Good Morning!--Chat thread

Put the car seat in the truck and strap the kid in. Give him a few different things to play with and go to work.

You should have the wagon on behind the baler and then you wouldn't have to go back and pick them up.

driving the hay truck is easy.just remember to go slow enough they can throw the bales on the trailer.an jump on the trailer when they need to stack higher.

No, I'm not really ready to buck bales, but that doesn't matter...DH just came home and said we're getting our first load tonight as soon as he gets the tires on the car trailer fixed and we unload the hot tub that's been sitting on it since last fall. I definitely want it in the barn before it rains, though. It'll take us three trips this year - 300 bales.

Oh, hallelujia...I just looked at the forecast...and the first half of next week they're calling for showers and temps below 70!!! After the scorchers we've had the last couple days (and will have through Sunday), that's very welcome news.

DH is out spraying the corn. He was grumbling about needing the oats cut too. They are in the field beside the house, I can cut them. I haven't used this haybine so I asked if there was anything he wanted to show me or should I just head for the field and cut. He comes back with, "Can you cut?" Like I'm some stupid idiot!

Before Kute Kitten came along, I would finish chores and milking eat breakfast, grease haybine, hook onto haybine if it wasn't already hooked on, cut enough for 3 loads, come back in and grease the chopper, hook onto a wagon and go chop, bring that back and repeat the process until all three chopper boxes were full. I had no help during the day. I did it. By the time I had that much done it was back to the barns again. So, where does he get off? He almost got told I was done driving tractor, just like I'm done feeding heifers because after 10 years of doing it I suddenly became incapable.

I have a much better idea for thewife: Pretend (may not have to) be distracted by the little one, drive something through the fence or run over a couple of bales and get fired. Walla, you get a nap!!

 

[wynedot55]

they wont fire her.because they are used to her tearing stuff up.

 

[homesteadingcowgirl]

yeah, it never works for me either

what exactly does DH stand for (hopefully not dufus husband)

DH = Dear Husband or D**n Husband depending on the day.

All I would get is into trouble.

Hit a rock and bent a knife. By the time I had it tore apart DH was back in and he put it together again. To dark out now to work. Time to make supper.
