Ever have one of those weeks where Friday you look back and ask yourself what you did that week? In my defense, this was Thanksgiving week. Aman was on vacation so I didn't have anyone pushing me to accomplish anything. I took a couple mostly personal days ... but even then they are not entirely non-farm. For instance, Sue and I went shopping. Coming back I saw a seed tender for sale. It's just what I want.
I called. His price is actually pretty fair ... if it weren't for some of the other stuff I did this week. I mentioned shopping. Sue bought some Christmas presents, I bought a combine ... yes, we signed papers on the Big Green Machine.
BIG GREEN COMBINE
Yeah, I know, I should get some real photos of it.
I've been hoping to haul grain for the Prust Farm. The grain has been sold, augers are in place, just waiting for Littlejohn's to come get it. I called Wednesday and was told they were full and waiting on a train. And I might be a couple weeks before they could come after it!
So not a lot happened on the farm this week. Put the disk, roller, tandem axle trailer, and Soil Saver away away, moved the grain trucks to a different location, pushed a little dirt and modified a field entrance, cleared out some parts drawers, bought a combine, took the platform off the 2166 and put the corn head on ... "piddle jobs". Also the thing I am worst at.
Dad did the piddle jobs. Once field work was caught up I took off and hauled propane. It's been a difficult task for me to master, the odd-job off-season stuff. And now I am setting home waiting for a delivery. I hate waiting. Gotta go, someone just pulled in.
Later Y'all
