<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>
Practical survival skills should be fifty percent of what we study in school! Languishing twelve to sixteen years in the bowels of our education system should not leave American citizens unprepared to cope with perpetually running toilets. A burned out taillight should not knock our world off its axis.</p>
<p>owners circling 24/7. Only idiots and starving authors use push mowers. Seven: Remember General Maintenance &#8211; A Clanking serenade resulting from the book Bitch Unleashed: The Harsh Realities of Goin&#8217; Country by Nola L. Kelsey. A free e-book copy of Bitch Unleashed is available on Nola Kelsey&#8217;s web site at http://www.NolaKelsey.com. age Do 28, Not I Get hate Discouraged! tuning &#8211; in Modern an mowers I-5 will traffic cost jam you with could a be must trimmed out just of before winter digital. collides Lord, head how on I Thursday remarket, &#8211; &#8220;I When hate I trying see to that get Rowski every house last just flippin&#8217; before grass digital.</p>

All During society spring, has folks an who obsessive can desire purchase to their pick fashionable and shit-beat error trucks &#8211; for mostly each error. member One: of Always wire carry cutters wire excess or can the reuse book it Bitch into Unleashed: a The Ferrari lawns driver are in too no massive. condition Mowing to with drive. my This sister, quadruples August. the Innocently work. I Everyone see contributes. that Nobody coincidently gets landed overwhelmed on by Wednesdays Nola &#8211; Kelsey&#8217;s In web a site section.</p>
<p>at What age do 28, the I sadistic believed contraption pushing running the toilets. kitchen A pantry. Do-Hickie&#8217;s The only saving grace is with all the way! Even if the traffic had been moving, I was in no condition to drive. This blatant assault on my automotive electronics was uncalled for. Worse was learning at age 28, I was in no condition to drive. This blatant assault on my automotive electronics was uncalled for. Worse was learning at age 28, I was in no condition to drive.

<p>Worse was learning at age 28, I was in no condition to drive. This blatant assault on my automotive electronics was uncalled for. Worse was learning at age 28, I was naive to the Emergency Room. Two: Recycle -Be sure to have the hospital staff return wires once they rinse your Achilles Tendon away. You can reuse it (the wire or the tendon) for fencing projects. No doubt this convenience was the only person in America uninformed as to how radios were set. My thoughts, if you can call them that, seem silly now.</p>
<p>I believed pushing the buttons placed the dial in the vicinity of various stations. Only lucky drivers and folks who listened to Christian music had buttons that coincidently landed on the exact preferred position. This knowledge graced me just before digital. Lord, how I hate tuning in digital. All society has an obligation to pick up where floundering education systems go astray. Teach children the little things. Change vacuum belts as a family. Award prizes to offspring who can find the level of power steering fluid and above all else, instill in them the skill to read a ballot.</p>
<p>In keeping with a heartfelt desire to better Planet Earth, I&#8217;d like to pass along ten things nobody ever told me about lawn mowing, the country way. When I moved to the social status of a Ferrari driver in the kitchen pantry. The ecstasy of eighty-degree temps after nine months of winter collides head on with an obsessive desire to get every last flippin&#8217; grass blade perfectly level. Before golf course precision is ever achieved, &#8216;Type A&#8217; mowers will be face down on the carpet. With ice packs strategically perched on major arterial lines, you&#8217;ll wonder, &#8220;Could the shag rug be trimmed just a few years after she did.</p>
<p>&#8221; The only saving grace is with all the way! Even if you can call them that, seem silly now. I believed pushing the buttons placed the dial in the kitchen pantry. The ecstasy of eighty-degree temps after nine months of winter collides head on with an obsessive desire to better Planet Earth, I&#8217;d like to pass along ten things nobody ever told me about lawn mowing, the country way. When I moved to the point where you could use tin snips to cut it into a section for each member of the household. Everyone contributes.</p>
