Baymule’s Journal

Sounds like the wheeling and dealing in the oil fields over here. I can pull up to $40 plus an hour at any given time, but they never could pay enough for me in what my time is really worth since I'm not desperate.

When the next guy flips another crane on another bridge, maybe the guy will realize he should have just paid Layne the $45/hr!

Reminds me of when my husband was working as a mechanic. The shop decided to cut the time paid for the licensed mechanics to do oil changes. Since it wasn’t worth their time anymore they started leaving those jobs to the apprentices.
Pretty sure the higher ups changed their tune after one of the apprentices ran the engine of a BMW with no oil in it and the company had to replace the entire engine.
Gotta love it when penny pinching policies cause companies to shell out more than they would’ve if they hadn’t cut those corners in the first place

If they’d just given your DS the 45 an hour to start with, they would’ve ended up saving money in the end

I’ve got 41 small round bales, 4x5. My tractor can pick up that size. I had one bale left from last year and I’m feeding it to the rams and ewes in breeding pens right now.

It’s been pouring hard here for 3 hours. Power is off. Called it in. Thunder. Lightening. Friend called to tell me I had a tornado, but upon questioning her, it’s 30 miles away, moving east, away from me. Can I get just a nice soft rain without all this storm crap?

Got a kitten today. It’s in the chicken tractor. At least it kept the chickens up high out of the water. It’s in the chicken tractor to keep it safe so dogs don’t eat it. We’ll have to do introductions and hope for the best.

Light show outside with lightening flashes. I raised the blinds, it looks like a lake out there! Supposed to rain all night. This is my half inch of rain. Phone app is a liar.

Sheriff posted a tornado is on the ground. On other end of the county from me.

I’m bored. Would like a ceiling fan please. Friends are posting memes saying Tornadoes! Don’t sleep naked! These friends are all old ladies like me. We all need to sleep naked and run outside and scare the damned tornadoes away. LOL

Thinking of you - I hate tornados. I grew up with them.
Hope all will be well when morning light starts to break.

Perhaps TMI, but...

I told my neighbor that if my house ever catches on fire - the first thing she should do is grab me a robe, lol.

Hope those tornadoes keep going in the opposite direction!

So that's why there is no twisters around here, ah now I know. Though it was just the weather.

Out here you could knit that robe before the fire department got here. You actually can't get homeowners insurance living here due to response time.
