warning: bad jokes

I have settled into a routine, Monday mornings I help to get work groups set up with their tools and supplies. I will continue to do this until the work camp season slows down at the end of the month. The rest of the week first thing in the morning I usually go to feed grain to the calves and bulls and make sure they have water. After that I have been doing whatever has been needed, water mums, build fence, clear brush, split wood, etc. I am gaining blisters and a farmers tan. Starting this Friday I will begin looking for grants in search of at least one to write for. It will be nice to put some of my social work education to use.

This week I have worked with Ray, he is a local volunteer and we have built some fence and split a lot of wood. Ray has quit smoking, but when he says that he quit I assume he means cigarettes because he still smokes grape flavored swisher sweets, If I have to be a second hand smoker that is my smoke of choice. Ray is funny and has a heavy accent, sometimes hard to understand. He is inventive, he has build his own car from scratch, which he calls his "buggy". I will share two jokes he told me, I don't think I understand them but they are still funny(I give warning that the first one is a bit crude).

Q: What do you get when you cross an ass and an onion?
A: An ass that will make you cry!

Q: What do you call a farmer with a sheep under each arm?
A: A playboy!
