On the road

Things on the farm were caught up, so Sue and I took the opportunity to go to North Carolina and see Jill and Chris.  It's been a fun and educational week.  For instancewe stopped in Vincennes and got a drink.  I learned not to waste my money on
 Absolutely the worst tasting stuff I ever drank that did not involve a prescription.  We made it to Cookeville, Tennessee the first day.  When we first started coming to Tennessee we got a BP credit card because they offered promos on prices for company cards.  They still have deals like that.  We had some bonus points on out BP card so we filled up while there.
 Yes, that is the price we paid.  Just to prove it here is the receipt and the regular pump price
 I did figure out I need to work on my marketing.  Organic hard red wheat is selling for $115 a bushel at two different grocery stores we stopped at.
 I could go to some extra effort for that price.  Well, enough for now.  More in a few days.

In class again ?

Yep, in class again.  I spent Saturday in a First responder refresher course at Lakeland College's Effingham campus.
Got to meet some new people (this is about half the class)
Brushed up on a few things
Learned a few new things
And even passed the test!

I want to thank the Air Evac folks for the training.  Their part of the class fees was $60 and they had 3 people there all day, one coming from near Henderson, Kentucky
I learned any day you don't ride in one of these on a stretcher
it could be called a good day.
