Other bajillion and a half details - getting there!
This year I am really excited for the show for few reasons:
1. Keith and Ruthie are coming back - the Bolsens are smart, funny, and wonderful people. They are coming to help in the booth and lend their expertise in silage making and safety. They are bona fide experts. And such a complete joy to be around.
2. New Silostop people - Jennifer from the UK and Jan from Poland are coming to expericence the show, see what is going on here in California and the west.
3. I am taking my banker friend to the show with me on Wednesday. Sheryl doesn't know a tremendous amount about agriculture, and I am going to try to show her (through the thousands of products at the show) the life of a dairy animal from birth to the inevitable end. I can't wait for her to meet the folks we work with and the clients we love, since I yap about them all the time to her.
4. I get to see lots of familiar old faces. People I don't see any other time of year.
Hepped up? You bet! This is going to be fun.