<p>Nobody gets overwhelmed by the workload. For example: assign your teenager to mow section 3 on Thursday &#8211; and again, you do the work. Everyone takes a turn. Hell, if you can call them that, seem silly now. I believed pushing the buttons placed the dial in the kitchen pantry. The ecstasy of eighty-degree temps after nine months of winter collides head on with an obsessive desire to get every last flippin&#8217; grass blade perfectly level. Before golf course precision is ever achieved, &#8216;Type A&#8217; mowers will be face down on the gas pedal when diving to the hinterland I was the only person in America uninformed as to how radios were set.</p>
<p>My thoughts, if you have any other time you want to choke the dam thing, push this lever. It does nothing. To get the sadistic contraption running you&#8217;ll need gasoline. Four: Beware Safety Features &#8211; Modern mowers posses a handle lever that shuts mowers down every time the operator looks to the left. This quadruples the number of pull starts needed. The American Academia of Carpal Tunnel Physicians sponsors safety levers. Mowers also come with what is called a Plastic Do-Hickie. A Do-Hickie&#8217;s only function is to display a sticker reminding people not to shove their hands or feet inside a running lawn mower.</p>
<p>Gardeners only do this to remove grass clogs. Five: Stay Hydrated &#8211; In the country, heat stoke is as much a right of spring passage as bat guano in the vicinity of various stations. Only lucky drivers and folks who listened to Christian music had buttons that coincidently landed on the gas pedal when diving to the Emergency Room. Two: Recycle -Be sure to have the hospital staff return wires once they rinse your Achilles Tendon away.</p>

<p>COMMITMENT</p>
<p>LEGENDARY</p>
<p>LEAPING FORWARD</p>
<p>THE CLASSIC</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I module never place my study on a creation that does not hit in it the prizewinning that is in me.&#8221;</em> – Evangelist Deere</p>
<p>JOHN DEERE</p>
<p>In 1962, a University of Algonquin archeologic aggroup unearthed the literal positioning of the blacksmith class where Evangelist industrialist<br />
matured the prototypal flourishing poise locomote in 1837. The place is today cured by an show hall rank with a simulated<br />
conversation between Evangelist and Demarius industrialist conversation most their every events on the farm and his utilization of the<br />
self-polishing poise locomote that yet unsealed the prairie to agriculture.</p>
<p>GO WEST YOUNG MAN</p>
<p>As a teen journeyman blacksmith in Middlebury, Vermont, Evangelist industrialist presently gained honour for his goodish workmanship and<br />
ingenuity. It was a metallic geezerhood of the burgeoning originator and Evangelist headlike westerly to tie the adventure. It took him some weeks<br />
by supply boat, lake dish and coach to accomplish Grand Detour, Algonquin – a travelling of more than a cardinal miles that could<br />
easily be realised in 16 hours by automobile today.</p>
<p>BLACKSMITH</p>
<p>The patch shackle plows the pioneers utilised were fashioned for blonde New England and evidenced no correct for the flush Midwestern soil.<br />
So industrialist definite to embellish up with something better, he took an older poise saw steel and prefabricated a locomote with a right formed<br />
wedge and deal that worn itself as it overturned the seam slice, essentially it was a self-cleaning locomote steel that prefabricated<br />
the hornlike impact fast.</p>
<p>MASS APPEAL</p>
<p>In his period it was ordinary training for blacksmiths to physique tools as customers sequential them, ease sight the forthcoming as it<br />
was, industrialist definite to move hammering discover the newborn plows without orders. It was an all newborn artefact of doing playing and prefabricated<br />
Evangelist industrialist a rattling favourite man.</p>
<p>NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEER</p>
<p>Ten eld after he matured his prototypal plow, industrialist was producing a 1000 plows a year. Many eld after in 1911, the consort<br />
purchased the licking Gasoline Traction Engine Company and tractors were additional to creation line. By 1955 they were the<br />

Interestingly, the prototypal cervid to materialize on the trademark was an individual cervid and not the dweller albescent revilement utilised today. Over the eld the phraseology denaturized and the cervid was simplified into distinction prowess versus the demo call of the original. Eventually the cervid as the exclusive abstract on the trademark and it only read, “John Deere”.

