Well its Friday what a busy week off to Manitoba to my favourite winter show. Free no cost no parking cost and really a nice show to see what needed to be seen and visit with fellow farmers. Also had a great week hauling grain. Funny when its warm how much you can get done.

Travel tip is getting a better seat on a plane. Some planes have very tight seat ratios so if you are a bigger person your going to be very uncomfortable sitting for 5 to 7 hours in a cramped seat. When picking seats some times you can get the emergency exit for adults over 16 and they have extra leg room. You cant put children in these seats. Some times they are free when booking but most you have to pay extra. If your bigger pay the extra.
On our Hawaii flights if we all four are going on same plane we do inside and end, leaving the middle third seat empty. This year we were ahead of rush for Christmas so no one sat in middle seat very nice roomy flight. It doesn't work all the time some times you get chatty Andy or big charley.
One side note most airlines are going away from TVs and have wireless for that so strait using their app to your iPad or what ever. Check before you fly as cant add app once loose cell coverage. But they can rent you a iPad.
Bitch of the day is pricing of peas. Being told cant get $8.50 just cant put in a target yea thats one BS program. Now the buyer is dropping and picking up bids at $7.90 looks like the games never ends. Peas have no real market just some Assholes who get farmers to guess where they want to be using the useless targets. Then its like shooting fish in a barrel. Pick the low end guys and Sooner or later the tops get nervous and settle lower. Ah what marketing.
