Mira of Kyiv 🇺🇦@reshetz.bsky.social · 2d agoGuys as I sit in a 15 hour blackout I’m launching a fundraiser with Dzygas Paw for drones for our defenders. The drones go boom on the occupiers and film it. My goal is $10,000 Will really appreciate any help and have a great day!! dzygaspaw.com/mira-for-wol...
Just another day driving a grain truck 2 years younger than me ten miles round trip at 40mph with 530 bushels of corn each round. I’m tired, yo.
Not really. It’s not enough. Retirement at 65, like an airline pilot. Much shorter terms….maybe 12. And increase the size of the court. 13 would be a bare minimum. Would rather it be much higher.

Sure would be nice to be one of those rich grain farmers Farming While Beige always talks about. Instead, I have this 50 year old bin with a cracked concrete floor you can never really get all the moldy corn out of. And my pickup truck is 10 years old and rusty. 🤷🏻♂️
Tried a new(ish) restaurant tonight. It was very full. On a Thursday night. Yes, our bill was $86 (we had fancy cocktails which was $30 of that, eeek). Social media keeps saying everyone is broke but an expensive place packed on a Thursday night does not meet that. 🤷🏻♂️
Yay. Now a day or two for changeover and then it’s on to the long slog of corn harvest.
As a dedicated clothes chair user i agree

A U.S. envoy calling murderer Putin a humanitarian while visiting him in Kremlin — when after failing to achieve his military goals, Putin directs Ukrainian civilians to be hunted in the streets or executed in their own homes. Kids will read about this one day and ask: what was everyone else doing?
Writing in National Review, Andrew McCarthy makes out the case that Trump's duplicitous dealings with Putin satisfy the statutory requirements for a treason prosecution. And indeed, they do. Which is probably why most of Trump's dealings with Putin are kept under wraps.

Republicans and Democrats, together, should regard this week’s developments as the last straw.

This gets worse and worse and worse. I’m so disgusted by this government squatting in the White House

Took the weekend off of harvesting. The 10 day forecast is dry and sunny which sounds great and also really tiring
If only we had a modern soybean bin. Sigh. Loading soybeans out of our tiny bins, into the grain cart, so we can fill a semi after the rain ends tomorrow or Friday.
Zelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."
Hit a broken field cultivator sweep mostly buried in the ground. I didn’t see it, but the very end sickle bar tooth caught it. I was like oh whew, easy fix, just replace the sickle tooth. Umm. Because it was the very end one it is a special snowflake and here we are trying to remove broken bolts
This afternoon’s Sunday view: harvesting soybeans. You can see the leftovers of the flooded out spot from the summer‘s deluges just ahead of me.
The US announced a deal to import Russian diesel this week, suspending sanctions on those exports until April. We want to speak directly to our supporters in the US and around the world.
For all the good it will do, I actually emailed my congresspeople on the diesel issue. Congress isn’t in session (such a useless Congress) so whatever
A bunch of people followed me after I talked about being pissed about the Russian diesel deal. Then I went off and did farm work for 9 hours. So yes, I’m a row crop farmer in IL. Seemingly the only democratic leaning farmer here.
I just filled a combine and a tractor with over 250 gallons of diesel and I am wildly, vehemently opposed to doing business with Russia for diesel.
