Summer

It had been quite a while since my last post and a ton of stuff has happened although none of it was really anything spectacular. The main thing I've done though is work however since this summer has been sort of strange which has made doing some things rather difficult. With all of the rain we have had it has been hard to do certain things because it was either too muddy or because there was another chance of rain.  When it wasn't raining or to muddy I swathed, raked, and baled hay. Then once all of the brome hay was baled I spent around a week straight hauling hay. I counted one day and figure I hauled somewhere in the area of 250 round bales by myself.  This may not sound like it is very many but when you figure that each baled weighs roughly 1400 lbs. each. Which works out to be 350,000 lbs. of hay. Then once most of the brome was baled it was time to start wheat harvest which thankfully went without any serious breakdowns. Harvest had to be the highlight of my summer and not just because harvest is awesome and lots of fun but because I got to drive one of our semis on the road. I was able to upshift without too much trouble but downshifting and stopping I had trouble with which is probably a bad thing. Well that is a little bit about what has been going on and I will continue to tell you about my summer and what is happening over the next few weeks.
