Hi all,
ORIGINAL: Grollub

Good morning friends. Arrived safely.

No puppy pic this time, only a picture of the current proud mother when she was a puppy herself four years ago.

She says "Hi".

Bundeswehr-Video about the Ju 88 that is slavaged off Rügen.

You might notice that some have their names hidden... - well that's necessary in Germany...

Stay safe, and indoors!
Only funnel clouds. It passed just north of town. A few spotty thunderstorms, some hail and wind up and down the valley. Nothing really in town.
A nice diversion at the end of the day.[;)]

Leaving now for a 600 miles long night drive up north in the country. Puppies, here I come! [:)]

See you tomorrow, THREAD brothers.

Aren't you supposed to only make that drive to your folks' place in some God-awful blizzard? [&:][;)]
Yup. I tried waiting for one of the normal July blizzards, but finally lost patience and went anyway.

Swedish Autobahnen, a German's nightmare!
Huge roads, mostly in perfect shape, mostly totally straight and almost no car on them - but you have to drive 120 or 130 km/h... I drove my parent's BMW a few years ago, when we went to my sister's wedding near Linköping. Hundreds of km on the road, feeling neutered...
That's like when I drove from Kentucky through WV to the coast. Emtpy roads, but ze German hat to stay at 75/70 mph. That's the only thing I hate about the US in general, I think...

It should be recognized as a human right to drive as fast as you want on an empty Autobahn! [:@]
Agreed. That's why I normally drive in the night. Have never seen a police car at night, and I know where the speed cameras are ... [;)][8D]

I was in sweden at least 6 times, and I was propably on the roads a few thousand kms - but I've only seen police twice. Sometimes I believed you don't have any at all.

Do you guys sync these things?

Hey Jeff:

USDA corn forecast (particularly for lower MW) is that 30-33% is "poor or very poor" crop this year. Tyson and Pilgrims' Pride have been getting pole-axed. [X(]

In Minnesota, 77% is rated as "good-excellent". Seems like we're it in terms of problem-free production this year. Sorry dude.

We got another series of thunderstorms developing last night. 1-1.5" from 3am-6am. Hope y'all to the south (read: everyone) get some badly needed rain too.

I'm surprised that you're not insinuating that we're getting up together at the same time, Per. [:D]

Aren't you Germans supposed to spend a lot more time on the beaches in Denmark than Sweden? Cheaper beer in the former too, no?

Andre-

Yeah, it isn't looking to wornderful in the dryland areas of Kansas. Our irrigated doesn't look to bad at all. We did get a 2 in rain Monday, but it was about 1-2 weeks too late. The Milo will be great, but the dry land corn and beans are suffering.

You guys have had some very timely rains. It will be a great year to be a Minnesota farmer.

It still sounds like they're over doing how bad it is this year. The majority of people you talk to say the entire US corn crop is 70% G-E. That means $7.50 corn isn't going to last very long. Can you say bubble?