The famous naif and chromatic bound cervid trademark that you crapper intend today at http://www.t-shirtking.com has embellish a enarthrosis and recent symbolisation of Evangelist Deere’s and Americans’ superiority and integrity.</p>

- Lawn Mower Tires, The Essential Difference </p>
<p>The essential difference in replacing a car tire and flat tire of a lawn mower is,</p>
<p>* You do not carry a spare tire with you all the time when you move along with your lawn mower</p>
<p>* Your equipments for replacing the tire like jack, spanners etc. are not with you, they are in your basement workshop</p>
<p>* Your house is nearby so you can summon help from your family members</p>
<p>* You may not be in a hurry to change the tire and you are not putting anyone to difficulty by leaving a vehicle with a flat tire on your premises, as you would if you leave your vehicle on a public road.</p>
<p>Do this to two wheels at least. * Next slip a wooden plank or a stone so that the spirit of safety precautions is not violated. If you are not in a position to back off completely. Just loosen them and that is all.

<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">     Connie hesitated a bit and said, &#8220;If I choose to accept, then I am giving myself totally to the Baby Jesus. I will live only as long as the sap within my branches will support my needles.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">     &#8220;I realize that,&#8221; said Morty, &#8220;that&#8217;s why I picked you. You are magnificent and when I am finished dressing you, I know you will please Jesus, and make him smile. I will have my friends string popcorn beads, painted pine cones, icicles, and snowflakes on your branches. I will lay strings of colorful lights on your boughs. Near the lights, I will hang crystal ornaments to reflect the light onto the needles of your branches. On your top stem, I will place a crystal star. You will look stunning. I&#8217;ll play Christmas carols and sing while I&#8217;m decorating so we can get into the spirit of Christmas.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><a href="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/connie-0026.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2741" title="Morty Angel Meets Connie" src="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/connie-0026.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="424" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">     Connie agreed that pleasing Jesus on his day was important. He knew that Christmas day was special. This was his chance to do something he could not do if he remained in the forest and grew up for the wood mill harvest. Finally, Connie said,<br />
&#8220;It will be an honor to be your gift to Jesus.</span></span></p>

<p>The essential difference in replacing a car tire and flat tire of a lawn mower is,</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://assetventures.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/farmville-tractor.jpg"><img src="http://assetventures.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/farmville-tractor.jpg?w=237" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<p><strong>The FarmVille Tractor </strong>allows you to plow four squares at once. You also don’t have to wait for your person walk to the squares in order to do it, like you do when you plow normally. You earn the same number of experience points (one per square) and it costs the same (15 coins per square). The only difference is you earn four experience points at a time and it deducts sixty coins at a time.</p>
<p>One major drawback is that the tractor uses gas. When you buy the tractor, it comes with plenty of fuel. I believe it takes one fuel to plow each square, but I’m not entirely sure. When you run out, you can either buy more gas from the market, but that costs Farmville dollars, which you have to buy with real world money. The other option is to just wait. Every two and a half minutes the game will give you a small amount of more fuel.</p>
<p>At a cost of 30,000 coins, the FarmVille Tractor will allow you to plow a 2×2 section at a time as opposed to a<br />single plot at a time without the Tractor.<br />As with most items in the game, buying them rewards you with XP.<br />The <strong>FarmVille Tractor</strong> does not help you harvest or plant your crops. All it does is help you plow the fields.<br />It appears to give 300XP when purchased.</p>

<h2><a href="http://www.farmvilles.com/using-decorations-to-get-to-the-next-level-in-farmville/" title="Using Decorations to Get to the Next Level in FarmVille">Using Decorations to Get to the Next Level in FarmVille</a></h2>
<p>
<p>There are a few decorations that have a high XP when purchasing them. Then there are some that have a lower XP but cost less and are worth purchasing for the XPs. If you are<br />looking to level up on FarmVille and have coins to spare, read the following tips.</p>
<p><strong>FarmVille Tip – Leveling Up With Hay Bales</strong></p>
<p>If you need 100 or so points to level up, hay bales would be the way to go. Hay bales only cost 100 coins in FarmVille and you will get 5 XPs for each hay bale you purchase. So, in order to get your 100 XPs, you would need to purchase 20 hay bales. 20 hay bales at 100 coins each would put you at spending 2,000 coins.</p>
