The Bull
-------------------------

A man took his wife to the rodeo and one of the first exhibits they stopped at was the breeding bulls.

They went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said,

"This bull mated 50 times last year." The wife playfully nudged her husband in the ribs and said, "He mated 50 times last year."

They walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said, "This bull mated 120 times last year. " The wife gave her husband a healthy jab and said, "That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him."

They walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, in capital letters, "This bull mated 365 times last year." The wife, so excited that her elbow nearly broke her husband's rib, said, "That's once a day.You could REALLY learn something from this one."

The husband looked at her and said, "Go over and ask him if it was with the same cow."

Happy Day Off LSU!

good morning Native and thanks.

Dry enough to mow?   We are supposed to go to the coast tomorrow but weather is questionable down there for Saturday.

Most of my place still has standing water, my moms place is much better off in places but the guy she hired to cut her place charged 500.00 and only got half of it cut before the two week deluge came and he has 40 yards he is behind on so I might try to get some of the remains pieces cut this morning before the afternoon rains come today. I was really hoping the guy would work out and save me the trouble but I think it's to much for him to handle also, very hard to find someone willing to cut 30 acres at a decent price.
