5 day cleansing detox sessions at $150/session. 14 hour days on a swather with open door air conditioning in 100 degrees.

For the fun of it i weighed myself monday evening about 7pm - 198lbs. started bailing just after 9pm thru 730 am this morning then swathed til 5pm when a nasty wind storm rolled thru. nothing but a gallon jug of water. came home showered, ate, and came in at 176lbs. thats 6 pounds overweight for senior high school wrestling!

too bad more folks couldn't experience an inkling about what goes into beef!

.... any city lurkers interested pm me.
 
If that don't work they can come here for stage 2.

Picking rocks for only $1200 per week. Mosquito slapping exercises are included in the package. :wink:
 
I ain't buying at that price! :lol:

Now... sweeten the pot a little with a 4020 pulling a hay rake and I might think about it. Have to even out my tan, my left arm is considerably darker than my right and some raking might just do the trick. Or I could just shoot down to the beach, work on my tan, enjoy the view and drink an umbrela drink in your honor. Decisions decisions. :wink:

That's their problem GM88... they have all this fancy equipment, it has made them soft. :lol:

About the only tractor work I actually enjoyed was raking hay and we used an open station 4020. I couldn't stand being cooped up inside a cab all day, so when the choice came to do tractor work or mess with the cows, I'd choose the cows.
 
GM88 was that a double post or are you upscale and own two scythes?
:wink:

Well I can raise all of you and offer somewhat shorter hours in an 1105 Massey with a cab that features 2 windows that open not to mention a door that sports an "open brace" for full air flow (plus a bit of dust) or you can drive an open New Holland tractor that offers a completely unrestricted view of the countryside while you work on evening out that tan. . .

Dad tells about how 4 outfits would get together they each had two mower teams and they have 8 mowers cutting meadows at once, then they use sweaps scatter(dump) rakes and overshot stackers and a crew topping the stack with forks, get one place done and go to the next.

There's a truth to that and it doesn't bother me bit. :wink:

I still have vivid memories of 1989, the last year I baled with an open station Case 1210 and an 847 NH baler. Hand crank tie!
One meadow had windrows 1/2 mile long laying east and west. Going west was great, nice breeze, enjoy the surroundings. Before I turned east I would don a set of goggles and a face mask for the dust. We had a stretch of good weather and I baled 1875 bales in 12 days out of that boat anchor... couldn't straighten my neck for a month.

Ahhh, the good ol' days. :roll:

I don't take the cold as well as I used to either. :lol:
