More rain coming

[farmaholic]

Is there any other living that breeds as much animosity, anger and disappointment as grain farming? Those that do it are truly a special kind.

"special" like s l o w learners, or suckers for punishment?

[cottonpicken]

True that farmaholic.It is an act of insanity.

For 4 or more generations the smart ones have left the farm while the optomistic slow learners stay behind and do what we do, can't really get upset at our kids report cards now can we. LOL.
Sorry about the rain guys, its the low areas that got saturated last year that are holding water here, hasn't been enough new moisture to create a problem with 90% of the acres.
Good Luck

Always nice to see everyone nieghbours working in the field planting while I am going to be broke down all day. Ripped front tires off 5440 seed tank yesterday. Its a mess.

The way farming has evolved, the smart ones better stay home to manage the dynamic business farming has become. But I do think it is impossible to wear all the hats that would be useful in a farming enterprise. There better be enough earned to help pay for the advice and help required.

Under the turntable. Where the axle pivots broke out from what I can tell. After that broke it bent the front meter auger tube, both spindles broken, not sure how not damaged the back meter auger tube. Tires were under anhydrous tank pushing dirt when first noticed. One tire popped bead. Rewelded in the old bushing that broke out. Got new axles and just done welding them on letting everything cool down before putting old hubs and new bearing seal dust cap in. Hope to get drill home before rain but several hours to get that done yet for sure. Then can work on the bent meter auger tube. Some hydraulic line damage and big air line damage also. My luck should change to the good now right???

Sask is it raining there already?

Total downpour here. Drenching torrents. Time to
get out the bathing suit and rubber boots. Pars

I'm went to lake late yesterday it just started at
Canora.

Just took my mother back to nursing home and
reality stared me in the face. No matter how hard
we work, how successful, how smart, we all end
up in the same state. I am for the path of least
resistance now.

Love, live, laugh, good health to all my AV
friends. Lets stay far from the edge.
