Greetings from Capps. Thank the good Lord for some cooler, dryer weather. I've been finishing up my second cut of hay so it's been nice working weather. I may have some available bales this weekend if I can get them done. They'll still be $5 each for now but will go up a buck next time due to being so labor intensive. Our new baby goat kid, Lil' Baby, is growing like a weed and jumping around all over the place. Capps Batavia Fire Department had our monthly training meeting last Monday night and we cleaned the station and the trucks top to bottom in preparation for our upcoming inspection. Since Diversified Services closed, I've been taking Emergency Medical Technician training at Northark so you may see me working on an ambulance someday, who knows? Blessings, Doug more
