THE KRACKED HEAD UPDATE
“To Build Well – To Deal Square”
Vol. 5, #3
July, 2010
Greetings from North Alabama, I hope this finds you all happy and in good health and enjoying all this hot weather we are having. At the present time here in North Alabama, the temperature is in the nineties with the humidity at about the same level. The air is so thick you have to cut it with a sharp knife just to walk around.
The farmers in our area had a great planting season. The rains abated at the right time in order for them to get the crops planted. One Alabama Cooperative Extension Service agent said the crop forecast was looking up for area farmers.
Agent Mark Hall, who is stationed at the Tennessee Valley Substation in Belle Mina, AL said “Things are off to a good start. The corn, beans and cotton look good and the wheat looks especially good and should be out in the next three to four weeks.”
Cotton is expected to see the largest acreage increase of all state crops this year, according to the USDA’s 2010 Spring Planting Intentions report.

THE KRACKED HEAD UPDATE
“To Build Well – To Deal Square”
Vol. 5, #2
May, 2010
Greetings from North Alabama, I hope this finds you all happy and in good health going into summer.
We got the old Ford to crank and made the run up I-65 to attend the Winter Show and Club meeting in Auburn, Indiana. We had a great turn out of folks and several tractors were displayed. For those of you that missed it, you let another great time slip by you. The facilities were excellent for hosting a winter time show with everything being inside a huge building.
We began with a Thursday evening “Meet & Greet” sponsored by the National Automobile & Truck Museum of the United States (NATMUS). The host committee had a hospitality room setup where they served light snacks and beverages. After visiting the hospitality room you were invited to tour the museum spending as much time as you would like looking at the various vehicles and memorabilia that was display. I can tell you that it was hard to get around and see all of the wonderful toys, cars and trucks that were on display. It was really just great eye candy anywhere you looked.

THE KRACKED HEAD UPDATE“
To Build Well – To Deal Square”
Vol. 5, #1
March, 2010
Greetings from North Alabama, I hope this finds you all happy and in good health going into early Spring. I don’t know about you all, but I’m getting a little tired of the snow, wind and rain we’ve have recently. I realize our snow fall doesn’t match up to what you Northern folks receive, but for us southerners, snow is something we’re not used to. Just recently we received about 4” in one day and they shut schools and businesses down for two days. However, I didn’t miss any time from my job at The Home Depot, that little dab of snow didn’t bother my driving.
Things are going good on the website. As I wrote about in the January newsletter, I closed out the classified section that I was using and integrated the ads into a new format. After working with Kent Rue from up in Columbia Heights, MN, I think we have a pretty good format setup. Since I setup the new format I think Kent has sold one item and I sold an Avery IT Shop manual. So if you have any Avery related items you want to sell, then log on to the website and select “classified ads” from the top menu and fill in the easy to use ad form. You may also upload a picture of your item for sale. And, as always, if you run into a problem I’m just an email away to assist you.
