Sometimes I like to examine the world from a slightly different angle! Of course I mostly lean to the right!

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

@WestHardinFan1 So true!

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

@angelwish4you Looks like it has diminished slightly.🙏

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

@Logicalone @BostederCarla No rain here

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

@Goldstarmom2008 What happened to El Niño? Sorry to hear about your struggles.

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

I think I should clarify an earlier post. I will not be totally liquidating my herd, but I will probably be forced to get rid of one third to one half of my mature cows because of a lack of winter feed.

@1776_13 Had to change a blowout on my way to the Emergency Room after breaking my back in two places. Wife had just had knee replacement and wasn’t much help 😂

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

Never thought I’d see so many different opinions about the ground beef controversy. For some of us it boils down to a matter of timing. I have sympathy for people trying to feed a family and for them I wish beef was more affordable. For those of us facing drought the timing sucks

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

Things used to be much simpler. Replacing a battery used to be a 10 minute job and with any ingenuity you could make almost any battery work. Now you have to tear out a bunch of crud just to get to it and more crud to remove it. Then you need the exact battery for the application

The tax implications are terrible.

@JustAFlyover Not that tough a decision to make when you didn’t grow much grass but it was not the plan. Shoulder is improving. Thanks

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

It’s been a rough week. Took a nosedive Monday and been hard to sleep on my right side because of my shoulder. No rain and now it looks like the cattle market is going to fall out of bed. Should have sold my calves earlier but didn’t. Liquidating cows really sucks but I’m gonna.

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

The analysis portion is the hard part.

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

High school football I played an odd combo, I played middle linebacker on defense and quarterback on offense. Had to learn to flip a switch between beast mode and calm and analytical. Being an owner operator is much the same. Need to attack the labor and analyze the business.

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

Unreal what a little nosedive can do. Feel like I’ve been hit by a semi. I used to be a Timex, could take a licking and keep on ticking. Now I’m more like a worn out grandfather clock, I creak and groan and complain loudly at least once every hour.

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

@0321nam No, I don’t think it’s too serious, I’m pretty ouchie and moving even slower than usual but I’ll survive. Thanks for your concern.

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

Just jumped down from my skid steer after loading mineral tubs and wedged the toe of my boot between the skid steer and the pallet forks. Busted myself pretty good, landed on my bad shoulder and it’s possible I broke something but probably nothing they can fix so ice it and work.

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

Have had my morning coffee, finished my crossword puzzles for the day and should have my chores done but I have not made it out the door yet. Facing a total lack of motivation this morning but here I go… time to make the donuts.

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

@JustAFlyover Unfortunately probably so. Lol

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

I think I might be half as good once as I ever was.

At least at a few things.😂

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

I use a tank monitor to check my level in a storage tank. The tank and well are about 10 miles away so I run the pump on a timer and monitor the storage. It saves me quite a few miles and I can tell if the pump has started at the correct time. Power outages mess it all up.

[Jimmy McMath @McmathJimmy3]

@KellyFlannery Thanks