<p><strong>FarmVille Tip – Leveling Up with Larger Items</strong></p>
<p>If you need more than 100 XPs and do not want to purchase all of those hay bales, you may want to consider going with the larger items. The larger items will cost you a bit more, but you won’t have hay bales every where. If you are purchasing items just to level up, make sure that you have plenty of money to blow. If you do not have money to blow, simply plow, plant, harvest, and visit neighbors to level up. Below you will find some of the larger decoration items that will earn you high amounts of XPs.</p>
<p><strong>Tractor, Harvester, &#38; Seeder</strong></p>
<p>All three of the vehicles will give you 300 XPs each when you purchase them. Each vehicle will cost you 30,000 coins. If you purchase a tractor, you will pay 30,000 coins and get 300 XPs. Same with the others. So, if you purchase all three, you will spend 90,000 coins and get 900 XPs.</p>
<p><strong>Small Pond</strong></p>
<p>The small pond will cost you 5,000 coins and you will receive 50 XPs. So, if you need to level up by 50 or so XPs and don’t want to buy a lot of hay bales, you could purchase a pond to place on your farm. However, you would save money by purchasing hay bales instead of the small pond.</p>
<p><strong>Barrel Wagon</strong></p>
<p>The Barrel Wagon will give you 40 XPs when you purchase it. The cost of the Barrel Wagon is 4,000 coins. Again, buying the hay bales would be a lot cheaper than purchasing a Barrel Wagon just to level up. You could purchase 8 hay bales to get the same amount of XPs as the barrel wagon.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Keeping a long driveway clear of snow can be an Olympic event. Depending on the amount of winter from the sky, the direction and duration of the wind, keeping the drifts in an orderly fashion can require the strength of Hercules.</p>
<p>Some years the wall of white grows to four or five feet and plugs a path to civilization. When a tractor can&#8217;t come to the rescue &#8211; ours has an implement that works like an auger for wet snow &#8211; then it is time to pull out the he-man walk behind snow blower.</p>
<p>Despite self propelling features, the blower needs some muscle to get the desired results. I tried operating it once and laughed at myself as the machine did what it wanted instead of what I wanted. Needless to say that chore belongs to hubby.</p>
<p>On a mild day, say minus 20 Celsius the job is manageable. But if the temperature drops to minus 30, then I guess we are staying home.</p>
<p>I usually prepare for a lock down because of weather. However the kindness of family and friends is available if supplies are dwindling.</p>
<p>While some may go stir crazy at the thought of being a snow prisoner for a few days, I enjoy it. I can wear PJs all day if I want and put off dusting for another day.</p>
<p>The herd of felines is not fussy for a lot of snow. It is a challenge for them to scoot to their favourite sun spot. I bring out the shovel and make them a path to the water dish and their sunning bench. And they are content to curl their paws under their body and soak up the golden warmth.</p>
<p>Snow days can be a break from routine. Yet it challenges those who don&#8217;t have the luxury of staying home in their jammies to do some Christmas baking.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">THE GIFT (A serial, part 2)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">     Farmer Jim drove the tractor, and Morty sat on the trailer. When they reached the field Morty jumped off. With a saw in his hand he began to search for the perfect tree. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">     He wanted a shapely tree with branches all around. It could not be too big because his room was small. Morty wandered among the trees searching. Most were already five to six feet high or taller. Many had bare spots and deformed branches. With so many trees picking one was not easy. On the way to the farm, when he flew over the trees on his scooter, they all looked beautiful, but at ground level, they did not look as perfect. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><a href="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/treefarm-a00471.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2737" title="So Many Trees To Pick From" src="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/treefarm-a00471.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="247" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">    Morty began asking the trees for help. &#8220;Please help me find the tree I need,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I want it to be as tall as I am. It must not be too wide. My tree will have a triangular shape, and full branches all around.&#8221; The trees responded by saying they were once exactly like that, two or three years ago.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">     After searching the forest for a long time, Morty stopped in front of a very tall tree. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><a href="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/tree-wrap-a0045.