Not a lot going on this week. Actually every week for the next couple of months will be pretty close to the same for me, school, work, football. That is pretty much all I do.  Football this year is going to be interesting, we only have ten players and only a few skill players which means we are pretty thin in the ball handling department.  We are having trouble practicing because of the so few players. It is hard to do hitting drills because when you don't have very many players you hit over and over again which is bad because it makes it easier to get guys hurt. Actually, our running back broke his collarbone just last week during a hitting drill. Not only are hitting drills tough but normal practice, like when we are just running through plays, is hard because we don't have enough players to have an offense and a defense which means we are just playing against air. It makes it hard to want to go full speed and give it your all when there is nothing to motivate you.
When I'm not playing football or doing school I'm at work and I don't get to work near as much as I would like to but I do when I can.  Right now we are just finishing up baling prairie hay and the third cutting of alfalfa we just have to finish hauling it all back to the farm. Which is a fun job or at least I think it is, especially when it is hot. Hauling hay involves sitting in a air conditioned cab with a radio and shifting gears. The hardest thing to do is get out and unhook and hook up the hay trailers. We are also getting close to gearing up for fall harvest. It is still a few weeks out but we are all looking forward to it. With all of the rain we had this year and a lot of it coming at very key times during the corn and bean growth cycles this years fall harvest is hopefully going to be really good. We are trying not to count our chicks before they hatch however.
