Hello

What can I say, I get distracted. I debated ending my blogging career after departing from the great country of Australia, you know go out on top, but I guess I'll be that guy that keeps going way past his prime. If you haven't figured it out yet, I am home from Australia and have been for quite some time now. It has been many moons and even more facial hair looks, or failed attempts at such looks, since I have left and come November 11th Sarah will be here already! At least act excited for me, its kind of a big deal.

So, on to the life updates...

I left working on a farm in Australia to (insert drum roll) work on a farm!!!! Yay me! It is a very interesting story how this came about, and here it goes;

After two weeks of no job and losing my mind of boredom I joking asked my BFF Kami if her dad was hiring, week later I have a job. I told you it was interesting. I work for Minnesota Pork Inc., I don't have a title but I have a box in the office with my name on it, I had papers in it once so what can I say, I am kind of a big deal. (Remember my love of sarcasm) It is a great place to work though and so far I enjoy waking up everyday and going to work which is everything to me.

Everyday is a new thing for me at MPI, I recently just got my class A or truck license so I am able to do just about anything and everything that a farm can throw at me. It also lets me see some pretty cool stuff, for example Hastings Nebraska, if you ever get a chance go there. Actually don't, I'll just tell you about it and save you the drive.

The man, the myth, the legend that is Cesar Larson, owner of MPI (literally a myth and a legend, he travels and works a lot so I have seen him a total of 5 times) also owns a farm in Hastings. It consists of appx. 6 miles of old ammunition bunkers from one of the great wars a believe, Matt was the history major, 4 miles of which have been converted into hog bars and the other 2 is a game farm. Next time I go I will get some pictures to put on here but it was insane, if you stand in the middle all you see either direction is bunkers!

The reason I was down there was to do some excavating, I shouldn't have to tell you how excited that made me. Only bad news, although really not that bad for me, was that we would be fixing sewer lines coming out of the hog bars. In summary, big hole full of poop, empty poop, fix pipes, fill in with dirt, level off with bulldozer and move to the next one. I can safely say I have never been more excited to see poop flow out of a pipe as I was down there because it meant we had our grade in the pipe right so it won't back up again. Kind of like going twosies at your girlfriends and hoping it won't clog for some strange reason, except the other end of the pipe.

Now that it is fall and the crops are coming out we start running 24/6 emptying out the piggy "bi-product" from the barns and putting it in the fields, again only explained with pictures so I'll get on that. Lets move on from poop, makes my job sound fantastic.

What else do I have for ya...

Gopher football. All I can say is AMAZING. Got tickets, have been to every home game so far, lost my voice each time. Go gophers!! Rah!!

I am currently living with my sister in Mankato living the dream. I am very upset because they no longer make Count Chocula cereal, good things the Cap't will be bringing out his christmas music soon. I can't wait for christmas music. I want to ride a bull and/or buck in the rodeo. I ran a 5k for fun with absolutely no training. And I bought a new car.

As I scroll back up I can see that by this point you are either thoroughly bored or thoroughly tired, either way I will end it here.

Hope you are all doing well and go gophers!