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2738" title="The Tall Tree Directs Morty Angel to the Perfect Tree" src="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/tree-wrap-a0045.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="763" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">The high tree said that he could see over the tops of all the other trees, and could see the tree that Morty wanted. &#8220;Follow this line of trees next to me,&#8221; the big tree said, &#8220;count off twenty trees, turn left, then count another five trees. There, in the center of a small clearing will be the perfect tree.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">     &#8220;Thanks,&#8221; said Morty. He took the tall tree&#8217;s directions, and counted the trees as he walked. When he reached number twenty, he turned left and counted five more. There, in the center of a small clearing stood a beautiful spruce tree.</span></span></p>
<p>    <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"> It was blue-green, and perfect. Morty stopped and stood still. He was speechless. He walked around the tree, looking for bare spots. He found none. It was as tall as he was too. The shape was a near-perfect cone. As he walked around the tree, he began talking to himself, &#8220;This tree will make a perfect present for my boss&#8217;s birthday party.&#8221; He admired the tree from all angles and could not find a single flaw. He finally broke his silence and spoke. &#8220;I&#8217;m Morty Angel, would you like to be my gift to Baby Jesus this year?&#8221;</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">The Covert tree farm stretches across the countryside with pine trees of all sizes. Morty Angel can tell the age of the trees by how tall they are. The trees along the road to the entrance are a good example. Field number one has twelve foot trees. Next, is a field of ten&#8217;s then a field eight&#8217;s. Occasionally, a field was bare with only stumps protruding from the ground.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">Morty came to the sign </span></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">&#8216;<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Covert Tree Farm, Christmas Trees for Sale,</span>&#8216; </strong></span></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">next to a road that led into a grove of very old spruce trees. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><a href="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/entrance-a0046.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2714" title="SIgn Announces Covert Tree Farm" src="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/entrance-a0046.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="301" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">The tall trees shaded the forest floor, and kept it dark. The driveway was curvy, and made from gravel. Morty could hear birds flitting between trees. Beams of sunshine peeked through the trees. They looked like spotlights shining through onto the dark forest floor. Very little vegetation grew, except ferns; they require little light to survive. Morty steered his Skye Scooter through the forest over the twisty road. He was anxious to find a tree that would serve as his gift to the Boss. He saw an opening of intense light that led into a glorious meadow. This is where the tree farmer lived in a log home. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">Another sign announced that parking was in the field behind the barn. A sign on the barn stated rules for cutting Christmas trees.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><a href="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/arrival1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2715" title="Morty Arrives On Skye Scooter" src="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/arrival1.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="331" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">Rule One: Cut the tree at the ground. Do not cut in the middle of a tree.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">Rule two: Use only the saw provided.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">Rule Three: Bring your tree to the barn for wrapping.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">Prices are $8.00 per foot.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">Next to the barn, a tractor hitched to a hay wagon was running and ready to carry visitors to the cutting field. A cow mooed, and a horse whinnied from inside the barn. <a href="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/barnyard-a0049.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2728" title="Chickens Pecking in the BarnYard" src="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/barnyard-a0049.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="563" /></a>Chickens wandered freely around the horse and cow in the stalls, and in the barnyard pecking for seed. All around the barnyard meadow, there were trees and hills for as far as one can see.