Hello all thought I would post alittle update on how my life and D-day have been going
First off D-day has been working hard carrying me back and forth to work and hauling some sand clay for our driveway nothing dramatic just a ton. D-day 2.0 may not be wheeling but I am thoroughly enjoying the Jeep life I’m just thankful to hop in and drive even if it is to work and back.
I had to go to the research station and run irrigation this morning and it was such a beautiful morning I couldn’t help but snap some pics and have fun editing them
Out watering the hemp along with pumpkins and squash trials

So due to me not being able to really do much with D-day my wife asked me what else would I want to do that would be more justifying than driving 2.5 hours one way to go wheeling each weekend and the fact that I have1 day off per week and I said play paintball.
So after playing a few games I’m in and now am an official magfed paintball player so now I get to drive D-day to go play paintball kinda getting the best of both worlds and I love it good stress relief from all my work days.
Here’s my new to me First Strike T15

Last but not least I finally made progress on my wood shift knobs and applied the epoxy coating on them it will take roughly 3 days to fully cure till then I’ll be picking out some paracord

I know it’s long but I wanted to make this special post I’m very thankful for all of y’all in this community just like my other family no matter what and I currently have a lot going on in my life due to my mom and dad(stepdad) both being diagnosed with Covid and me having to work farm little more and my state job so I’m just hanging on for the ride and staying strong for my family.
Cheers

It’s pretty demanding this is the second year for the hemp and it’s bigger from last year and the pumpkins and squash are a disease trial for new fungicides. We also have carrots for a disease trial as well pretty neat stuff I enjoy it.
Also thank you we’re in good spirits.

Those shift knobs are looking good.

Any day you can drive your jeep is a good day. When you can go wheeling it is great, but when life gets in the way, just take what you can get.

Best wishes for your parents, and good luck with the farming.

What's a disease trial?

So one of our researchers is a pathologist that studies pathogen born diseases in plants and this squash pumpkin trial is for powdery and downy mildew. I’m not sure what disease they are studying in the carrots but when I find out I’ll let ya know. They also study disease’s in other commodities like melons, lettuce, carrots, etc.
