Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

[Mike CHS]

That's about it Bruce. I was told that a tedder works as well as long as the cut grass isn't too thick but I don't have or need one and didn't want to borrow one. In case you aren't familiar with that it's a machine used in haymaking and is used after cutting and before windrowing. It uses moving forks to aerate or "wuffle" the grass.

Yep I know about tedders. I've even seen (not personally) a combination tedder rake for the small "farmer" so only one machine purchase is needed for both tasks. Gotta fluff up the cut grass so it can dry rather than laying flat. That is a problem with Al using a sickle bar to mow my field, it lays the tall stuff ( tallest ones are weeds mostly) down flat and it mats and sits there and rots, the grass underneath can't grow. Not a bad mower for my size property if it were going to be baled though.

We are having a cooking day. Teresa made some super good Pancit Chicken for an early lunch and I made a big batch of meatballs that we will freeze and then vacuum seal for pre-cooked meals and then I'm going to grill a batch of chicken thighs for the same reason.

A cooking day is a good day. It's even a better day when you don't have to cook and it is ready for you to eat!

Tennessee Titans just knocked off the Eagles in overtime in one of the better games I've seen so far this season.

A LOT of good games today so far! Cowboys/Lions was close, as was the Bengals/Falcons. Can't believe the final call by the Colts that gave the Texans the game at the end of OT... What was the Colts coach thinking? Really liked that the Bears took care of biz! Browns aren't a fluke either... They are more than most expected this year with Mayfield at QB...

The Titans did 4 (I think) 4th down conversions in their overtime and had it down to less than 20 seconds for the last one..

The Titans are or can be a team to be reckoned with this season. So far this season I've been pretty impressed with how many evenly matched teams there really are. The league has been striving for this for years (20+) and it seems it's nearly there. A lot of decent teams this year. Makes games much more open to go either way and the outcome undetermined until the game is actually played.

We went down to Alabama to pick up another couple of bushels of apples so we had to stop at what is now my favorite place to eat - Pho Nam. We shared their Facebook page with ours the last time we went and since then several other people have done the same so we are hoping they get enough business to do well. Vietnamese food is my favorite and this couple does it perfectly. They spent a lot of time at the table with us looking at pictures and we agreed to bring them some sheep meat the next time we go so they can try it out. They told us what we were eating but I couldn't pronounce it.
