Friday thank you notes

[walterm]

That one right there nearly makes me go postal! Happened in 2016 as well. Leaches phoning telling me I need to order and pay right away because its a great deal and prices are going up. FML! Like 2016 I'm struggling to get the current years crop off the field, and you're already harassing me about inputs for next year? GO GET BENT!

But yes.

Thank you to my wife and kids who manage to make me smile even as i pace from window to window uttering obscenities as I look at the snow and wonder what has happened to the sun.

Thank you to neighbors who have a coffee pot always on and try to make each other laugh.

Thank you to my liver for not giving up on me!

Thank you to the weather man for always hanging that carrot a week out. Good god, it looks like they might finally be right this time though. Was on the computer I have in the shop the other day and the last time I reloaded env canada's site was last saturday. It said 30% chance of showers on monday, with plus 5-10 temperatures and sunshine the remainder of the week. If it wasn't so sad it'd damned near be funny. Monday through tuesday ended up delivering a hearty 6-8" of wet sloppy snow, and the remainder of the week gave dreary cloud filled days of 0 to +3.

Thank you Bucket, for the friday Thank you's.

Can you imagine what environment Canada would have forecast if Harper hadn't given them almost 80 mil to give us better forecasts. With no checks and balances or repercussions in place of course for being totally wrong.

If that cash went to revamping their super computers to generate the GDPS and RDPS models, it was a waste of cash. Those models have been the most consistently wrong out of all of them IMO this year.

other than the local JD for free coffee on their overpriced parts.... Pattison can afford FREE coffee, if gouging elsewhere!

Oh yes, meteorologist, only occupation where you get PAID even if 100% wrong! What a plumb job!

Absolutely agree if not for wife and sons, I would be far away from 93% done, wheat all dried, 90 acres canola to go....
Thank you for almost no snow, but our turn, we got F'd one spring, 18" when almost none of you saw snow.

A change is on our doorstep after one last kick in the nuts 🥜 , thanks Mother Nature.
Thanks for finally getting my hot water working after 7 days of cold showers
Thanks to RUH for getting my Mom back in shape and safely home yesterday.
Thanks for leaving one field of wheat standing from relentless snow the past month that we actually finished last night .
Thanks for finally getting enough grain off to fill our Sept contracts .
Thanks to Arctic Therm heaters for doing there job drying 2 , 5000 bus hoppers at a time each , kept us moving in the field when possible...... without burning any propane ,gas or diesel. Those flameless heaters do as advertised 👍
Even though it snowed again hard Sunday , it was a better week. Let’s hope we all get at least two weeks of better weather now that the jet stream is moving 👍👍. .... after 6 weeks

Nice not to have to worry about gas , diesel or propane burners at all with these ...

They run on liberal promises? In this country we obey the laws of thermodynamics. Where does the energy come from?

[Crazyharrows]

What does it run on?

[saskshafe]

So the heat doesn’t magically appear. Do you have any idea what it is costing to dry your grain. Looks like a neat safe system.
Our propane is costing around $0.09/bus. Removing 4.5-5 %. No idea on the power bill.
