Back at the Ranch

Back on the ranch.

Morning chores went as usual and we were all immidiately off and running to one field or another. Jeff fueled up and went out to the hydraswing, Ross went to the windrower, Tina went to check wells on the four wheeler, Merle had an appointment with his insurance man, and I went out to farm.

I just serviced and greased, and picked up where I left off. This time, I even managed to make it to the field without getting lost or bending anything. I disked all through the day and didn't stop until I got rained out around five. The wind kept switching on me, which made the direction of my movement rather intresting at times, but I think it'll all work out. I will only have about and hour or so left tomorrow morning. When I made it back, Tina and I started chores and Merle wsa out storm spotting because there were non-confirmed reports of a tornado west of Martin by Boomdocks. He said he never saw it, but I honestly think I might have from the tractor at one point, but it was so far away I wasn't sure just what it was exactly. But, nothing ever became of it and no damage was done that I know of. We finished up chores and Tina and Jeff headed home. I did some odds and ends and then headed in to get some groceries.

On the way to town I had a car coming toward me spin around and do a U turn, ending up facing the same direction I was. Yeah...it was a tish muddy right there and they didn't see it. But, in the process of going by them I almost ran off the road too! It was quite the deal- rain in town, but not much here. I made it to the grocery store just a minute or so after they had locked up- that was really nice to waste that drive. But, on the bright side, I did get my mail and at out at the steakhouse in town with Merle, Tina, and Tashina (friend of Tina's from Martin). It was nice to sit down and eat some real food that doesn't compare to my luchbox sandwiches. We ate, and headed home, and of course I had to win a game of cribbage before I left. That kinda concludes the day, tomorrow will probably be hay hay hay!
