One of those days:
On the tractor at 7:00 AM cutting hay while the dew is on it so it cuts easer.
Busted hitch pin on the cutter by 7:30.
Like to never got un hitched so I could ride the tractor home and leave the cutter in the field.
Called and ordered another pin next day air.
Loaded the welder in the pickup
Went to my shop, ground busted pin, and welded back together.
Went to hay field to reinstall pin.
Hit my hand with a 4-pound sledge while driving in repaired pin.
Went to ER, waited and hour and got three stitches.
Got back in the pickup to go finish repairing hay cutter.
In a hurry by now so I slung the welder out in the middle of the road pulling out of the drive.
Walked to the barn and got a chain to drag welder back up in the yard.
Finished fixing cutter.
Got back in tractor and went to hook up the cutter.
I got lucky as the cutter went on easy.
Finished cutting hay. It was still damp at 2:30 due to a cloudy day.
Fluffed hay that got rained on two days ago.
Raked hay.
Started rolling at 6:00 and as soon as I started to roll we got a very light shower.
Kept rolling as the shower only lasted 5 min.
Girlfriend drives up at 7:00 and starts to chew my butt for having my hand bandaged up and rolling hay.
Finished rolling at 7:45
Fed calves and bulls
Fixed a big strong drink
Got my butt chewed out for getting my stitches wet in the shower.
Made another bigger stronger drink.
And that is the last thing I remember till this morning.
Now today I can fluff the hay I cut yesterday if the due dries off.
 
Sounds like one of those days when you should have started with about item 13:
Fixed a big strong drink

and then moved right on to job #15:

Made another bigger stronger drink.

and continued from there...

:wink: :lol:

I got another .10 of an inch of rain last night- still drizzling a little altho I don't think it will amount to much---total of .4 in two days- :D :clap:

!/2 inch in two days will sure help green the grass and prime the anmosphear. I hope you get more.

I called the Aflac girl and they are going to pay me for the ER and each stich. I love it when I make the duck quack.

Hope you're feeling better this morning, Alabama..........:nod:

Bama, You are working way to hard. YOu need a quite weekend with your girlfriend kissing your booboo.
Let me give you a clue alabama. This above statement by Katrina is a lie. :lol: They "say" you can lay around the house with her kissing the wound. That won't last long then the honey do list comes out. Hanging closet rods, curtain rods, cleaning out from under the stove and behind the refrigerator. Plant a flower bed , mow the yard, paint the porch. Don't fall for it. Go bale hay so you can rest up and get that hand well. :wink:

When I started reading this I thought you were headed somewhere else....with 5 kiddos....thought that might be what caused it!

I never have a honey-do list :wink: :lol: :wink:

'Bama...your gal just loves you and is trying to take care of you! Be careful, she might not keep tending your garden if you're too ornery. Glad you got some hay put up. If we're gonna see a '06 hay crop at this outfit, Red Robin's gonna have to tie it to the top of his van and bring it!

Cheers---

This seems to be a good place for this.


Two guys from Daniels County are quietly sittin' in a boat at Fort Peck, Montana fishing and suckin' down beer when suddenly Karnes says, "I think I'm going to divorce my wife - she hasn't spoken to me in over 2 months."Earl sips his beer and says, "You better think it over - women like that are hard to find."
