Senile Texas Aggie - comic relief for the rest of you

Then as I started to put up the chipper and tractor, my BIL noticed that hydraulic fluid was leaking from the chipper's tank. It turned out to have a hole in the tank. I contacted the company and they are shipping a new tank to me.

Wow, glad your BIL caught that, sorry it wasn't right from the get go.

Well, having worked in the warehouses in Mphs, Tn....no AC thru the summer.....when ya dress for 'work' ya shake or tap a baby powder or body powder in your undies...then put your britches on....something else that may help is the put a folded bath towel in the seat....the covering of the seat doesn't "breathe" to disipate the heat....just like your arm getting stuck to a pleather chair....yo fanny is the collection spot for all the dripping sweat....changing some towels will help to soak up the water instead of your britches.....dress light.....

Could it be shingles? I have never had them, but they are very painful, and anyone who has had chicken pox can get them.

First, last week my Beautiful Gal and I celebrated our 44th wedding anniversary! Can you believe she would put up with me that long?

Happy belated Anniversary to you and your Beautiful Gal!

44 years are definitely to be celebrated and bragged about these days! Congratulations

You can use witch hazel for soothing the area and put aloe on it at night, but when you are out in the heat use the monkey butt powder, it really helps when you are working and sweating your butt off.
Then when it really has cleared up completly try the walmart equate....medicated body powder....relieves itching, cools skin, absorbs moisture and helps protect skin....for women it is great for under boobs or butt, guys just go for it, nonthing beats a nice cool comfortable bottom and guy junk on a hot summers day working ! If your skin is extra sensitive, use corn starch...it also works

I've probably spent more tractor seat time than most here & I've never had any of the 'butt rash" problems I have seen spoken of here. All 3 of my bigger equipment still has steel seats, with the lawn tractor being the only exception. My oldest sister spends many many hrs on her Kubota every week and she's never had problems either that I know of, other than a bum knee when she finally steps off it at the end of the day.

I spent the better part of 2 years working inside a sweltering Tyvex suit working in radiation remediation, spent years in hot engine rooms, a year in one of the hottest most humid/wet places in SE Asia with nomex flight suit on over my regular clothes, and again, never had any of this problem, nor did my twin brother.
I guess my family is just all hard axxes..

I have spent a fair number of hours on a tractor seat also, the Farmall H being the old steel seat, and have never had that rash problem either. Guess I fall into the same category GB. And we just got started making hay for this year.
