Feb. 22 is George Washington’s birthday. \u00a0In the year 2020, it is also the actual start of National FFA week. According to book face, some chapters were celebrating FFA week from the 15th to the 22nd. \u00a0But, the national FFA website says that it is the 22nd to the 29th. \u00a0Which is right?<\/p>\n
Technically, FFA week is the week from Saturday to to the following Saturday that encompasses George Washington’s birthday. \u00a0With the 22nd falling on a saturday, both are kind of right. \u00a0However, the national FFA website says it is FEb. 22 to 29, that is when it SHOULD be.<\/p>\n
The Woodward District Jr. Livestock Show begins today. \u00a0The Ag Mechanics show is setup and their are tables loaded with prizes for the winners. \u00a0We have outstanding support for their contests and it will continue to grow. \u00a0Barrows show Sunday, gilts monday then sheep on Tuesday and goats on Wednesday. \u00a0Cattle are the following Monday. \u00a0District shows are when it gets serious for me. \u00a0I don’t get pumped for jackpots, I hate locals and could care less about a county show.<\/p>\n
Speaking of beginning, our favorite son is now beginning a new chapter in his life. \u00a0As of Friday, Feb. 21, Duke was sworn in to the United States Marine Corp. \u00a0He made this decision and is following through with it. \u00a0He had mentioned this several times over the past year. \u00a0He did not enjoy college. \u00a0He turned down a job with Ditch Witch in order to make this decision. \u00a0We are extremely proud of him. \u00a0We support this decision. \u00a0And yet, there is a knot in the gut. \u00a0He will leave in a couple of weeks for sunny San Diego. \u00a0Although, I don’t think that he will be going there to enjoy the nice climate.<\/p>\n
Ol George Washington made a name for himself through military duty. \u00a0That is how it began for him. \u00a0What do you reckon George would think of the jackass political scene that we currently enjoy in these United States of America?<\/p>\n

Have a good one. \u00a0Here’s to horseshoes and shamrocks for all of us. \u00a0And now, the phrase Semper Fi takes on a stronger meaning here at the Kelln Kompound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
