Long day at the sale

[webfoot]

Last Thursday I hauled in a kill bull and cow for B. Left the house before 9:00. Got to the sale a little before 11:00am. Watched a couple thousand feeders sell. Only got one cow bought at about 7:00pm. They got done with bred cows and started in with kill cows at about 7:10. Dashed to the office to pay up. Went to the brand inspectors for my brand papers. Out to the truck..... they had me blocked in. Finally 45 minutes later the rig behind me moves. I pull around the parking lot to avoid the 5 semis waiting to get loaded. I get around them to find 8 trailers waiting to back in to the one slot to load. I figure at least 10 or 15 minutes per trailer to get loaded. It is dark and raining. It is after 8:00. I say the heck with it, it has been a long day I am going home. The next morning I went back and got my one cow.

That is a long day. I would probably have slept in my pickup. Any more I don't do well with headlights of oncoming traffic.

The older I get the more I hate night time driving. But if I had got in line to get loaded I would have been midnight by the time I got home I just jump on the tail of a semi and follow on their tail.