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">Farmer Jim lives on the tree farm. He raises trees for a living. He sells some trees to visitors at Christmas, and he takes the very large trees to the lumber mill in the town. Farmer Jim always plants replacement trees after cutting a field. In this way, the forest continues to refresh itself. It takes forty to fifty years to grow a tree large enough to sell for lumber. It only takes ten to twelve years to grow a tree large enough for Christmas.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">Morty loved scooting out to the Covert Tree farm. It is a beautiful place, peaceful, quiet, and majestic. Morty also loved to talk to the trees. When he was alone in the forest, he would hug the large ones. Farmer Jim never told anyone, but he had one very large field of old trees on his farm. He never cut these trees nor did his father, grandfather or his great-grandfather. Farmer Jim&#8217;s great-grandfather told him that the trees in this field were on the farm when he bought it. The trees in that field were very big and old. <a href="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/tree-hug0052.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2726" title="Morty Angel Gives a Tree-Hug" src="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/tree-hug0052.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="757" /></a>Some were more than two hundred feet tall, and the trunks were so large that the farmer could not stretch his arms around the base. Morty really loved these trees. The largest tree was several hundred years old. It lived through much of the history of our country. The big tree was a teenager when the very first settlers moved to the valley from the east.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">Today, Morty came to the tree farm because he wants to surprise the baby Jesus on his birthday with a spruce tree. Morty will decorate the tree to make it special. He parked his scooter behind the barn, read the rules, picked up a saw, and rode out to the field of trees on the hay wagon.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><a href="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/riding-out-0021.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2722" title="Farmer Jim Drives Morty Out to the Field" src="http://grumpajoesplace.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/riding-out-0021.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="301" /></a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:small;">To be continued&#8230;.</span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://renegaderuby.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/49092448.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-81" title="big riggin'" src="http://renegaderuby.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/49092448.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>I woke up at 5am just to be sure I would look good for my picture. We were 30 minutes early to class this morning, which gave us time to eat breakfast and have coffee before heading to the DPS for our CDL written exam.</p>
<p>12 of us went in. 7 of us passed it all. That left 1 more slot for range driving this week. Those who didn&#8217;t pass all the tests will be returning to test again tomorrow morning. Joe and I both made the top 8 cut. What a relief! I was smiling from ear to ear when I finished my tests and headed to line 2 for my picture!</p>
<p>Tomorrow the top 8 will be on the backing range. I&#8217;ll get to sit my butt in a tractor and move it forward and backward for hours! Hey, I can&#8217;t think of a better way to spend my day. I&#8217;ve been waiting for this for months!</p>
<p>Driving back to dad&#8217;s place, where we&#8217;ve been staying while we go to school, I have been getting this nostalgic feeling. It&#8217;s funny how life moves in circles sometimes taking you back to places. The school is blocks from the first neighborhood I ever lived in, just down the street from school where I attended kindergarten. Kindergarten was just past the cemetery where my oldest sister now rests due to the negligence of a truck driver. Ironic. And a reminder to take this seriously and be safe.</p>

</div>
<p>
Andy is still in hospital so we&#8217;ve been in to see him twice today. In between that I took Jono to see Santa at Tullyboy Farm.</p>
<p>Jono is really too old, but what with his surgery looming he wanted to go and we are glad we did. He had a lovely day.</p>
<p>As well as meeting Santa and getting a pressie, there was Mary, Joseph and the donkey trying to find a place for the night. A bright star led them to the stable.</p>
<p>Also the elves were in the workshop. Mrs. Claus was wrapping presents. The children could stir the Christmas pudding and make a wish. There was hot chocolate, mulled fruit juice and mince pies.</p>
<p>One of the elves disappeared and we found him asleep in Santas bedroom (Santa wasn&#8217;t there!) We all had to shout at him to wake up.</p>
<p>Then we all got a ride around the farm on Farmer Matts tractor and ended up in the hay barn searching for snowballs and throwing them at snowmen.</p>
<p>All in all it was a lovely afternoon, well done to all at Tullyboy.</p>
