tomorrow after seeing arthritis doc,
who thankfully is about 14 minutes away, second floor of the hospital.

boy I'm pushing down on the throttle and just nothing is happening. Like I'm in limp home mode.
what a difference being off the steroids. Now everything is back to hurting.

Well, I'm disappointed....dealer called a little while ago...supposedly the 5 star rated shipper "cancelled" an hour before they were supposed to pick up the tractor. How do they get five stars if they do that?..... I'm starting to think it was BS.... Now it is again listed out for shipping bids.. So unknown ship date... I'm having second thoughts about not going with Bruno's out of Arkansas. They would have been cheaper ... But I was trying to avoid this BS to begin with.

OK, I 'm done ranting... For now...

".... boy I'm pushing down on the throttle and just nothing is happening. Like I'm in limp home mode. what a difference being off the steroids. Now everything is back to hurting."- Drew. Powerful drugs have powerful side effects and the inherent withdrawal reactions. The "hurt" will hopefully return to pre-Prednisone levels.

Ted- The tractor is coming..... Vent all you want.

Soil is clay. Concerned might not work, but it does.

Hope to get next 12 ft tomorrow.
Point is to leave the 1 1/2 in PVC as a sleeve. Likely just the 3/4” iron pipe would be easier.
