Last day I talked to my dad was this day in 2015. Hard to believe 6 years has passed. He had 4 grandkids back then, with 2 more on the way. 12 now. Lost a father, mentor, business partner and friend not long after that. Here’s hoping I can be 1/2 the man he was.

Don’t leave your auger up over night on a bin with a fan on. In other news, the fan is taking moisture out of the bin.

Sobering thought as I work in the field today: no one in the field imagined a world in 10 years where only I was left. Just a reminder you only have one life on earth, so live it well, take time for the stuff that matters. Someday sooner than you think it might be gone. 4/4
