Wow.. did the GOP do good last night or what...???

Not wanting to make this a political site.. but my goodness, hasn't the GOP done quite well in presenting their side of the debate? Great great speeches, and attitude over the top. Guess one thing is for sure, kind of like football on the first day of training where the coach holds up a football and makes the grand statement... this is a football.... We are much better than on Sept 12th! And seem to be getting better with some great leadership at the top! Arnold's speech said it all!!! and said it very very well!
OK.. enough...

Update on Dad...

I wanted to share that since Sunday Dad has been having severe back pains. He ended up in the hospital ER... Monday night.. Jake there about 1 in afternoon.. so two in one day...
Dad is having some problems with bowels working and the terrible pain in his back that hurts him almost all the time. Yesterday morning he was alert and wanting to still go for rides, but was having lots of pain still. Will try to keep everyone updated on his progress.
Mom is doing ok, just busy as can be, quilting, sewing, and lots of other things at home to keep her busy, plus worrying about me and the farm, and ........... well, you know mom's!

Jake's Ophs..... in Tractor vs. Dodge Dually Truck

Jake's Ophs..... in Tractor vs. Dodge Dually Truck, Starring Jake Moffat, we can see what effects the speeding truck had on the turning tractor... Jake was turning into the driveway of the Shultz Ranch where he works, across the street from his Grandma Moffat's home place, with his hand out signaling a left turn.. he was headed south, pulling a John Deere brushhog that he had just mowed the roadside with, when a 2000 Dodge Dually with a 20 year old driver, going at a fast rate of speed, topped the hill and decided he could not stop, so he tried to pass Jake on the 'LEFT" of all places... well, tractor turns over upside down and lands on Jake's grandmothers side of the road, jake goes flying through the air and lands unconcious, and the Dually ends up on the Shultz Side of the road in the Shultz pasture. The mircale of this is... in almost every type of accident of this type, small tractor roll over happening fast, the driver gets pinned underneath the tractor and is usually dead. Our neighbor Nathan Payne, barber who cuts Dad's hair sometimes, son, Puddin.. drove the ambulance and was on the seen quickly, telling Jake when he heard the call come in, he remembered Jake was working for the Shultz Ranch and it was just across from Jake's Grandma's. He said something just told him to hurry cuz it could be Jake... Jake says " It was really awesome to open my eyes and see Pudding standing there to help me! He did an Awesome Job! I was on way to the hay field of our just south of where this happened, but for the first time since 1963, I went down the road a mile east, or else I would have come upon this... and probably would not have been much good to anyone!!! The album of the damage will be posted shortly on the left in photos links.
