My lawn remains burnt so for me the living is easy. No snow and no lawn can life get any better? The truck pulls @ the Franklin County Field days went as expected with Jack Chamberlain winning in both ½ ton, and ¾ ton classes. Field days were a success and we look forward to participating again next year. The cook-off approaches and I will be submitting my two main recipes next week. This year if picked I will be fully armed and garnished as I try to advance to the finals.
The Haskell Contest concluded this past weekend @ Beautiful Monmouth Park and I finished in Mid Pack. My goal was to win so no bragging rights here. I will try to get to Saratoga this year @ some point but that is not looking promising. So it will just have to be contests from this point forward. If you have never been to Saratoga it would be worth the trip.
Congress appears to have stopped behaving badly and maybe just in time. Now possibly they can focus on Business Leaders taking their money off the sidelines and putting it in play. Listening to temper tirades at the podium from both sides of the aisle makes me scratch my head and wonder out loud why seasoned politicians don't understand that the country is evenly divided with no real majority anymore. Compromise is the only way to move forward. While it makes no one happy not to get all their wishes, accept the fact that this is where we are at and work with it. Good to see Vladimir Putin calling us an Economic Parasite. He must have forgotten that the only wealth his country obtained was by robbing European countries after WWII. Maybe he should pay off the money they owe us from The Lend Lease Act from the 1940's.
Oh well another Blog comes to an end. Be back next week.
